PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Vista, CA

.Net Application Developer (SaaS)

Responsibilities:

• As part of a newly formed small "Big Data" team, I architected, designed, and developed a real time analytics platform for high resolution traffic data (potentially petabytes of data) within the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform.
• Back end data created by traffic controllers were sent to the cloud in real time and cluster ingress utilized various technologies from HDInsight (Microsoft's branded and managed cluster service).
• These technologies include storage (Azure Blob Storage, Data Factories, and HBase Tables), ingress (IOT devices, Event hubs, on-demand Apache's Hadoop and Storm clusters), data extraction (Apache Hive), Machine Learning (predictive analytics), and presentation (Microsoft MVC, Tableau) for production of data visualization reports and data modeling.
• Integration of third party Delphi DLLs into Transparity, McCain’s premier LOB WPF application, for optimizing offset values from controller to controller in a traffic arterial.
• Implemented TMDD (Traffic Management Data Dictionary) compliant WCF services for traffic data exchange among disparate TMSes (Traffic Management System). This is an extensible specification.
• Implemented an extension of the TMDD spec known as IEN TMDD which covered the municipalities within and around Los Angeles County.
• Implemented a service focused upon the import and export of the Universal Traffic Data Format (UTDF) to facilitate the exchange of traffic data between third party analysis tools such as “Tru-Traffic” and “Synchro”.
• Implemented a SaaS offering to enable data sharing among disparate vendors in the cloud. This solution uses a multi-tenant SQL backend and a portal which morphs to the needs of the current user.
• This offering (known internally as C2C) uses the latest front-end web technologies such as Polymer, JQuery, and the traditional triumvirate of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Certain Portions of C2C use SPA techniques.

SEIII (Software Engineer III) / Software Development

Responsibilities:

• Engaged in a Scrum Team focused on replatforming our Affidavit offering. This is an internal website which processes affidavit requests from our customer facing website. I was responsible for the middle and backend tiers.
• Concurrently, I worked on a proof of concept which employs RESTful principles using Microsoft’s WebAPI and other technologies such as SQL Server, NServicebus ESB, OWIN, WCF, and C#. Regarding SQL Server, I was exclusively responsible for: database design, optimization, and creation of all database objects including but not limited to Stored Procedures, Triggers, Views, and UDFs. All development is “Microsoft Stack” within Visual Studio 2013 and Team Foundation Server.
• I worked directly with the small Architecture Team which is responsible for overseeing the architectural decisions made by the development teams.
• Jointly, the two teams selected an SOA Framework which focused on an event driven model using proven Domain Driven Design concepts and a toolset which includes NServiceBus enterprise Service Bus and MSMQ as the message transport.
• The three year focus was to re-architect the existing codebase which features WCF (failure prone synchronous calls) to the new architecture which features Message Based (failure tolerant asynchronous calls) communication protocols.
• All “Greenfield” software efforts were to utilize the new architecture exclusively.
• In addition to the above, I used C# (.Net Framework 4.0 and 4.5), MS SQL Server 2012, and Visual Studio 2013 with TFS to maintain and extend our SaaS offering, “Remote Print and Mail”.
• This has been a very successful offering, constituting 12% of our current revenue.
