WORK EXPERIENCE

Responsible for the management of all IT personnel and assets.

Provided architecture, design, and implementation for a software system providing a single-point interface through which multiple, disparate systems interoperate. User security, communications, information management, searching, reporting, logging, and system maintenance can be performed on any of these systems from a single point provided by this product. In short, this product allows users to present a tailored view or representation of the underlying systems it integrates, and is built upon an extensible framework that facilitates rapid deployment of new or changes to the existing subsystems it integrates.

Project developed in Java and deployed within a JBOSS AS with a MySQL datastore. Provides REST-based web service and RMI client integration.

Analyzed business requirements and developed software architecture for internet start-up. UML-based analysis including development of Use Cases, business model, sequence diagrams, and component diagrams from which service boundaries where identified. An analysis of COTS solutions for various aspects of the architecture was also provided. Delivered documentation is providing the foundation for the company’s movement into the design and development phases of their project.

Soup-to-nuts development for internet start-up. Served as lead architect, DBA, designer, developer, and requirements facilitator. Work encompassed the design, development, implementation, and support of a web-based real estate transaction management application. Project developed in Java. Client-side presentation developed using JSP, JavaScript, Struts, Tiles, HTML, CSS, and XSL-FO -- utilizing Apache’s XML FOP implementation. Server-side development included Servlets, JSP, tag libraries, and JDBC-based DB interface APIs. Deployment was in an Apache Tomcat application server utilizing a MySQL database server all running in a Windows Server 2003 environment. Utilized Struts and Tiles for workflow management and common layout encapsulation. Other APIs included JavaMail and MySQL Connector/J. Development performed using MyEclipse IDE with design models presented in UML.

Developed a generalized acceptance-rejection based application for generation of random variates from continuous distributions.

Developed a timber column design tool incorporating the modeling and solution of a linear program formulation of the problem domain and support for sensitivity analysis of same.

Developed a branch-and-bound algorithm for optimal placement of images within a variable display window.

Developed a SA-based application for identification of cutting patterns and machine assignments of same for preparation of raw materials in accordance with customer orders.

Design, development, and implementation of various utility and application software solutions for the Bellsouth Enterprise Foundation Component (EFC) and Enterprise Customer Database (ECDB) projects. Work involved object-oriented analysis and design with implementation in C++, Java (J2EE), JDBC, Unix utilities (e.g., nawk, korn shell scripts), Connect:Direct, Orbix2000, Oracle 9, SOAP 1.x, XML, Design Patterns, Weblogic 7.0. Modeling utilized TogetherSoft’s IDE.

Requirements Engineering Methodology Development, Requirements Facilitation, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, Java, JDBC, Javascript, Swing, HTML, XML, JSP, Servlet, RMI, and Weblogic 6.0/6.1 Lead facilitator for requirements acquisition. Lead for Accounting component. Object-oriented analysis and design utilized OMT, Design Patterns, and development with TogetherSofts’s IDE. Provided mentoring on requirements engineering process, SDLC, and advanced objected-oriented techniques.

Responsible for the design, development, and implementation of software in support of BellSouth’s Overture reengineering effort. Provided mentoring on "advanced" C++ and OO topics such as templates, function pointers, and pattern identification. Performed requirements generation, analysis, design, and implementation of presentation and domain layer components. Analysis and design of all projects was performed using the OMT of Rumbaugh et al. and the Unified modeling language. Implementation was in C++ on UNIX workstations (HP and Sun). Object models and event traces were developed using Rational Rose version 4.0. Debugging performed with Sun's Workshop visual debugger.

Responsible for the design, development, and implementation of software in support of Ameritech's reengineering effort. Work was performed on Sun and PC platforms. Provided C++, knowledge base design, and OOA/OOD mentoring. Provided analysis of business logic yielding a normalized Boolean generalization to facilitate capture in an expert system rule base.

Responsible for the design, development, and implementation of software in support of BellSouth’s Service Activation reengineering effort. All work was performed on HP 9000 workstations. Involved object oriented analysis and design with implementation in C++, expert system development, and GUI development.

Responsible for the design, development, and implementation of software in support of the Software Management System (SMS) for the management and provisioning of call processing information within the Advanced Intelligence Network (AIN). Included object oriented analysis and design, implementation in C++, SQL development, and compiler design and implementation.

Responsible for the research, proposal, design, implementation, and maintenance of real-time data communications and systems analysis software for the Strategic Air Command’s Command Center Processing and Display System (CCPDS).
