Qt, C++, & JavaScript(~15 years experience)

Steven has performed extensive work utilizing Qt, C++, and JavaScript to enhance and extend the xTuple ERP system client software.

The xTuple ERP client is a QtWidgets (Qt 5) based desktop client written in C++ which connects directly to a PostgreSQL database server. The client allows extensive, though fairly low level customization via QtScript sufficient to modify existing functionality and to create new forms and functionality.

Steven's experience with Qt began with developing extensions using QtScript and QtDesigner (~15 years). Later, as Steven's work focused on enhancing xTuple's core product, he worked directly on the C++ code base (~5 years).

xTuple ERP targeted C++11 as the language standard for their implementation. Given the scope of C++, this skill can be difficult to characterize with a simple proficiency grade. Steven's skill with business logic and OOP essentials would likely be characterized as "proficient", but some systems oriented C++ and more advanced topics such as advanced memory management, templates, etc. would be either "Competent" or "Basic" depending on their expected frequency in straight-forward accounting software. "Competent" is therefore reasonably descriptive generalization of C++ related skills.

Elixir/Phoenix Framework/OTP(~2 years experience)

Steven selected the Elixir language for the Muse Systems Business Management System project due to its being built upon the efficient and resilient Erlang BEAM VM runtime environment, the development productivity of the language, and the availability and quality of essential frameworks and libraries including the Phoenix Framework and Ecto.

Overall, Steven is "Competent" with Elixir, Phoenix, Ecto, and the other commonly used libraries. While Steve has accomplished much with Elixir, covering a broad number of OTP and framework/library concerns, his experience with Elixir is as a solo developer and he has not yet worked with Elixir in production environments.

Web/Front End Development

Steven's has a basic HTML/CSS competence in web development matters, but typically doesn't work in web related front end development. His skills would be consistent with a "Basic" level of proficiency. Much of Steven's experience in this regard is from helping clients with emergency support related needs, troubleshooting issues with development work done by others.

Other Languages & Tools

Steven has worked with a variety of other languages and tools over the course of his career. His experience and recency varies by each technology, but overall is less significant than those previously mentioned.
