Analyst Programmer

Contracted to develop and maintain three key areas: student and staff timetabling, attendance monitoring and exam timetabling. The role involved leading multiple concurrent workstreams, collaborating closely with project sponsors, software testers and other developers, with all work tracked throughout via JIRA.

Key achievements included serving as lead developer for a comprehensive Attendance Monitoring system, delivering functionality for recording, viewing, amending and reporting on student attendance across a range of events - including full package deployment and supporting documentation. Further contributions included a series of timetabling improvements, notably resolving a subgroup display issue affecting student timetables, implementing client-side validation and auto-population to improve staff-facing timetable tools and reducing workshop portal page load times from approximately 30 seconds to 5 seconds through targeted query optimisation. Additional work encompassed a full rebrand and responsive redesign of all Attendance Monitoring components to ensure university branding compliance and cross-device compatibility, alongside the implementation of consistent navigation and breadcrumb controls throughout.
