1997-PRESENT, PRINCIPLE, PARTICLEWAVE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Representative Projects:

California Cancer Registry

• Implemented features and fixed defects on a complex N-tier project codebase featuring Javascript, VBScript, ASP, SQL Server 2000 stored procedures (including SQL Server 2000 XML extensions), Delphi, XML, and XSLT.

• Architected and delivered Vision Service Plan's new Member Portal application, a major port plus rewrite. The software was delivered on time under a tight deadline on which several third party deliverables had slipped.
• Introduced JSP (Java Server Pages) into an existing legacy Java project, providing training sessions and mentoring to other developers.
• Led the research, porting of our application, and deployment of a new servlet engine to improve runtime efficiency 250%.
• Implemented JUnit automated unit tests, automated installs, improved builds, and other "best practices" as needed to improve the quality of our processes.

• Wrote a custom connector in Visual C++ based on the client's API between their synch engine and an Oracle database maintained by a third party (the client's customer).

• Wrote an ActiveX container DLL, interfaces and developer tools for adding ActiveX support to a legacy business programming language (DBL), in MFC.
• Wrote a set of printing classes providing print job persistence and print preview for the same language, in Visual C++.
• Developed parsing logic and exception handling, and solved several RMI deployment issues for a socket-based remote procedure call system (in Java).

OTHER EMPLOYMENT HISTORY (1994-1997)

Cedaron Medical, Software Engineer: Created an ActiveX control accessing Cedaron's medical database in MFC and a wrapper around the DAO database functionality. Developed the control in C++ and a sample client in Visual Basic. Optimized our questionnaire engine resulting in a sixty-four percent performance increase.
