SUMMARY:

• Diverse requirements have included military manpower policy, optimizing healthcare for chronic diseases, and customizing technology solutions for law firms and financial institutions.
• Effectively worked with end - users to maximize value or at a minimum, to optimize trade-offs in the face of binding constraints.
• Although a full-stack developer for multiple stacks, since the popular WebAPI paradigm has effectively decoupled browser-side and server-side concerns, browser-side technologies have become a primary focus since they seem to offer fewer obstacles to improving system effectiveness.
• Development experience ranges from single developer/full life cycle assignments to agile team environments with the goal of writing well-designed, testable and tested code.
• While that goal was sometimes adapted to fit customer priorities, the goal of minimizing the system’s ongoing O&M costs inspired by an Operations Research background anticipated the emerging DevOps paradigm.
• Maintain private VM networks to evaluate emerging and improving technologies, participate in local user groups, and maintain a subscription to the Pluralsight online training resource to develop and maintain necessary competences.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Full Stack Developer

Confidential, Alexandria, VA

• Subcontracted to SAIC’s US Patent and Trademark Office Patent End-to-End (PE2E) user interface modernization project.
• An agile development project, PE2E integrates user-oriented tools to help examiners act on patent applications more effectively and efficiently using flexible, scalable technologies.
• Developed features for the recently released docket and application viewer (DAV), which replaces the electronic data application navigator (eDan), the Patent Examiner Corps former legacy case management system.
• Presently working on some Shine internal projects leveraging node.js, PHP and WordPress.

Confidential, DC Metro Area

• While at Cooley, the state of the art of commercial computing began to appear increasingly obsoleted by the rise of intrinsically asynchronous, cross-platform approaches typified by node.js and its MEAN stack.
• Tellingly, Microsoft’s recent announcement of MVC6, which looks much more like node.c# than it does anything previously marketed as “MVC”, appears to reflect a retreat from the past and present they have been so instrumental in creating.
• The irresistible superiority of lean asynchronous servers created yet another personal technical retooling requirement.
• Meeting that requirement involved pursuing a series of short-term assignments and personal projects briefly summarized in the remainder of this section.
• Commercial clients included IBM and Fortigent/LPL Financial.
• Recently developed proof of concept demonstrating the technical viability of ES-6, Koa, io.js, and Angular for a server-side WebAPI coupled with Angular in the browser.
• Thanks to Google’s commitment to supporting ES-6 in their V8 JavaScript interpreter and an energetic open-source community, tomorrow’s node.js works quite reliably today.
• Contracted as a tech lead to help IBM modernize the technology base of their long-running “GoArmyEd” project. Solely responsible for developing an MVC5 WebAPI 2 application for an important new user interface.
• This 10-month assignment had the effect of advancing the base technology level of the project roughly 10 years while providing interoperability with the existing code base.
• This grueling, but highly satisfying, effort produced both state of the art software and a more capable project staff for IBM.
• Technically, this C# project involved an upgrade to MVC5 and the Oracle ODAC 12 library for .NET. The WebAPI was developed using Oracle 11.g and Microsoft Visual Studio 2014 with the Resharper plugin from JetBrains.
