PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Used both internally and by customers to place orders for telecom equipment and facilities, and to track equipment, facilities, and the connections between them. I personally designed and developed many OMS modules, including the Contact Management Module, Document Storage Module, Segment Search Module, Capacity Alerts Module, and the Google Maps Integration Module. Development platform was .Net (ASP.Net, VB.Net and C#), SQLServer 2008 R2, LINQ, and Telerik OpenAccess ORM. Extensive implementation of user controls provided for significant code reusability.
• Served as a common authentication interface between subscribing apps and Active Directory. Written in C#, it extended the functionality of Active Directory so that application-specific permissions could be set at any level of granularity. Interaction with Active Directory was achieved via PrincipalContext, GroupPrincipal, and UserPrincipal .NET foundation classes. All functionality exposed via web services. Transactions were encrypted using the RijndaelManaged method.
• Successfully developed a POC mobile app using Telerik Icenium, Kendo UI Mobile, HTML5, and Javascript. (This environment allows development of mobile apps for both Android and iOS devices using the same codebase.) The app accessed the device’s camera, voice recorder, and file system, sent messages with attachments and downloaded files, using multiple Cordova 3.0+ plugins. The app also created a custom file extension and mime type, and associated itself with the custom extension.
• This project consisted of the installation and configuration, as well as the custom development and maintenance of a BPM/Workflow Automation solution (Sequence Kinetics) to streamline the processing in the SSM group. Also developed reporting framework for this system using MVC 4 and Telerik’s HTML5 Report Viewer.
• Designed and developed the company’s portal web site, which exposed various existing systems which had previously each had separate user interfaces, thereby providing a seamless user experience when entering orders or trouble tickets across all of our divisions and product lines. Created WCF RESTful web services in C#, which wrapped several existing systems, exposing their functionality to the presentation layer, which was based on MVC5 and HTML5.
• Designed and developed the company’s Quote System, consisting of two modules. The first (outward facing) module allowed customers to log in via the Customer Portal and enter quote requests for the company’s products and services. The second (inward facing) module allowed internal representatives to log in via OMS (see above) and respond to quote requests. The system was written in C#, runs under .NET 4.5, and consists of an MVC 5 application (architected as MVVM), a Business Library Layer, and a Data Access Layer. The DAL interfaced with Telerik’s DataAccess ORM and SQL Server.
• Converted entire OMS application to support updated version of Telerik DataAccess ORM, including use of Fluent Model. To support that effort, I developed a module that generated the necessary FluentModelMetadataSource class (configuration information) based on existing DAO classes, thereby saving weeks of manual development work on OMS and future projects.
• Imported data from Solar Winds database, and allowed for custom reports not provided by the purchased product. Written in C#, used Telerik Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC for grids and charts. Created “heat map” of outages worldwide using Telerik Kendo UI Maps, interfacing with GeoJSON map data.
• Utilized Visual Studio 2017, ASP.Net Core 1.1, Web API 2, and Entity Core 1.0 to create application that reads and writes Characteristic Specification data to SQL Server database.

Application Developer

Responsibilities:

• The Engineer’s Estimate Management System (EEMS) allowed the Port Authority’s Engineering Department to enter estimates for all phases of construction projects, record bids received from contractors, choose a bidder, and reconcile project estimates with final costs. EEMS development involved the use of .NET technologies including C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net, WebForms, and SQLServer, along with Crystal Reports and SSRS Report Viewer.
• The Roadside Device Management System (RDMS) incorporated IBM’s Maximo Asset Management system to store information regarding assets (equipment and inventory), their locations, maintenance schedules, and maintenance workflows. This system involved the migration of the functionality of several existing systems to a new, common platform. RDMS also linked to external ESRI mapping software. In addition to technical responsibilities, I was responsible for project management, including requirements gathering, project scheduling, all system documentation, and leading project meetings, involving heavy user interaction.

Software Systems Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Develop, enhance, and maintain the ACSS application, a Windows Forms application written in C#, which supports the company’s national call center.
• ACSS has a user base numbering in the thousands across the country.
• The system handles very large amounts of data on the front end, making it necessary to develop efficient caching mechanisms, data structure manipulation, and some multi-threading in order to provide the required level of performance. The project team utilizes Agile/Scrum methodology.

Generated detailed Requirements Document and Architecture Document.
• Designed and developed n-tier Expense System using WinForms and C# for front end, C# for middle tier, and Oracle database via ADO.NET. Users would enter expenses remotely while disconnected, then subsequently sync up cached data with master database via processes written in C#. Designed database schema as well.
• Designed and developed company’s n-tier Intranet web site, using ASP.NET, C# for middle tier, and Oracle database, via ADO.NET. Designed database schema as well. Distributed app used .net Remoting for communication between web server and app server.
