Total Office Manager 360

Revolutionizing Enterprise Office Management

Overview

Total Office Manager 360 is an all-in-one solution that integrates enterprise accounting, payroll, job costing, service agreements, work orders, field scheduling, dispatching, and inventory management into a single cohesive platform.

I played a pivotal role in transitioning the legacy system to a modern C# tech stack. The front-end was rebuilt using Blazor, while the back-end was developed using ASP.NET Web API to perform CRUD operations on a SQL database via Entity Framework.

The project earned a company award for the innovative code generation tool I developed, which scaffolded extensive boilerplate code for the back-end API, significantly reducing development time.

My Contributions

  • Modernization: Led the migration to a modern C# tech stack, leveraging Blazor for the front-end and ASP.NET Web API for robust back-end services.
  • Automation Tool Development: Created a code generating tool that automated the scaffolding of boilerplate code, saving valuable development time.
  • Enhanced Security: Implemented token-based authentication with Duende Identity Server (OIDC & OAUTH2) and configured Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure secure user management.
  • CRUD Operations: Developed comprehensive lists and CRUD pages for various office management operations.
  • Collaboration: Worked closely with subject matter experts to ensure the delivery of high-quality and accurate features.

Technologies Used

  • C# & Blazor: Utilized for building a modern and interactive front-end.
  • ASP.NET Web API: Developed robust back-end services to handle business logic and CRUD operations.
