• Architected rAgent Server as J2EE server application leveraging Sybase MobiLink, Spring, JAXB, JPA, and JMS to support synchronicity of tens of thousands of mobile clients simultaneously with persistence using Hibernate to SQL Anywhere. Application leverages proprietary ESB with configurability where each sync can auto-trigger an asynchronous notification via email/SMS/JMS to 3rd party applications and/or a database-to-database sync (SQL Anywhere to a 3rd party database) with XML-based table-to-table mapping; Architecture layers include: domain, persistence, service, presentation, utilities. Supports synchronizations with Windows Mobile, Android and iOS platforms.
• Architected rAgent Mobile to run on all Windows Mobile platforms using embedded database UltraLite with MobiLink for synchronization to rAgent Server. Architecture layers include: domain, hardware, persistence, service, presentation (MVC), utilities. Hardware abstraction layer (HAL) agnostically supports mobile devices featuring automatic identification technologies (AIT) including 1D/2D barcode, C1G2 RFID, C3 RFID, DASH7 RFID from various vendors. Small team of 1-2 people now capable on average of adding support for new device within days. Architecture repurpose-able to Android and iOS where supporting RFID readers via Bluetooth being researched and under proof-of-concept.

Hardware abstraction layer (HAL) agnostically supports fixed RFID readers using ECPglobal (LLRP) and proprietary API’s. Small team of 1-2 people now capable on average of adding support for new device within days. Application leverages proprietary ESB with configurability where each read can be sent asynchronously via email/SMS/JMS to 3rd party applications. Created client web services jar bundling Java API’s and WSDL’s for simplifying integration of contract-first web services (i.e. Spring-WS).
• Re-architected rInsight as container-based (e.g. JBoss) J2EE server application (Spring, JAXB, JPA, JMS, Web Services, JSP, JSF) with persistence using Hibernate to SQL Anywhere; Architecture layers include: domain, persistence, service, presentation (MVC), utilities. Application leverages proprietary ESB with configurability where each read can be sent asynchronously via email/SMS/JMS to 3rd party applications. Added bi-directional communication via JMS between Flash clients and JSF framework enabling users to send commands and receive responses with automatic updates to screen (e.g. searching with live updating of RFID-tracked people and assets)
• Work closely with sales staff in support role as systems architect and primary proposal writer for largest national and international government, military and commercial opportunities including $100 million VA, $400 and $150 million KSA projects and numerous $20k to $150k projects. Interfaced directly in numerous demonstrations, requirements gathering and integration meetings with external key stakeholders (C-level, administrative, technical, security, users) about what the company software does, how it works and how it best integrates with their systems and often would need to instantly brainstorm options for changes to both systems that are quick, cost-effective and low-risk.
• Led in establishing and maintaining technology vendors and partners including Fortune 500 companies (Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, SAP/Sybase, Apple, Motorola, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics).
