• Established, implemented, and documented project - wide strategies for managing branches and merges in the subversion repository, allowing for concurrent escalation, iteration, and research & development work to proceed without impacting the various time sensitive deliverable milestones.
• Built, configured, and managed a small cluster of linux glassfish servers to replicate the production environment for testing purposes. Used the test cluster to troubleshoot a configuration issue preventing some EJB mechanisms from functioning properly in the production cluster environment.

Lead UI Engineer

Confidential, Portland, Or

• Designed and implemented framework for RIA client in flex to communicate with a J2EE back end running on Websphere Application Server (Java 6 / EE5). Coordinated team focus on separation of concerns (keeping client thin where appropriate) and optimization of processor/network intensive functionality.
• Coordinated adoption of branching scheme to keep iteration work isolated. Built framework for unified client/server build using apache ant. Devised tagging scheme to streamline branch/trunk merges in CVS to keep code sandboxes clean and maintainable.
• Met regularly with business interests to gather deeper requirements details, and conducted regular feature demonstrations to gather feedback and consider changing expectations as the product evolved through the agile/iterative process.

• Produced graphical collateral in the form of icons, color treatments, and help screen stubs, to improve the user experience.

Software Engineer

Confidential

• Designed and implemented an Java 5/EE5 based Master Data Manager (MDM) solution using agile (scrum) development cycles. Primary focus on importing data, via web services, from a variety of incomplete databases and providing a central repository for reconciliation, reporting, and export to downstream systems, via HL7 and file output. UI was designed leveraging XML, Struts, Tiles, CSS, and Javascript to allow for easy support, enhancement and to provide a pleasing experience for the end user.
• Using Oracle 10g jvm, PL/SQL, CDC and DCN technologies, crafted a real time conduit for replicating data from a legacy application database to the Choreo data repository, allowing Regence to maintain established processes. The conduit published data to a JMS Queue for other products (including Choreo deployed on Websphere 5.x) to consume the information as well.
• Designed and implemented a scriptable installation harness to automate the setup and tear down of the Regence conduit, enhancing testing and installation of the product by non - developers.
• Produced SCM intranet allowing build systems to publish results and metrics automatically with each build. Also, authored support PERL and Ruby scripts that generated CVS reports, detailing add/update/removal/merge changes between branches and trunk development.
• Performance analysis on various builds including metric gathering via JProfiler to isolate problem areas in the product. Regular reports published offering detailed measurements of object allocation, memory usage, processing throughput bottlenecks, etc.
