I write code, fix things, break things, fix the things I break then fix the things that other people break.
My main focus was making the software more stable than it had ever been whilst adding the functionality required for the next major release.
My major task was the integration of FlexNET based licensing into the core product, and then providing the support/training for the rest of the team in the office.
My other tasks included the maintaining of the core product build scripts, installation packages and occasionally I would provide technical support to customers requiring help with their licensing systems. -
