Forensic Tool helps track down stolen laptops
For Absolute Software Corp., a public company in Vancouver, Canada that is known for their Software-As-A-Service project Computrace LoJack for Laptops, I led product definition, implementation, deployment and training for a strategic new tool that increased the success rate and productivity of a team of non-technical staff.
I worked with internal users to determine requirements, and developed Windows systems software in C++ and an ASP web application to meet their needs. I used techniques such as prototyping, object-oriented programming, unit testing, and in-source documentation to shorten development cycles and maximize maintainability. I incorporated new XML/XSL and Javascript techniques for improved user interface design and maintainability.
According to Lyle Singular, Director, Recovery Services at Absolute: “Trevor’s talents and capabilities have provided us with a tool that only a few short months ago was more of a dream than a reality. Trevor and the QA team had a very tight timeline on this last release and it came together beautifully. On behalf of the Recovery team I extend a huge thank you for this effort.”
August 10, 2010 Update. We have continued to use the tools that Trevor built 3 years ago and they have continually provided a backbone to our successful recovery service. They provided a foundation with which we have expanded and improved our capabilities that continue to secure customers and establish our services as first in the world.
