Following the structural reform of Danish municipalities, the municipalities was charged with new responsibilities in social- and rehabilitation areas. i re-joined CSC Scandihealth to help sculpt the Microsoft .NET based VITAE Suite to handle these new areas.

Development team was about 30 developers, across development and operations/maintenance. As part of the team was an Indian offshore team based in Mumbai. I worked closely with both internal business developers as well as key stakeholders within the municipalities to specify the development tasks and bring these task forward together with the development team. I was also heavily involved in the public tender processes, working with the sales team on describing the proposal as well as presenting it to the potential customers. Also worked across development teams within the company, working on common development practices, e.g. fully automated builds and deployments based on Microsoft Team Foundation Server as well as documentation sharing practices based on Microsoft SharePoint.

Joined the central IT department in DLBR as both developer and architect.

Started working as a C++ developer within Healthcare, working on a resource booking system (OPUS Booking) for operating theaters. Keeping track of people, rooms and resources. Frontend was a C++ based COM/ActiveX component with a Natural based backend (GS!Åben) running on mainframe. Later we began a rewrite of the C++ based client application, not only the resource booking application, but the entire patient administrative system (OPUS Arbejdsplads), into a Microsoft .NET 1.0 WinForms based application. This new application used a SOAP based API to communicate with the same mainframe backend. I took on a lead developer role in that project and later on a junior application architect role, working closely together with both our business consultants and the healthcare personnel at the client.
