PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Miami, FL/Perth Amboy, NJ

Lead Architect/STAFF Software Developer Engineer

Responsibilities:

• After three years as a consultant for the company, I became STAFF exempt employee
• And I assumed all software development duties as Lead Architect Soft. Eng. for the entire Miami Manufacturing Technical Operations (MTO), thus defining, developing and controlling all software baselines and frameworks required in all of our manufacturing processes.
• 3-5 Software Engineers under our lead.
• We designed and developed the entire infrastructure for the company’s Unified Quality System, consisting on a software framework to define, control and support a brand-new set of data collection systems all under the umbrella of the:
• Universal Data Collection (UDC) Application, which replaces the legacy Windows XP set of multiple data collection solution based on Access Macros, Forms and obsolete DB systems disseminated across the entire manufacturing facilities; all of them doing their own data collection, each of them under un-stable, and non-standard ways of doing things and providing a service for the specific manufacturing area or department.
• I created and implemented and entire software platform for data collection and reporting infrastructure, related to systematic manufacturing issues collected during the building of a specific instrument module that later on may get assembled and integrated into several other possible modules and/or instruments.
• And also applied to each and every possible data collection process, record retention policies, training records and UDC system user’s profile maintenance, keeping a strict control and enforcement of Confidential industry standards such as Part 11,
• We extended the original Final Test Framework (described in the previous experience as a consultant for the Beckman),
• And migrated it completely to .NET 4.0, providing and supporting the software validation processes required for implementation of the same final test software to be running under Windows 7.
• I planned, scheduled, developed and assigned development activities to other engineers, related to every key software element and architecture components in order to make possible such transition, and conversion processes to Win7, for all Workstation Bay PCs in the production floor, used for the latest instrument production line of the company: DxH. So, I have had to create and define processes, procedures to follow by users/customers of our systems, as well as processes and documentation and project templates for other existing software engineers and those to come into the team in the future.
• Another application was designed/ developed and implemented in the Final Test Area, for the monitoring and reporting of real-time status of any given instrument under final test at a given time.
• Production Insight Colored, PICMAN, serves as a windows app client application displayed at all time on a TV Screen, notifying with color-statuses, the insight of the final testing of every instrument on the floor. It notifies visually and by email, production managers and supervisors of the real-time status of an instrument at Final Test and triggers the attention on such items/ tasks of the process which have exceeded the expected given standard time for a specific task, that way forcing the supervisor to take action in order to turn down the visual colored flag.
• The application was awarded during internal Kaizen events part of the Danaher Business Systems (DBS). That way production has been able to improve the performance by taking action at the right moment of the process, then avoiding backlogs on orders and shipments of the product to customers.

Senior Software Developer, Consultant

Responsibilities:

• I took over the design and implementation tasks of a Final Test UI Windows Application as part of a team, for the company’s new generation biomedical hematology instruments line.
• I stablished a strong relationship with scientists and technicians using the hematology instruments, also gathering requirements and features needed to complement the Final Test Process of such instrument.
• I developed a User-Controls based friendly UI Windows App and framework to run on the instrument workstation PC. The application ordered the instruments to perform specific hematology and fluids analysis tests via robotic interfaces, then interacted with the data obtained and processed by embedded algorithmic modules, retained and transmitted by COM server objects, again processed at a higher level and finally presented in a stand-alone windows application used by the technician performing the final test process on the workstation PC.
• It involved an extensive use of the .NET 2.0 Framework and its interoperability capabilities with unmanaged code (Win32 calls, C++ libs of components developed by me and others) and COM, and the development of complex algorithms to measure bio-chemical data providing results in an automated manner.
• As a continuity of the above, the developed framework and application started being extended to accommodate legacy instruments, and their Final Test processes. Then,
• I reviewed and analyzed algorithms written in C++ belonging to old applications, figuring out possible path of conversion to C#
• I created SQL queries and data extraction and retrieval capabilities inside the framework to make the old instrument’s data available to the new application for its processing and evaluation needed to conduct the Final Test process.
• That way, integrating the old production environment with the new technologies to be put in place, and improving the current process workflow, facilitating the technicians’ work during testing, keeping digitalized track of all the technicians’ actions to solve a problem during testing and/or tuning and debugging phases of the instruments, and providing a way to make all that testing-process data available for technical operations and scientific researches and analysis, including Statistical Process Control.
• Everything has been conducted under a strictly regulated Confidential environment.
• I followed the SDLC, with a great emphasis on tuning and testing of the code via NUnit and Microsoft testing framework, for automated tests and Verification and Validation processes, since the company follows Confidential directives in all their products including software.

Environment: C#, C++, XML and HTML manipulation and generation (mshtml DOM), MS SQL Server 2005, ADO.NET, MS SSIS-BI Suite, Visual Studio 2005, NUnit, Microsoft testing framework tools, Vision, ClearCase, ClearQuest, Perl.
