Overview
An assessment provider ran online tests on an older ASP.NET application. We converted it to ASP.NET MVC Core and refined both sides: the user module with authentication and dynamic question screens supporting several question types, and the administrative section with data import, file upload, e-mail through SendGrid, geolocation and Office 365 integration, hosted on Azure with SQL Server.
