Projects pre-2007

Some projects from further back

A description in reverse chronological order of projects undertaken prior to 2007.

ASP (VBScript) application with some VB.NET backend components to enable fee-earners to search for, retrieve and store (to third party archiving company) and track the movements of important legal documentation nationally.
My role was to build the database objects to facilitate the RMS functionality, and to script the import and cleansing of data from 8 different regional databases into a single national database.

Sometimes called ‘Fulcrum’, this ASP (VBScript) based application was built by Tikit using their own API.
Used by fee-earners to look for legal resources both within and outside Eversheds, using a system of ‘libraries’.

CyberDocs was an out-of-the-box application from Hummingbird, that Eversheds wanted to modify. It enabled users to search for internal legal resources in pre-defined libraries not dissimilar to Fulcrum.
In addition, users could also (if having the correct permissions) add new resources and modify metadata that could then be searched upon.
My role was to build the required functionality and modifications using the Hummingbird API.

The DIP calculator was on the Alliance and Leicester Retail Finance Site (RFS). Its purpose is to allow users to quickly guage their eligibility for an Alliance & Leicester mortgage without going through a full, formal application.
The broad business parameters for the calculation were supplied by the mortgage department.
My role was to work out and document the mathematical algorithm, then build the DIP calculator.

Also on the RFS website, this allowed users to see various Alliance & Leicester unsecured loan product scenarios.
The calculations were performed in a COM component written in VB which produced an extensive XML document showing a variety of loan options depending upon the input parameters.
I used the XML results to produce results tables on the site (using XSLT) and a web service (in C#) for external agents of Alliance & Leicester (such as IFAs) to use.

Site built to allow Independent Financial Advisor and authorised agents of Alliance & Leicester to get information about products.
My role was to build the entire site framework (in ASP), including stylesheets (CSS) and scripts (Javascript), and supervise a junior developer to put together the content for the site.

The Alliance & Leicester motoring portal with the broad objective of selling car loans and insurance by offering motoring related information.
My role was build, enhance and maintain this site over a number of rebuilds through about 3 years.
