Position: Team Leader and Lead Developer in Alensa Online – Software Development department

I was part of Alensa team between January 2007 and August 2008. Only the opportunity to study Media Informatics Master, held by RWTH Aachen University, could gave me enough reasons to leave Alensa Online that I enjoyed so much for almost two years.

I was in charge with our brand new solution for an online Healthcare project – Alensa Online. The Alensa Online Shopping site (www.alensa.ro) consists of an internet healthcare platform in Europe that would simplify research and self education related to health issues, and provides the customers with an interface allowing them to easily get their health questions answered by professionals. It was first developed by a third party company, then I took over the responsibility of developing and maintaining the solution.

My responsibilities were quite complex because I was the first hired person, very similar with Softwise company. This reminded me about the joy and responsibility that comes with this. Another nice surprise was to find in person of Mr. Alex Savic, the CEO of the company, a friend with whom I shared both technical discussions and personal development ones, he was one the most supportive about my decision to study in RWTH Aachen.

Shortly, at Alensa Online I were in charge with:

• Architecting and developing the web based solution using Microsoft ASP.NET / C# and SQL 2005 Server technologies;
• Performing server administration, configuration and maintenance for the Windows 2003 server, for IIS 6 and for SQL 2005 database server;
• Executing architectural modifications in order to make the website user friendly;
• Identifying, designing and developing solutions;
• Periodically testing the site functionalities and thus creating a real test environment, test cases and bug fixes;
• Performing code review, corrections and code optimization;
• Analyzing hardware/software requirements and proposing hardware/software improvements and suggestions (for example, choosing an appropriate hosting partner);
• Implementing real time traffic analysis tool to help the management department;
• Conducting internal training for his colleagues. More >
