• Worked as the lead developer for a team that created LearningPoint Navigator © - An online formative educational learning software system that utilizes client state educational standard to periodically assess students and allows teachers and administrators to create testing content and assign it to students, who in turn can take the tests in a low-stakes environment, such as at home. LearningPoint Navigator was part of a larger suite of educational software offered by AIR that includes high-stake end of year testing solutions and reporting solutions. Navigator was in use in four different states.
• The Navigator team was originally just me, but grew in size to as many as six developers at one point.
• Navigator was a highly-configurable multi-client website that would have different appearances and some functional differences from client to client. I designed most of the architecture that enabled this level of customization.
• Worked as a member of the SCRUM development team, participating in all meetings and delivering code in two week sprints that maximized value and quality.
• Created restful backend services for Navigator that would take JSON inputs, query the SQL Server DB and return JSON back to the JQuery layer using AJAX
• Created the DBs, schemas, tables, stored procedures and functions for Navigator and optimized them for performance.
• Created an internationalization system utilizing jQuery and XML to dynamically replace the static text in the site according to the user’s client and language. One benefit for this system was that the original source code of the pages has the default text, rather than a numerical code present, which makes editing the code much easier.
• Wrote automated unit tests for the service and repository layers that utilized NUnit.
• Wrote the integration pieces with AIR’s user management systems: Initially an in-house system called CLS and later an open system called OpenAM.
• Created import and export modules for QTI standards-compliant test content, which allowed states to share content with other standards-compliant testing and content creation systems.
• Served as point-of-content on Navigator deployments and frequently personally deployed the code.
