Air Traffic Controller
ATC, or Air Traffic Controller, is a management tool developed for project handling and HR management tasks internally. It serves as a centralized hub for storing and accessing accurate information across different channels. It is built for functions like invoicing, emails, SMTP, messaging, and SignalR for real-time updates.

Challenges & It’s Solutions
The intricate configuration of client modules posed a challenge, compounded by redundant database structures. Untangling this complexity demanded strategic restructuring and database optimization, paving the way for a more streamlined and efficient system.
A new version (V2) of the client module structure was introduced, designed for better intuitiveness and ease of management. The restructuring aimed to simplify operations and enhance user experience. To achieve this, the complexity of the database was reduced by minimizing redundancy. Furthermore, a fresh user interface design was developed to provide a more user-friendly interaction experience.
Managing changes in service rates and maintaining an accurate record of rate history was quite a challenging task. A system was required to manage upcoming alterations in service rates, ensuring seamless transactions in the future. Additionally, there was a need to track both present and past service rates to facilitate predictive invoicing.
We implemented Hangfire jobs to automatically update service rates for individual users. Moreover, a logging feature was developed to document rate changes, enabling administrators to monitor and analyze rate fluctuations over time.
Transitioning from CoreUI to DevExtreme UI posed a significant challenge due to differences in design patterns and component structure. Integrating DevExtreme seamlessly while maintaining the functionality and aesthetics of the existing system required careful planning and execution.
To address this challenge, we adopted a systematic approach. We began by conducting a thorough analysis of the DevExtreme UI framework to understand its capabilities and limitations. We then devised a migration strategy, prioritizing critical components and features for conversion. We ensured a smooth transition through iterative testing and refinement using DevExtreme's extensive documentation and support resources. As a result, we successfully implemented the new UI, enhancing user experience without compromising functionality.
Adapting LINQ-based queries to SQL-based queries posed a significant hurdle, particularly for complex analytics involving multiple tables and intricate calculations. The performance degradation caused by LINQ queries led to slow page loading times, impacting user experience and system efficiency.
To overcome this challenge, we undertook a comprehensive optimization initiative. First, we conducted a detailed analysis of the existing LINQ queries and identified performance bottlenecks. We then restructured these queries into optimized SQL based equivalents, which took advantage of the query optimization capabilities and efficient data retrieval methods of SQL. Additionally, we implemented caching mechanisms to reduce database load and enhance query execution speed further.
