SUMMARY

Position as a software engineer or software project lead in ANSI C,C#, C++ or Java.

In my career I have worked with many programing languages and styles. At S&P I worked with C# and Visual Studio to port a C++ database engine to C#. The end product worked the same as the original, except that it performed faster due to my optimization. This speed improvement was unexpected by the engineering staff at S&P. C# has became my language of choice because of its ability to allow developers to elegantly implement designs.

Also during my assignment at S&P, I became a believer in the Nunit test suite.

Jan 1991-Present Confidential,
Architected and implemented the “Shows” horse shows office application. The original version was written in C for MS-DOS, then rewritten with C++ for MS-DOS, again rewritten in Borland Delphi for Windows at which time it became known as “Shows 2000”, with plans to rewrite it in Microsoft C# .NET to add SQL Server, exhibiter web support and multi-user support. The “Shows 2000” application takes care of all the record keeping for the show secretary including, but not limited to, producing all required reports, billing of customers, customer statements, fees, class entries, and creating a check list to insure that each horse, owner, trainer and exhibitor has the current memberships, health papers and registration papers.

Architected and implemented TalkJunky a special purpose media player to address the needs of listeners of podcast talk programs. TalkJunky was written in C# using an SQL CE database to track listening history of audio files. This allows the user to resume playing of any file at the point where it was paused or stopped. It also allows the user to search ID3 tags as a query. The database supports import/export via WCF and ASP.NET Web Services allowing the users to synchronize play history between multiply computers. Another unique feature is the ability not only to bookmark clips of an audio file, but trigger the display of an URL on queue.

TalkJunky was implemented in C# 4.0 using modern design patterns such as MVC, Singleton, Factory Objects, Entity Framework etc.

• Built a DVD based installer to install and run Fedora Linux on NextCom blade servers.

This position was a generalist position, which required coming up to speed quickly on different aspects of the project ranging from debugging Java objects to creating blade server install kits.

The task was creating an installable DVD to do an automatic install on a NextCom blade server. This required the creation of a NFS server on the blade with a disk drive and diskless clients for the other blade processors. This also included installing all the custom applications required for ARL (Airborne Reconnaissance Low) deployment.
