Retained to build proof of concept that a web application could provide access to data and reports through the web. A Microsoft Access database and an Excel spreadsheet had been built as in-house prototypes by the time I became involved in this project. Their model at that point was for a Windows Forms application for employee use only.

Migrated the Access database schema and data to a SQL Server 2008 database. Modified the Access database to point to the external SQL Server tables through an ODBC connection. This was done so that their in-house prototyping can continue using the Access front end. Created Telerik report based on Excel spreadsheet prototype for report generation. Created ASP.NET web application prototype in C ASP.NET HTML JavaScript to host data entry forms using Telerik controls and web-based Telerik reports. Communication with the web application and database was done through a WCF web service that I built.

Tools: used Visual C SQL Server 2008 ASP.NET HTML Master pages Telerik RAD Controls and Telerik Reports.

Self Employed Software Developer confidential

Worked on two separate companies Intranet ASP.Net sites that were written using C in the code behind. In general the work can be thought of as site maintenance. Update web forms to reflect the changes that had been made to schemas re-working of the aspx pages and the SQL being used in stored procedures.

Migrated a Microsoft Access 2000 database to OpenOffice s Base application. Built a number of replacement forms from scratch as Base does not import them. Also had to create new queries as Base did not import them either. Modified database schema to normalize it and then added some new required fields. Added some new queries and forms required by the user.

Senior Software Engineer confidential

BI is a company that monitors individuals using GPS RF and Breathalyzer and Voice Identification technologies for various federal state county and city agencies. To accomplish this mission BI has created its own proprietary hardware and software. The customer-facing applications were three web applications while the internal monitoring software was a Windows application. The associated production databases were designed for a high volume of real time-transactions between various parts of the system.

First project was to design and create a Volume Simulator to send data to a processor that would normally be forwarded by a listener from field monitoring devices. The simulator allows BI to test its processors prior to introduction into the production environment with any number of virtual units calling in after any changes are made to the code. Designed and implemented a C Windows Forms application to create all of the data a simulation would need. Also designed and created a C multi-threaded Windows Service did the actual job of presenting the simulated data to the processors at the appropriate time. A SQL Server simulation database was designed and implemented using the production database as a template.

Designed and implemented a Windows Forms application for the unit testing of the processors with specific test cases to prevent problems encountered in production whenever changes to the processor codebase had been made. Also reduced the time that QA s spent on testing the processors. Routinely designed and created small applications for QA use when an interface for testing new features did not exist. Made suggestions about what areas to concentrate testing effort on when new functionality was added or code had been modified.

Participated in the architecture planning for a major revision of the ExacuTrack web application. Once the design had been approved helped implement the changes required in C and VB.NET code html Javascript database tables and stored procedures for a release.

Team Lead for Mobile applications. After gathering the user requirements designed and implemented two new Windows Mobile 5.0 web applications that enhanced and extended BI s ExacuTrack and GuardWare products. After their release in to production these applications spawned user groups within various agencies. Communicated with these user groups by phone conference meetings to address their concerns and suggestions.

Team Lead on different phases of BI s new integrated web application TotalAccess . Investigated various Ajax enabled web toolkits and narrowed the choices down to three for the team to review. Did the initial conversion of existing aspx pages into the new user interface framework based Telerik s Rad Controls and Ajax. Then created and implemented a user interface and workflow design that took take advantage of the new user interface metaphor provided by using the Telerik toolkit. Built several different WCF based web services to support the new application.

Designed and implemented a new multi-threaded Windows service that allowed base units to call into the ExacuTrack application TotalAccess. Later designed and created a new multi-threaded Windows service that re-directs calls from base units intended for the legacy application into the new application TotalAccess. In creating this service BI was able to avoid having to recall base units in the field for factory re-programming of phone numbers when an agency desired to move from the legacy to the TotalAccess system.

Hired to take over several existing development projects CompassTrac CompassTrac Mobile CompassWorks and CompassTrac Report Module that were written in VB6 and needed to be moved to .NET equivalents. These products were designed to be the gps-based positioning speed and status-reporting components of an Automatic Vehicle Location system.

First assigned task was to fix the high priority issues with the applications. Then converted the applications to .NET after new product designs were approved and then worked on product enhancements. New products and services were designed and implemented in C using object oriented techniques. Designed and implemented a new application CompassRespond Administration Module . The purpose of this new application was to be the core of an application and data update mechanism for similar to the Windows Update. It downloaded CompassCom executables and ESRI based map data files to a user s computer and then requested that the application be stopped while the updates were made. Was in the process of replacing ESRI MapObjects with ArcObjects in the existing applications at end of tenure at CompassCom. Also was experimenting with ArcGIS Server generated maps in a prototype ASP.NET web application.

Designed and implemented the necessary C classes and methods required when Prizm s directory and file-based project management scheme was replaced by a centralized database scheme.

Converted parts of an ongoing prototype written in Visual Basic to object oriented Visual C classes. Learned how to design automated tests using MS Test and then acted as a resource to QA s who desired to create their own scripts.
