Custom Application Development Projects
This page showcases my work in custom application development, focusing on building practical systems that support real business workflows, reporting, and long-term operational use.
Overview
The projects here demonstrate my experience and approach. I focus on building applications that are structured, reliable, and easy to use, with a strong connection to relational databases and reporting requirements. My approach is centred on practical solutions that reflect real operational needs rather than theoretical design.
Private Custom Application Development
Building custom web applications for private and personal projects, focusing on practical, user-friendly solutions connected to transactional systems and decision support environments.
-
Currently developing ASP.NET front-end systems, including this portfolio website, designed to connect cleanly with SQL Server relational databases without going into project-specific detail.
- Technologies: VB.NET, ASP.NET
Horse Racing Prediction System
A long-term personal project focused on developing a data-driven prediction system, built over more than ten years. The application is designed to analyse race data and identify performance patterns using structured relational data and reporting techniques.
-
Developed using both ASP.NET and Microsoft Access front-end approaches, connected to a SQL Server database for structured data storage and analysis.
-
Uses stored procedures and structured queries to support data analysis, reporting, and ongoing refinement of prediction logic.
-
Currently maintained as a private system, with potential future release depending on further development and evaluation.
- Technologies: VBA, VB.NET, ASP.NET, Microsoft Access, SQL Server, T-SQL
Client Brokerage Management System
Designed and developed the CBMS front-end application to operate with a centralised SQL Server backend, providing a structured and user-friendly interface for managing client brokerage operations within a state government environment.
-
Developed a Microsoft Access front-end application using Visual Basic, deployed in a centralised server environment to support multiple users across the organisation.
- Provided regional agencies with the ability to maintain and manage their own operational data within a centralised system.
-
Implemented features such as form validation, interactive pop-up message dialogs, and error notifications to improve usability and support data quality.
- Technologies: Microsoft Access, VBA, Visual Basic, SQL Server
Booking System
Developed a booking system for a non-profit organisation, supporting over 400 interpreting jobs per month. The system operated continuously for more than 20 years, demonstrating long-term reliability and practical usability in a real operational environment.
- Initially developed as a Microsoft Access application with structured forms and reporting to support day-to-day operations.
- Later evolved into an ASP.NET web-based application connected to a SQL Server database to support scalability and ongoing use.
- Technologies: Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, ASP.NET, VB.NET, JavaScript, SQL Server
