Bas Hamer’s Experience

Contractor

TSYS iSolutions

(Public Company; Computer Software industry)

November 2008 — Present (1 year 1 month)

Designed and implemented a business rules engine that could be maintained by end users in real time trough a web interface. The project was managed using Scrum and the technology was implemented in C# 3.5 (WCF, WPF, LINQ), ASP.net (Telerik) & SQL server 2005. Components I worked on include the security and logistics related to updating assemblies progmatically in real time, user work flow and rule language definition.

Contractor

National CineMedia

(Public Company; NCMI; Marketing and Advertising industry)

June 2008 — November 2008 (6 months)

Designed and implemented back end systems for a rich UI website written in flex. The back end was written in C# with SQL server 2005. Components I worked on revolved around searching, API integration (OpenID & Amazon), the notification subsystem and cross data source aggregation and normalization.
Facilitated the communication and selection for a 3rd party development company to assist the existing development team. Selection was based upon the results of code & design review as well as estimates of the quantity of work delivered.
Lead Developer

Fetter Logic, Inc.

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Financial Services industry)

June 2007 — April 2008 (11 months)

Led a project to release and maintained a proprietary reporting web based application for the financial services industry. The website was built using ASP.Net and SQL server 2005. During the time I was leading the project, the first version of the product was released, and the first service releases were deployed. Concurrent with the maintenance, there was an effort to refactor the application for both the database and application layer to improve maintainability and allow for improved security and extensibility. This project involved 10 developers.
Other accomplishments at this position were architecting and implementing a distributed processing system, on top of WCF and WF using C# and SQL query performance optimization for user generated reports.
Sr. Software Engineer

ManiaTV!

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Entertainment industry)

August 2006 — June 2007 (11 months)

Collaborated in the design and implementation of a live internet television website. The website was implemented in C# and ASP, utilizing Ajax for ASP. The backend was an n-tier architecture written in C# utilizing Entlib remoting. The database was SQL Server 2005.
Over time, my focus changed to internal tools and algorithms; during this time I led a team of three developers. Algorithms developed were used for a tag relations and image quality computation. Internal tools developed were for managing internal and external content, as well as C-level reporting needs.
