Database Developer, Website design, LogoDesign May 12 – Nov 12 www.ecosynergiesgroup.comCarbon Credit wholesaler dealing with 35Brokers :-

Recruited to re-design a malfunctioning Filemaker 12 database for the tracking and salesof carbon credits. I set up a remote Filemaker Server so that external Brokers can

access available Carbon credits to sell to the public. An online systemthat enabled each broker to monitor progress of sales through to completion.All new brokers were offered a website, logo design & brochure packagefor which I was also responsible.

My design brief was to dissect the existing Filemaker database systemthat was flawed in so many ways. I began by adding new functions thatwere missing and addressed the corrupt data issues.

Then I addressed the over complicated GUI and made the systemeasy to access without confusing pop-up layers.When designing the new GUI, I began by working with each user individually, highlighted their needs and responsibilities, then anew design was implemented and rolled out on a modular basisallowing the new system to run alongside the old system usingthe same data to avoid any interuptions of service.

This new design saved the company many hours of wasted timeperforming unecessary tasks and allowed for new reporting oftime management.

Filemaker Database Developer Jan 13 to Oct 13 www.advisalink.com

Recruited to design a data capture system for telesales leads marketing company lo-cated in Southampton.

The database system was designed using Filemaker 12 and captured client details, existing insurance and pension information in order to ascertain if aclient review would be required.The system needed to automatically connect to telephone auto-dialer system allowing telesales operators to automatically view client record details upon theanswering of the call. The system automatically generated and sent pdf attach-ment lead referral emails direct to suitable insurance brokers within the UK.

Also within the organisation was an insurance broker advisory service called Turner and Young, and some records needed to bere-directed to an internal insurance advisor, and a corresponding insuranceFact Find questionnaire needed to be completed for each client using theFilemaker database in accordance with FSA's strict guidelines in order toascertain their client's suitability and recording due diligence.Client confidentiality was strictly observed regarding commission values, personal details, etc as I designed the system to disable "export" and"save" functions from the database unless strict admin rights via log in pri-validge set was enabled.My system has enabled the company to become much more efficient and

able to access client details (with the correct log in details), easier and quickerthan before thus improving efficiency

My Design Process:-l I collaborate with the client, listening to their requirements, budget and time specifications,

along with any future expansion plans. Future plans are important because this will dictatehow the database and backend relationships should be designed.

l I take copious notes about the project and suggest possible functionality. I then write-upthese notes in a bullet point format, and if needed create a flow chart of the job process.

l I create layout mockups, which give an example of how the user interface will look and willhighlight all project elements, saving any design flaws later. By creating visualmockups I can enhance the design process, inviting questions and answers about theproposed layout/project. This process makes the design more relevant to the client.

l The design of the Database will begin by breaking the solution down intomodules/parts.

l I show the progress on completion of each module/part and discuss design elements, usually with a show & tell meeting. This enables a testing phase and any problems/bug fixes to be reported and corrected at this stage.

l I use a strict versioning system allowing for module rollout and rollback functionality.

l My scripting has copious notes for future expansion or other Filemaker developers tofollow on.

l A systems architecture document is produced describing table structure and relationships along with keyscripting deployment.

l Final testing before rollout.
