• Served as lead developer and working closely with the CEO, Vice President of Information Technology and Director of Technology to re-skin and re-engineer Personalized URL (PURL) micro sites for clients such as Gartner, SAS and Confidential Technology. The application was re-written from the ground up to be re-usable, scalable and dynamically skin-able using ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005. AJAX, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Flash are used to enhance the web front-end.
• Concluded push to the PURL 3.0 platform for all of our clients, a set of pervasive changes to both the UI and framework that facilitated quicker UI changes, implantation of dynamic database content and more robust Web 2.0 features.

Portions of code were translated and subsequently converted from C# to VB.
• Designed and developed the Q-Central Alerter site, using ASP.NET, as a way to allow administrators to poll the database for a selected client to see if they had received all of their intended user PURL activity email alerts. The application was designed around the Model-View-Controller Pattern and used extendable business objects to allow for the addition of new clients and custom email alerts without needing to change the existing code-base for each.
• Developed a COM ActiveX DLL to perform encryption and implemented in SQL Server using the OLE Automation procedures on SQL Server. This was new logic used primarily to encrypt database values exposed on the querystring of a PURL.

Software Development Consultant

Technologies Applied: HB B2B Web Portal, VS 2008, ASP.NET using VB, AJAX, AJAX Toolkit, JavaScript, SQL Server 2005

Responsibilities:

• Developing web portal in concert with Director of Technology and several business and sales people to interface with backend ERP system and allow clothing buyers for various licenses to enter clothing orders.
• The site is written in VB using VS2008, AJAX and some JavaScript. Web Portal-only data as well as read-only ERP data is stored in a SQL 2005 database instance which the web portal accesses.
• A scheduled console app (written as a VB console application) is called twice a day to import and export data between the web portal SQL database and the ERP system.
• Hired to guide client expectations, weekly status meetings, gather requirements, lead a team of front-end developers and re-design/re-factor the code for a major insurance broker’s web site.
• The site was initially written in C# using VS2008 and .NET Framework 3.5. To facilitate my development effort and to protect their data, the client has re-factored and compartmentalized its data model behind a WCF service which the application calls to interact with the company’s internal legacy systems.
• Currently I am working with CSS, HTML templates and images provided by the front-end team and re-skinning the website.
• In addition, I am leveraging the MVC design pattern to compartmentalize the front-end and data model for easy unit testing. I am using some of the original code, but for the most part writing new logic in VB using VS2010 web developer studio. The client provided its custom membership Oracle DB scripts in order for me to re-create, code and test against the actual data structures using mock data. Oracle 10G Express and TOAD were used to facilitate this endeavor and SVN was used for source control.
