PG&E

·         Main duties were to provide analysis and recommendations for client. Client required a complete review and evaluation of a C# windows application (line by line) and its database structure written by another consulting firm. This application was C# winform application front end with an MS SQL Server 2000 backend.

·         Showed the client how they could improve the application’s performance by using more stored procedures and by limiting the number of trips to the server. The program was written using “RDO”, however, recommended that they use “ADO.Net” instead, in order to take advantage disconnected dataset feature of ADO.Net.

·         Client also required a review of how collected data is imported into database. The current structure was using Excel and bulk insert which provides no error checking. I recommended the application manually parse, validate based on business rules before importing data into the database.

·         Performance of current GUI application was very slow and user interface performance was degrading. I recommend using asynchronous worker thread to improve application behavior and perceived user experience.

·         Assisted in the overall evaluation and re-design of a SQL Server database and made recommendations (ensured the tables were normalized).

·         Recommended that client transition from Web Service to using .Net Remoting which centralized around well-known and well defined standards like HTTP and directly tied to the .Net Framework as oppose to COM, and Web Service which are retrofitted technologies. A shared assembly which contains serializable object and interfaces and base classes to MarshallByRefObjects; a server assembly, which implements the MarshalByrefObjects; and a client assembly, which consumes them was recommended.

Environment: Visual C# Dot.Net, ADO DotNet, MS SQL Server 2000, Transact-SQL, stored procedures SQL Scripts, Xml, SOAP, HTTP,  and Visual Source Safe 6.0
