CAREER S UMMARY:

• Senior - level Hands-On Software Developer / Technical Lead / Solution Architect with an extensive background in application and web development and/or modification.
• Possesses a well-rounded developer background in the conception, design, development, and implementation of a full array of computer products and systems.
• A versatile communicator who has demonstrated excellent oral and written communication skills by delivering technical and business information to diverse audiences, from small senior management groups to large convention assemblies.
• Recognized for his ability to bridge the technical and business aspects of the organization as the technology changes and impacts core business values.
• And most importantly, a problem solver with the knowledge and experience to quickly solve problems and keep application development moving forward. Using static HTML, dynamic ASP.NET master pages, JSP/Java, Razor C#, and most recently, AngularJS, Bootstrap, node . js and Responsive Web Design using HTML5 and CSS3, I developed websites using each of those technologies/frameworks and have developed expertise on the complimentary tools used with each, like npm, bower, grunt, and gulp. This experience includes the use of multiple editors, IDEs, repositories,
• SQL back-ends, graphic design tools, compilers, syntax checkers, and automated testing tools.
• While working as the Lead Developer of a firm’s multi-client Java, JSP, and WebSphere-based web portal utilizing XML SOAP web services to acquire and update sensitive PHI data, I developed client-specific front-ends (the GUI) using cascading style sheets and HTML, custom back-end code for each client’s web portal and web services, providing unique graphics, color scheme, and functionality to each, while maintaining the same reusable base core system. This approach reduced the testing effort as well as the source code and change management processes which were maintained within a TFS platform.
• While working as the Technical Lead on a national firm’s software upgrade project, I designed and developed a process that would read the XML-based error logs generated from daily batch processes and generate meaningful and human-readable reports with a standard output so that the operational results of the old version of the application being upgraded could be compared with the new version of the application.
• The standardized output of each was further analyzed so that any differences in the two systems could be quickly identified. This tool saved hundreds of hours in test analysis and triage.
• While working as the Data Architect of an international firm’s computer software subsidiary, I analyzed the research data and then, using the ERwin data-modeling tool, created the data model for a multi-lingual, relational database for an internationally distributed software product. The design allowed each software program in the multi-program suite to run independently of one another or in conjunction with any one or all of the other programs and have its contents presented in English or one of seven foreign languages.

Web Designer & Developer

Responsibilities:

• As the owner of this website, I wanted to rewrite it utilizing the AngularJS framework, Bootstrap, HTML5, and CSS3, if for no other reason than to improve my skillset with this technology.
• The website also needed to work equally well on tablets and smartphones, just as it did on standard and extra-large desktops, so Bootstrap and CSS3 were employed for this purpose. Transitions and transformations were used to create the animation.
• The resulting website employs many of the base components within the Angular feature set as well as some additional plugins that extend that feature set. Filters, directives, controllers, and services from the base set of Angular components were utilized as well as a photo carousel and calendar from the Angular-UI library.
• In the development phase, I utilized Grunt and Gulp as task runners/managers during the development process so that whenever code was changed and saved, the website would be recompiled, redeployed, and redisplayed on multiple monitors and devices.
• Git was used as the source code repository for this website.
• The development environment included Windows 8.1 and 10 Workstations, Windows Server 2012, MS Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, NuGet, Web Matrix, MS Code, JSON, JavaScript, AngularJS 1.5.8, Bootstrap 3, HTML5, CSS3, LESS, Font-Awesome, Node, Bower, yeoman, Jasmine, and Karma.

Senior Developer

Responsibilities:

• Three separate C# applications were developed, each of which used a common function library.
• The three applications were 1) a Windows Service application, 2) a Web Service application, and 3) a Test Suite testing tool.
• The Windows service ran on a Facets Application Server and read the inbound queue of the IBM WebSphere MQ Server, performed some pre-processing edits, sent the transaction to the HIPAA Gateway Web Service, performed some post-processing edits on the response, and placed the edited response on the outbound queue.
• The web service application provided access for trading partners so that they could submit those same transaction types directly.
• The Test Suite testing tool allowed the QA tester to load and send specific transactions through the MQ Server, through the external Web Service, or through an internal direct connection and capture the resulting response transaction for compliance analysis.
• It also provided the ability to identify multiple transaction files to run through the system in mass, thus allowing easy regression and performance testing.
• The development environment included a Windows 7 Workstation, Windows Server 2012, IBM WebSphere MQ, MS Internet Information Server, MS Visual Studio, MS SQL Server 2012, a TFS repository, Facets Application Server, HIPAA Gateway Server, and connections to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association Servers.
