• Designed, developed and deployed a highly scalable SQL Azure database using T-SQL stored procedures and views.
• Designed and developed C# / ADO.Net repositories accessing the Azure hosted stored procedures/views. The repositories are designed using generic access methods to centralize all of the core critical database operations, IE, open/close, etc. Retries were accomplished using the Enterprise Pattern and Practices Team Retry framework.
• Designed and developed numerous ASP.Net Web API Rest data services, performing all CRUD operations. All database functionality is exposed through these services
• Created an Infinite scrolling grid using Ajax and C# code behind web methods to serve up a new page of data based on a scroll click event. When the grid scroll area is clicked, another page is fetched from the database via an AJAX call initiated from the client HTML.
• Initiated the use of HTML 5 Local Storage to store client specific data to the users browser, saving server round trips and implicitly securing the data within the users own environment.
• Designed and developed Azure Cache data repositories, which was used to house multi-tenant user data (for a finite time frame) in addition to static (lookup) data. Invalidating lookup data to avoid stale was designed.

Senior .Net Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Designed and developed an enterprise C# /ASP.Net 2.0 / Ajax.Net User Management Approval system using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Confidential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow (WF) were the subsystems that provide the physical architecture for the application. This allows potential users to first be invited and then authorized by one or more configured approvers. The application may be used for several disparate requirements by potential users who are invited. They need to submit their access requests online based on the invitation email. Once an approval, denial, or timeout action transpires, a follow-up email is sent to the candidate. Since the time span between a candidate access request and an approver action is measured in days, the entire workflow process is persisted to an SQL Server database.
• This system helps shift the workload involved in creating and maintaining end users away from the Welfare to Work staff toward a few designated approvers. The user base consists of both state staff and county users within the Confidential .
• Launched preliminary design efforts for an SOA dashboard application. The design is based on the premise that a number of disparate data stores would be required to feed the dashboard. In light of the fact that this data was stored in Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 databases, a web services approach using the WS-Basic Profile was envisioned. This enables heterogeneous services to interact on a common level. Using this approach ensures Java services to effectively communicate with .Net services.
• Designed and developed a C# / ASP.Net 2.0 / Ajax.Net/SQL 2005 Emergency Food Bank Assistance web application which grants counties and Welfare to Work administrators the ability to monitor and report distributed commodities. Reporting is accomplished using the built-in ReportViewer control, which enables the client to avoid using third party reporting packages.
• This application provides Welfare to Work consultants the ability to manage a select group of county constituents, allowing them to enter and report on commodity distribution levels. The “four level” user base consists of food bank representatives within the 58 counties in California.
• Reworked the architecture on a C# / ASP.Net 2.0/ Ajax.Net / SQL Intentional Program Violator web application to integrate with federal data stores. It allows staff to load and send violator data to and from the federal data repository. In addition, it allows staff to interact with numerous associated modules including sending and retrieval of fraud data to other downstream systems. The “three level” user base consists of fraud staff representatives within the 58 counties in California.
• Designed and prototyped an ASP.Net 2.0 / C# Document Management system that allows users to upload / search for existing documents and store binary format files in SQL 2005.

Senior .Net Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Designed and developed components for an enterprise document handling system using Web Service Extensions 2.0 and SOAP. The components provide functionality to send and receive files via a web service. It also enables monitoring and striping of email attachments from a message and sending of files to a document handler.
• Designed and developed an ASP.Net 1.1 / VB.Net HTML template-driven wizard data collection utility. This application displays ASP.Net controls that are dynamically generated by HTML configuration files. The power of this design lies in the fact that new ASPX pages cannot be created by new HTML templates rather than separate ASPX pages. One set of code handles all input controls irrespective of the number of ASPX pages in the application. The user base consists of all employees within the Confidential .
• Performed ongoing maintenance and enhancement to an ASP.Net 1.1 / VB.Net web contracts system. In addition, made strong design recommendations on the latest Confidential technologies that might enhance the application and reduce maintenance effort.
