SUMMARY:

• I am a Software Architect with 22 years of professional development experience. I have programmed at all levels, from assembler to C#, from code monkey to analysis and design.
• In my last job, I took on more responsibility for the strategic tech direction of the development team. I focused on replacing an MVC site with Angular2/Typescript running against a Web API as well as analyzing and re - architecting the entire security model so it is “opt out” rather than “opt in”. I also worked closely with QA to make sure things were going as smoothly as constraints allowed.
• While I’m out of work, I’m studying Angular using Pluralsight tutorials.
• I have worked on several 3D frameworks using C++/DirectX over the past 20 years or so. I’m not sure if it’s a hobby or a hair shirt.
• I live in Tucson, AZ, but I am willing to relocate to the Phoenix area

CAREER EXPERIENCE:

Columbia, MD

.Net Web API Architect/Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Fei produces web - technology for the federal government to track grant proposals, execution and feedback.
• Web API I primarily worked on the API portion of the site which used .Net Web API, with an Angular front-end and NHibernate back-end.
• TDD the main focus of the work was Test Driven Development. I studied several books on the subject that brought together many ideas and gave me a fuller understanding of how to produce good tests and testable code.

Tucson, AZ

.Net MVC 4/Web API Architect/Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• LHD is a start - up in Tucson. I was the second developer hired and so my responsibilities were many and varied.
• Angular2/Typescript Began architecting replacement for MVC application so that all clients use the same API. This involved an Angular 2 front-end, with a WEB API back-end, using Azure Active Directory B2C for authentication and various services that worked together as a SOA authentication/ authorization, data lookups, imports and exports were all performed by separate services. This rewrite also included a security overhaul to overcome some of the MVC/API weaknesses; junior developers often forgot to add security attributes to HTTP end-points and left holes in the security model. I fixed this by creating a custom, low-level filter that performed security checks before any controller/action was invoked.
• MVC4 Application Helped architect and develop an n-tier web application. I did everything from writing javascript on the front end to constructing the database on the back end and everything in between. We made heavy use of solution packages such as Entity Framework, Ninject, NUnit, etc.
• Web API Application Architected and developed API for iOS clients. Used Thinktecture s Identity Server for OAuth/OpenId implementation.
• Agile Methodology We followed the agile methodology with daily scrums and fortnightly iterations. At the end of each iteration we had a retrospective and review. This begins with each team member showing how the application is different after this iteration and ends with a review. During this review, we talked about things we did well and things we could do better.
• Continuous Deployment We spent considerable effort setting up TeamCity and Octopus Deploy to automatically compile and deploy code to various environments and then run unit tests and report the results. The time taken to set this up payed for itself almost immediately as we could deploy to any environment with the push of a button.
• Operations Support I set up various cloud servers to host different aspects of the company s efforts.
• Security I became Chief of Security as we progressed and set up external audits from two separate companies. One performed a static analysis of the code and servers and the second, much more important one, was a dynamic analysis performed by a team of hackers whose job it was to try to steal data. I also coordinated efforts internally to keep everyone thinking about security as they coded. I recently helped set up a HIPPA team and continued to work on our security efforts.
• Automated Testing I used PowerShell to produce a script which crawls the code-base looking for web end-points. This script then produces C# code from templates that automatically tests these end-points from a security perspective. This script was integrated into our continuous deployment process and is automatically run every night.
• UI Testing I wrote C# tests that utilized Selenium to test the application from the front-end. After I got these started I then taught the test team how to write their own tests using the framework I had put in place. These tests were also integrated into our continuous deployment process.
• UWP I recently started writing a UWP program for the Windows Phone in preparation for expanding our mobile offerings. Unfortunately, Microsoft dropped support for Windows Phone so this was a wasted effort.

Responsibilities:

• When I was in New Zealand I worked as a contractor for various companies in America.
• MVC4 Application I have helped to produce a web - based application that used a lot of javascript for the front end. During this project, I learned lots about JS and JQuery as well as an MVVM front-end framework called Knockout.
• MVC4 Application I created an application using MVC4 and the entity framework. Again, I got to learn more javascript/jQuery for the UI.

The web part allowed users to view a chatter feed and make comments, upload photos, create polls etc.
• SharePoint 2010 Intranet Worked at the Home Depot corporate office to produce a web site that allowed contractors to interact with Home Depot. This included custom layouts, web parts and services. I got my first experience with Claims Base Authentication. I also worked with Coca Cola Enterprises to produce their corporate intranet.

Used: C#/SharePoint 2010, Jquery/javascript

.Net Architect/SharePoint 2007/2010 Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Over the past few years I have picked up several side projects. These were all end - to-end solutions involving requirements gathering, producing project plans, developing and testing.
• S harePoint 2007 201 0 Migrations These ranged from simple in-place upgrades to full migrations between farms. The migrations involved writing custom WCF porting utilities to re-structure site topologies as well as re-writing custom code and workflows to operate in the 2010 environment. During this time, I became familiar with the new 2010 features such as term sets, farm-wide content types, site-level workflows, etc.
• Used: C#/SharePoint 2010/WWF 4
• Silverlight/SharePoint 2010 Application I created a vacation scheduling application in Silverlight. This application contained several web parts that were hosted in SharePoint 2010. The data was stored in custom lists within SharePoint and presented to users through a rich UI. I gained valuable experience with the new 2010 client object model by implementing an asynchronous data-layer.

Used: C#/Silverlight/ Agile design principles using the MVVM pattern.

.Net Architect/SharePoint 2007 Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• At Confidential I was tasked with bringing order to chaos. Like many companies that had started to use SharePoint, they had done so in a haphazard, chaotic manner. Every solution they had thrown together was coming apart at the seams and they needed advice on how to get to grips with all the moving parts.
• I did this in three stages:
• Put out fires
• Stabilize environment
• Design solutions for pressing business needs
• The first stage involved fixing broken functionality as quickly as possible. I worked with IT and users to identify the biggest pain points and developed short - term fixes.
• The second stage involved working closely with IT to create a new SharePoint farm and migrate needed content while leaving behind all the broken bits.
• The third, and longest, stage was developing solutions for business needs in a way that would move them forward without leading them back to the uncontrolled, chaotic environment they had created when I was engaged. I created a set of governance guidelines and then implemented a series of custom code modules that allowed them to track projects, users and documents. My intent was to give them as much control as they needed to get their jobs done without giving them full access to all of SharePoint s features.
• A major pattern that I developed and then spread to all departments was the notion of a Site Directory that controlled creation/customization of sub-sites. Each department was given its own Site Collection with a Directory on the home page. This directory allowed users to browse projects and the sub-sites for these projects. Authorized users could create new projects and sub-sites.
• Common business data was stored in SQL and updated using InfoPath forms. This pattern was so successful that it is now being repeated across the corporation.

Used: C# .Net 3.5, SharePoint 2007, SQL Server, InfoPath, Access 2007
