Job experience

January 2010 - current  Developer at SafeCom A/S

A mixture of Java SE and Java ME development.

June 2009 - November 2009  Developer at NeoConsult A/S

Wrote a mobile application using lwuit and the corresponding back end servlet. I also co-designed and implemented an API that was exposed through a number of web services.

Aug 2007 - March 2009  Supporter at NeoConsult A/S

Worked as a supporter on the NeoConsult SFR project, where I handled the non-trivial support tickets. This gave a huge technical knowledge of the system, and therefor I became the person the team turned to if they needed help.
Because of my extensive knowledge of the system my responsibilities changed so that I would investigate new errors and work up a patch proposal. Additionally I was responsible for creating workarounds for the errors until they could be fixed in production. As part of this I developed a number of tools to handle this.
Being a supporter has given me the opportunity to write many complex SQL queries, on a daily basis, against an Oracle database with several million rows.

May 2007 - Aug 2007  Operations & Systems Management at NeoConsult A/S

Day-to-day maintenance of a large production system.

Was tasked with systems monitoring and operational tasks out of normal business hours and weekends for Progrator. This included some support for customers with more extensive service level agreements.
