# Payload Technologies — improving the eManifest platform
I worked as a contract Software Developer at Payload Technologies from March to May 2021, improving an eManifest platform used in heavy-vehicle transport. The work included application changes, code reviews, and new feature development using Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft SQL Server, and GitHub.
# Improving performance and reducing defects
In three months, the improvements raised application performance by 20%. New features and maintenance also reduced the defect backlog by 25%.
The platform supported completeness and compliance for hundreds of heavy vehicles in transport. I contributed code reviews and application improvements as part of that work.
