WORK HISTORY:

Confidential

Senior Application Developer

Responsibilities:

• mentored other developers and communicated design and implementation approaches for customer requirements.
• As lead developer, developed white papers and communicated status to both the customer and the company.
• Overall turned a failing contract into a successful option year and got the development team moving.

Technologies used: Java 8, Code Signing, Crystal Reports, Cold Fusion, Oracle 13, SAP eBusiness Suite, Microsoft Windows 10.

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• The position was initially to support the company's full stack back end in preparation for a potential sale.
• I debugged and added new features to a Java-based, AWS-deployed back-end servers/MySQL/Aurora/Lambda MonogoDB, Linux, Node.js, UDP, etc., added customer new features and supported changes to a Javascript/Bootstrap/JQuery/AngularJS/JSON front-end in anticipation of finding a buyer for this area of business.
• With very little oversight, I designed and implemented process improvements including a Jenkins-based build server and a Nagios-based services/host monitoring system and integrated them together to form the core of the company's continuous integration system with automated testing (including a test website built with AngularJS/JSON/JQuery/Bootstrap/Javascript for use with Selenium) using mocking with Mockito (unit level tests) and API services (for integration tests).
• I also developed the company's parsing code into a standalone libraries (Java, C++, Node.js, Python, Scala, and C#) that the company OEM customers could use directly thereby increasing the sales of the hardware flagship products .
• I then participated in the technical presentations (where the systems I helped put in place were some of the key features the buyer was looking for) during the disclosure audit.
• Architected the Fj3000 product integration with SafetyDirect, production systems, and message transport systems including coding standards, object architecture, open source usage, and high level design using C++, C, and Java.
• Developed the RS-232 communications protocol between a third party camera and our device servers with data integrity checking and transformation to TCP REST calls. Developed the device firmware to communicate through cell modem stack to transmit message data and receive and install firmware over the air.
• I developed new firmware features onto their STM32-based product lines.
• These features included GPS tracking, VCM/ECU interfacing, design and implementation of a flexible messaging format designed to reduce the non-recurring engineering costs from customer requirements to production, and the back-end changes to handle the new protocols.
• Built the continuous integration/continuous development system for the firmware development team.
• This utilizes Jenkins and Bitbucket/Git for build control and automatic deployment with Nagios as the services monitor.
• Developed a manufacturing system to replace one which the production floor used to upgrade and verify product—which reduced manufacturing time from over an hour per device to an average of 8 minutes.
• This system utilized a Java swing desktop app communicating to a Spring/REST/Aurora server with an AngularJS/Bootstrap monitoring and reporting interface.

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Developed an autonomous hexapod robot using standard Android-based hardware as part of a small business independent research (SBIR) contract.
• The robot can self-navigate over moderate terrain to a given geographic location, take pictures of the given target, and return to the point of origin.
• It is able to communicate over a relatively secure wireless network for manual command and control.

Technologies used: for on-platform computing Android Studio, Android Nougat, Java 1.7, SQLite, Google Cloud Messaging, OpenVPN, JNI, Google Location Services, Jackson, REST, JSON, Google Maps, Caliko reverse kinematics library.

Server technologies used: Eclipse IDE, Linux Ubuntu, Java 1.8, Spring Boot 4.3.12, Hibernate/JPA with a MySQL database, Jackson, REST, JSON, Maven, Apache2, Tomcat, Google Maps. The project was managed using Git and JIRA utilizing a Scrum-Agile methodology.

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Instrumental in developing the mobile apps and backend for Confidential, ItsLightsOut, and OurPact application for managing children chores and screen times.
• The back end was developed in Java and Spring with a MongoDB database. T he VPN software was developed using Android NDK and Node.js (for the backend).
• The hosting of the platform was on AWS EC2 instances.
• Project management was done with JIRA.

Confidential

Linux Administrator

Responsibilities:

• I provided the server development, Android/IOS MVP implementations, and directed and contributed to the development of the web application. The web application allows users to create their own quizzes that they publish to the application. This project is In Alpha test, and is expected to be released in 2018.
• Technologies used for mobile applications: Android SDK 18/Java 1.7 using Studio, IOS Swift 4 using XCode, Accelerometer libraries, geolocation services, SQLite, REST. Server technologies used: Linux Redhat Enterprise, Java 1.8. Spring Framework 4.3.12, Spring Boot 1.5.9, Spring MVC, Spring Security, Jongo with a MongoDB database, Apache2, Tomcat, Jetty, Jackson, REST, JSON, Maven, Jenkins, Junit testing.
• Web Application technologies used: Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS, JQuery, Javascript, AJAX, REST, AWS with AWS load balancing.
• The team ticket management and sprint assignments were handled using JIRA.

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• The company eventually became OurPact which is one of the most popular IOS child management applications on the Appstore.
• Utilized a variety of mostly AWS-based services to create scalable systems:
• Cassandra, Hadoop, MongoDB, Java, PHP, Linux, Javascript, Node.js, Google Analytics, Swift, Android, etc.
• Consulted to non-government charity organization based in Hyderabad, India to develop a STEM curriculum whose goal is to teach orphans how to design and develop mobile applications for IOS and Android.
• The contribution included a proof-of-concept IOS application implementing an IOS Swift interpretation of games found in the 1976 best seller Basic Computer Games, by David Ahl.
• The proof-of-concept and template was coded using Swift 4 and includes an implementation of In-App Purchase (IAP) for taking contributions.
• This was probably the simplest app I've written in 2017 (it was less than a 3 day effort), but one I am probably most proud of.
• Created my own online photo album to share family pictures in a secure environment. It uses 128 bit session cookies for client identification, automatically downscales uploaded pictures for network friendliness, and implements widgets like scrollbars, Google maps, picture sliders, etc. for user experience friendliness.
• The server can automatically punch a hole through uPNP-supported routers to provide access to internet users.
• There is an IOS Share Extension I wrote that allows uploading of images taken with user IOS device to the album server.
• Uploads can be taken directly from DSLR cameras over FTP on a WiFi Hotspot.
• There is also a background app that takes image events and can automatically synchronize the local images with the album. I think my intent, if my family really likes it, is to make it a Kickstarter project along the lines of a "Diaspora that works."

Technologies used: webapp: Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, AJAX, and LightSlider. The server is hosted on Linux Ubuntu, with Apache2, AJP, Tomcat, Hibernate, JPA. Drew EXIF libraries, and MySQL. IOS Client development: Swift 4/XCode and SQLite.
