Application Architect / Developer

Responsibilities:

• Developed enhancements for Mortgaged Backed Security TBA forward contract allocations system, including auto-turn (real-time algorithmic allocation), which monitors the deliveries coming in from DTCC, executes a valuation on the pools, and for the pools of lowest value, finds opportunities to allocate them for delivery on a sell.
• Architecture / Design - Developed a solution for delivering auto-turn features and other urgent related enhancements months ahead of schedule. During the design phase, upon breaking the release cycle into stages, across which various aspects of the solution would be partially implemented, it became clear that the database, server side caching containers, messaging libraries, and user interface would have already been enhanced and delivered by the time coding had begun for the server side automation.
• This made it clear that it would be possible to trade off some of the benefits of a server side solution, in favor of a fast release cycle. The client side of the application had already contained the required business logic to do the evaluation, along with the framework to allocate the sell. So only simple observer on a separate worker thread was needed to monitor, evaluate, and turn incoming pools.
• With the exception of the delivery observer, all of the other constituent parts had already been developed, tested, and put into production, and additional time was saved in the overall development and testing..

Development Lead - Solutions Architect

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for leading development teams in NYC and Westborough. Case Management tracks specimen progress through workflows which are determined by the panel of tests to be executed. Lab procedures and result formats vary based on the tests and specimen types, resulting in the proliferation of custom result entry and applications and report types.
• As a result, it was important to move toward interface abstraction and code consolidation as an ongoing process, moving existing applications toward a pluggable state, while developing components to run within the portal where possible.
• Reporting System for Molecular Genetics - Designed and led development of meta-data driven, rule based reporting system for clinical testing. XML tags in report templates indirectly reference disparate internal and external data providers to generate reports. Windows forms Model View Controller (Custom built on .NET 1.1 framework) uses Layer Supertype Data Mappers to load domain entities from disparate sources.
• Lightweight domain entities contain validation logic and are referenced by the application controller and rules assemblies. Designed and implemented extensions to SQL Server Reporting services to make calls to a Command Dispatcher that allows reports to be generated from in-memory domain objects.
• Clinical Rules Engine - Designed and developed custom rules engine that uses providers to dynamically load rules and facts used to process clinical information. Rules are executed by a controller that lazy loads facts into the domain from various sources.
• Genzyme Application Portal - ASP.NET Web application portal (and page framework) that houses all intranet web applications and controls user access via NT role based authorization.
• Applications include Enterprise Search Engine, Document and Report Viewers, and other applications for administration and updating client, patient, and billing information. Most of these are very lightweight and were rapidly developed binding grids to datasets and using Table Module pattern for domain logic.
• Interactive Flow Reporting System - Batch reporting system that extracts raw data from Flow Cytometers, which is used to interpret data and generate patient reports. Windows Service loads raw data from a binary files, processes them into meaningful result data that gets passed to a transaction handler that stores them in SQL Server database for reporting and physician acceptance.
• GoldConnect - Internet web application which allows clients to view reports. HIPPA-compliant externally hosted web site. Makes .NET Remoting calls to internal application server that exposes a Façade. The singleton Façade provides Data Transfer Objects, and binary reports that are transferred, unpacked and displayed to the client.
• Impath Integration - Developed numerous ASP.NET web applications to support data migration, synchronization and assimilated business processes during the systems integration period. Used Enterprise Services to facilitate distributed transaction processing for Oracle and SQL server databases.
• DNA Sequencing - Enhanced existing systems to support rules-based reporting for DNA Sequence analysis. Workflow application provides interfaces for Result Entry, Director Review, Reporting, and Distribution. Reporting system analyzes DNA base pair sequences for deviations from the wild type that get prioritized and used by the Rules Engine to generate clinical interpretations. These applications were Windows Forms and use the architecture mentioned above.
