Technical Lead (Contract)

Responsibilities:

• Originally brought on as a Java Developer with no formal experience. Easily applied Design Patterns, Object Oriented Development using experience from Flex AS3 development.
• Within 3 months, assigned as a Technical Lead for a project with Direct TV and assigned 6 developers from Bangalore India.
• The Direct TV project was riddled with problems from the very beginning. The Solutions Architect was inexperienced and was replaced within 3 weeks. I and my developers were on the clock with no High-Level Design or Use Cases, much less Test Cases so I implemented a non-standard agile/scrum for my dev team. Due to the fact Confidential usually follows a waterfall model it took a bit of creative thinking to help the 2 styles work in synergy barring the Project Manager and Solutions Architect’s styles stayed silo’d away from the developers. (eg: PM and SA not tasking developers)
• Started with a 1 month deficit and ended with a 2-week surplus. Touted so much by the PM, which I lost 5 out of 6 developers early to a project for Verizon.
• Maintained constant supervision and communication with the developers within their time zone, working from 3 am to 12pm as needed to keep the project on schedule and maintain communication open with the PM as well as the SA.
• Reviewed code daily from the developers, explaining how to avoid common industry traps, avoiding commons libraries of dependency hell, avoiding procedural code of 900 line methods (yes really), communicating to the PM the developers who are money sinks.
• Daily status reports to the PM, Low Level Design Documents in Visio, Collaboration with the Solutions Architect to tackle problems, Administrating SuSE systems and troubleshooting QA requirements for test cases.
• Redistributed the tasks of developers based off stories (agile) of use cases and moved developers around accordingly to fit the PM’s schedule.
• Became a success story of Confidential . A model that I was asked to do a lunch and learn session about and how to delegate upper-management reports with low level mentoring.

Confidential

Sr. UI Developer

Responsibilities:

• Architected, Designed, Developed (Flex 3.4), and Illustrated the Concurrent Video on Demand web application. The program’s purpose was to allow streaming media played and resumed from multiple devices while logging the habits of the viewer. This allowed the user to play content with a 3-screen solution, via mobile, pc, and the set top box. Content could be paused, resumed, purchased, or rented while featuring targeted ads based on their profile.
• The Concurrent Video on Demand application was later expanded upon using mobile technology to upload user content via the iPhone, Android Device, or Computer and hosted through the cloud. This allowed anyone and their friends to upload content, send a notification via a buddy system, and the ability to pause and resume using the set top box, pc, or mobile device. Having a 3-week deadline, I developed my first android and iPhone applications to interface with the JavaScript / Flex app. This project received huge press release and earned Concurrent Top 10 Innovative Company of 2011.
• Developed an ADI package parser component and the upload component with C++ commonly used by the video on demand industry that would ingest metadata, content, and various descriptions of each file.
• Managed, mentored, wireframed, and debugged code from the interns of Georgia Tech on a Cox My Primetime demo. This demo was an extension of the Video on Demand web application without some of the back-office logging features. I was not involved in the preliminary requirements; however, they were falling behind and management brought me in to get things back on schedule. Starting from a 3-week deficit, I managed to get it out the door on time with all the features product requested.
• Familiarity with Microsoft’s media room ADK and C# during some investigative skunk-work of AT&T’s new VOIP system interfacing with Concurrent’s existing system.

Flex Developer (Contract)

Responsibilities:

• During the time at Confidential I developed the Confidential Law (BLAW) application to assist lawyers with legal issues plaguing the financial sector. This handy tool created is touted as the Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis killer. It is a legal, regulatory, and compliance research platform, offering a suite of news, data and analytics to the legal and compliance community.
• Having decided to expand my horizons and work for one of the most prestigious firms around during the recession, a 4 hour interview ensued with 14 developers, 2 managers, and an HR head check. I was brought on out of hundreds that failed within 20 minutes. Unfortunately, there were too many issues with the application to be proud of. It took 23 minutes to compile the application just to make a change and it took a gig of memory to run (with garbage collection on) and it still leaked.
