Angular Front-end Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Contract with Accenture Federal Services working for Veteran’s Administration

Architect, Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• This is an Artificial Intelligence Genetic Algorithms project being implemented with Angular 11+, dotnet 6.0 Core backend with latest C#, Entity Framework, and SQL Server.
• This architecture surpasses all current GA designs I have found and is expected to solve problems normally considered too difficult for most current AI, and it will solve these much faster.
• This is being designed to focus on a wide range of application types (financial investment, manufacturing, science, ...) new: Clinical Research: some examples are Tumors, Stem-cell research, and Cancer.
• As dotnet 6+ (Core) is a high performance cross-platform base, it is currently targeted for release on Azure; however, I am currently evaluating Angular/Blazor and WASM.

Confidential

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Focus was Angular front end, dotnet Framework CORE backend with Entity Framework (both implemented in C#) and SQL Server. I built the application atop an existing (incomplete) base and produced the only technical and non-technical documentation of the product and its architecture.
• I successfully brought the application to production, fixed many problems, and continued toward additional releases.

Confidential

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• I was first brought on to work with a third-party UI Design company to create a user interface specification for a from the-ground-up restructuring of their shipment monitoring and tracking applications. I worked closely with the UI resource to define and build an Angular 2 set of tools to help implement the new look and feel.
• From that point I became a key resource for implementation of both angular and backend components, which included dotNet Framework Core 3, entity frameworks, and SQL Server. I worked closely with a contract development team who had previously built backend portions of the initial application, which served as a starting point for the upgraded backend.
• I then built many of the core Angular components and then have moved to implementing the specific (and ever-changing) look and feel while core Angular (“controller”) functions continued to grow. I was a key UI/UX front-end focused resource.
• As would be expected, changes in functionality rippled across the application and would affect both Angular front-end and the dotnet Core backend and required the ability to change contexts on a moment’s notice.

• The largest subproject was to assist client in combining many of their disparate databases and applications, which contained redundant and inconsistent product information. Analog and used SSIS to create an interim solution for migrating two systems. Using SSIS, we managed the process of correctly merging records into a single master.

• Mass department has been a long-time client of Collaborative working to improve all phases of their systems, which require tremendous amounts of manual effort. Our team (of 3) was asked to address a series of problems in the Fraud Investigation application. We were given a specific list of errors to resolve.

• Developed a plan to perform the migrations in a shorter time by creating custom tools to assist with the unique customization requirements.
• Implemented a robust migration tool in C# that analyzed the 2003 content database, determined what libraries should be migrated, and then created target locations for the libraries, which were consistent with MFS requirements, containing custom content types and additional meta-columns.
• The C# migration tool created custom metadata and custom values for added meta-columns.
• Utilized the migration tool to perform additional quality functions, such a site comparison to identify potential issues, powerful record selections followed by update of selected fields individually or in bulk, and semi-automated reporting of migration results.
• Produced a comprehensive 80-page user guide, detailing all aspects of the migration process from beginning to end, including all tools used and screen shots.
