Senior Software Development

Technologies used: Visual Studio 2017, C#, SQL Server, JavaScript

Responsibilities:

• Senior software developer working at a large Confidential.
• It was my responsibility to provide software support for several large C# applications that all worked together to provide a Web API that various smaller companies would use to send quote requests into the system.
• These applications utilized software patterns to structure the code such as the Façade and Adapter pattern.
• Besides this, I also maintained the front-end web application customers used to create/edit insurance policies.
• This front-end made use of AngulerJS and JavaScript to enhance its performance.

Head of Software Development

Technologies used: Visual Studio 2012 & 2013, .Net 4.0, C#, SQL Server, Winforms

Responsibilities:

• Head of Software Development. Successfully designed programmatic solutions to increase the speed and reliability of the estimating process employed by this successful home building company.
• Because I have a unique combination of both home building experience and programming, I was tasked with developing a C# application that would serve as an interpreter between a 3D home modeling application and an existing, custom estimating system.
• The new system I wrote interprets the unique materials list produced by the 3D software into custom materials the builder's system would recognize.
• Successfully designed and implemented faster ways of producing an estimate as well as added safeguards to insure calculation errors were not inadvertently introduced, as had been a problem in the past system.
• Also designed and developed a custom database of material and labor prices unique to the business environment of the geographic area.
• This database could be accessed by the estimating system so that price look up was easily accomplished on the fly, thus giving all estimators a common body of materials and prices to work from.
• Standard OO techniques were employed to make the code more reliable and easier to maintain.
• Lead the team of estimators on how to use the new systems, as well as how to update and maintain the custom database of materials.

Senior developer

Responsibilities:

• Successfully designed new application architectures and mentored others on the team.
• Worked closely with both management and users.
• Autonomously designed and developed an ASP.Net MVC Intranet application for internal use.
• The application allowed internal personnel to manage the approval process for various individuals and organizations wishing to conduct financial related business.
• It pulled data from a SQL Server database, using MS Entity Framework, to retrieve and update customer data.
• The app was designed and developed conforming to specifications and used industry standards, plus Bootstrap, for UI formatting.
• Adhered to strict MVVM (Model View View Model) standards, thus keeping model, view, and controller code in their appropriate places.
• This code served as a model for future MVVM applications.
• Also, the UI was enhanced via use of JavaScript I wrote.
• Other duties included mentoring others on the team, plus maintaining and updating a large, existing VB.Net, WinForms application.
• My past experience in both meant I was the logical person to take on such a role.
• This application was very large, and used by a significant number of internal staff.
• I had to refactor many areas in it, modify the UI, as well as modify a common database access DLL used by it and other applications.
• The common DLL was also my responsibility to maintain, plus make sure that changes did not adversely affect other applications that depended on it.

Responsibilities:

• Lead developer working with management to develop a new application.
• Successfully designed and developed application that periodically read data from a company web service of check images, sent the images through a 3rd party OCR package, then rated the payee and amount against a database of similar check data.
• Since the application had a potential to have to process 500 checks every two hours, multi-threading was used in order to speed the process.
• The code divided up the work into 5 parcels of checks, then processed all 5 simultaneously.

Responsibilities:

• Successfully maintained existing C# applications, as well as applied new features.
• Worked with clients and QA personnel to deliver the desired changes.
• The applications were very network-centric, meaning they had numerous references to enterprise-wide code.
• This added to the complexity of debugging.

Responsibilities:

• Short term contract stepping in to handle some of the excess programming load.
• Because of my OO experience, I was asked to develop the custom classes and object model needed to capture the business-rules of an ASP.Net page for a real estate forms entry application.
• This was the net-sheet form used in a real estate transaction that was to handle data entry of over 50 fields, including intermediate and final numeric summations.
• Reliance on custom JavaScript functions I wrote, enhanced this process.
• This proved quite successful and my design made changes much easier to implement.
• I also worked on a separate mobile application that performed engineering calculations for wind load on windows of a building.
• My degree in engineering enabled me to work effectively with the client in understanding the calculations and raising questions when there was a question as their correct execution.

Responsibilities:

• Lead developer successfully maintaining two existing applications.

• The other was a Windows-Forms application used by company employees to compile the reviews, preparing them for publication and delivery to paid subscribers.
• This was written in VB.Net. Both applications used SQL Server 2010 on the back end.
• I was also tasked with the complete re-write of both applications which included responsibility of designing the new code, website, and the internal application to maintain this system.
• The new database design was also left up to me, thus I employed better normalization techniques that were lacking in the original design.
• My goals were to design a better UI, as well as C# code that would be easily maintained and modified in the future as needs changed.
• I adopted a 3-tiered methodology to accomplish this, along with my years of experience writing maintainable applications.
