Rohan Cragg’s Experience

• Senior Software Engineer

  Weatherford

  (Public Company; WFT; Oil & Energy industry)

  November 2006 — September 2009 (2 years 11 months)

  At Weatherford I was a key member of a product team carrying out on-going development, deployment and support of market-leading oil-field production optimization software for international clients. This product leverages .NET and COM components to automate mathematical modeling applications and aggregate data from SCADA systems and relational data silos.
  
  From early on in this role I took on primary responsibility for successful and timely completion of major upgrades of the development platform including migrations between versions of Visual Studio and 3rd party controls and components. I was also instrumental in the recruitment of three new team members where I was responsible for telephone and face-to-face interviews, including composing interview questions and input into the final decision making process. In building the expanded team I reviewed and contributed to coding standards and played a major role in bringing new recruits up to speed on both software and business domain knowledge.
  
  I was required to provide ongoing guidance to more junior members of the team in planning and estimating their own work and in reviewing designs, progress and end results. I was responsible for restructuring of projects and solutions to improve developer productivity, and led an effort to move to a more Agile development practice. This effort has included responsibility for driving greater leverage of conti-nuous integration including installation and configuration of CruiseControl.Net and JetBrains Teamcity, and introduction of test-oriented development which required me to arrange training for developers who were not familiar with the concept of unit testing and refactoring. This effort continued with an on-going initiative to introduce repeatable test cases into a legacy code base and into all new code.
