PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Technical Lead

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Served as technical lead / project manager for a new development group. Technical activities included tool evaluation, research, architecture, design, development, test, and establishment of coding and test guidelines. Tools included Visual Studio, CVS, Visio, and SQL Server. Methodologies featured agile (XP), object - oriented design and analysis, design patterns, and refactoring.
• Project management activities included requirements analysis and management, project estimation and tracking, and task assignments, defining software positions, posting and processing resumes, and face-to-face interviews.
• Designed and developed a Statistical Process Control (SPC) application for Windows NT/2000 using UML. The program interfaced to the server and MSDE versions of SQL Server 2000 and employed a Web-based interface, featuring charting, and data grid ActiveX controls. Authored several COM/ATL components and ActiveX controls using C++ and Visual Basic languages.
• Implemented the web server portion of the application with Internet Information Server, ASP, ADO, and JavaScript. The web front-end was coded with DHTML, CSS JavaScript, and jQuery. The database schema was designed using Access and SQL Server tools such as SQL Server Management Studio. T-SQL was used to code stored procedures, views, functions and triggers.
• Rearchitected the SPC product in 2002 for .NET 1.x using Visual Studio 2002/2003 as a hybrid application capable of standalone and web-based operating modes using C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and CSLA.NET. The new architecture featured the ability to map logical application layers to physical tiers, depending on customer host environments. An MVC pattern was implemented.
• Developed the coding and unit test guidelines for the team and selected tools for development, including CVS/Subversion, NUnit, NCover, FxCop, CruiseControl, and SourceForge issue tracking.
• Server interfaces featured remoting and web services, and XML. The Smart client application featured a combined ASP.NET 2.0 Web Forms and Windows Forms 2.0 user interface. Windows Forms was used for client side controls and standalone utility applications.
• Implemented a Windows 2003 Server and IIS 6.0 hosting environment.
• Migrated the database to SQL Server 2005 and implemented SQL Server 2005 Reporting and Integration Services.
• Migrated the SPC application to Visual Studio 2005/.NET 2.0 in 2005 and converted to an MVP ASP.NET WebForms architecture. Ported to Vista in 2006. Employed XML/XSLT/XSL transforms as an optimization for the web interface.
• Implemented WCF (.NET 3.0) in 2006 as a replacement for existing web services and binary remoting interfaces.
• Applied WPF and Silverlight (.NET 3.0) in 2008 to build client side controls for the user interface.
• Implemented client-side user interface enhancements using ASP.NET AJAX and JQuery.
• Migrated the SPC application to Visual Studio 2008/.NET 3.5 in 2008 and designed an ORM solution using LINQ and the Enitity Framework. Migrated to SQL Server 2008, including Reporting Services and Integration Services. Integrated Team Foundation Server 2008 and Sharepoint 2007 into the development tool chain. Ported the application to Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.
• Upgraded the SPC application to Visual Studio 2010/.NET 4.0 focusing on Entity Framework 4.0, WPF 4.0, and ASP.NET MVC 3.0. Migrated the unit testing framework to MSTest and Moq to support TDD.
• Upgraded the SPC application code to Visual Studio 2012/.NET 4.5 focusing on MVC 4.0, Web API, JQuery, and JavaScript libraries to support mobile web clients. Provided the application with a client side interface using WPF, and a thin, browser-based interface that supports mobile platforms using JQuery Mobile, HTML 5 and CSS 3.
• Added Web API 2.0 and SignalR 2.0 interfaces to the SPC data service using Visual Studio 2013 and .NET 4.51 featuring a RESTful JSON model with Odata support. Integrated the Kendo UI and Angular JS frameworks into the front end using TypeScript. Upgraded to Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6.1.
