  Blue chip

  Mar 2005 - Mar 2006

  Senior Software Developer

  Senior Software Developer – Formal Software development to highest standard. C#, .Net Framework 2.0. Co-developed “Convergence” to read utility meters and moderate data for billing preparation. Heavy use of .Net remoting. Great work - but as we all read about - 'Bad Company'. This one [unknown to me at the time] would feature in the press a year or so later as it was badly operated and received bad publicity over its core product offering.
