Senior Developer

Responsibilities:

• Co-architect of a WinForms based GUI framework using ribbon technology from Developers Express (as used in Office 2007) which formed the basis for conversion of the companies 14 existing Java applications into .NET using C#. An extensive set of services such as data, logging, security, configuration, email, licensing, preference and validation were utilized by a custom application controller where developer-defined XML files controlled how the various services interacted with each other. A custom command mechanism was implemented providing complete separation of presentation from the actual execution of the action. XML files controlled the presentation/placement of the commands (ribbon, system and popup menus). An extensive use of interfaces as well as base classes were created which allowed a complete application to be created in a matter of minutes by simple sub-classing and set up of XML files. An extensive array of both Windows components and controls were created which encapsulated the data services for automatic loading/selecting. Custom datasets were used to transfer data between the presentation layer and the various data services and contained a data rule engine as defined by XML to ensure data integrity/validation prior to loading and saving data. All application specific modules implemented public interfaces which allowed simple directory drop-in of the DLL and the application would automatically register the new module along with the associated user configuration screens.

Senior Developer

Responsibilities:

• Member of a two person team tasked with designing a new middle - tier and GUI presentation framework written in Delphi v4 which required data store independence for the next generation energy trading system. This system made extensive use of OOP techniques to create a custom data layer which used custom serialized data objects transferred via MSMQ between the client and server. This mechanism ensured continued client data entry operations should the network connection become disconnected. These custom data objects stored both data and commands for interacting with the configured data store (via custom data adapters) as well as providing the necessary transaction protection. In addition to database independence, scalability was enhanced by using a custom multi-threaded process controller which managed the interaction with not only the user inI don t have any of thatterface but the transport layer as well. OOP was also extensively utilized in the GUI presentation framework for the various custom form classes and custom written controls.
