Computer Scientist

Responsibilities:

• Used component diagrams and class diagrams to translate numbered requirements into Booch OOD artifacts.
• Expanded my knowledge of architecting principles by receiving training in architecture best practices, which enabled me to provide are more efficient and stable architecture for the system, identify and create more cohesive system components, and productivity increase of 35%.
• Managed the projects complexities of migrating from an old system to a new system by providing on-going support for users of the old ALLCOM system by providing a seamless Interface from the old to the new. Convinced project management team that by eliminating X.25 links and using email a savings of $36K per year can be realized.
• Provided feasibility studies, wrote proposals, and provided cost analysis for new projects.
• The project management team used this information to decide if new projects should be accepted, to allocate resources or price new projects.
• Provided training to development team members. Designed and delivered OOA/D methodology training to developers and project managers. Facilitated courses on bridging the gap between C, C++, and Java for developers who knew C but not C++ or Java, which enabled them to understand and implement programs in C++ and Java and contribute to the success of the project. Additionally, OOA/D training enabled team members to understand the artifacts, which are used in OOA/D methodologies.
• Architect, developed, and implemented a client/server software package to access and transport billing data. We used OOA/D methodologies Visio Professional 2000 for the modeling tool. Used C++ to implement the server side software on a HP-UX 11.0 system and to create a wrapper library for the Sybase Open client API, which provided an object based mechanism to access the database and decreased the overhead for other developers to learn the Sybase API.

Senior Member of Technical Staff

Responsibilities:

• Expanded my knowledge of distributed objects by receiving training in Iona Orbix + CORBA and Iona Orbix Web applications. Used training to create IDL mappings for C++ and Java, which allowed me to design and implement a more efficient and portable system.
• Managed client/server development team. Directed and participated in design process and developed the project schedule. We used Visio 2000 to create class diagrams and other artifacts, to model the application using Booch’s method. Instructed team members in object oriented design (OOD) principles, writing efficient UNIX shell scripts and C++ software, and mentored new members who joined the development team, which reduced development time by 30%.
• Designed and implemented a reliable database infrastructure. Configured and installed Sybase ASE in the production and development environments, used underlying operating system utilities to mirror the database storage areas, and consolidated databases with similar tables into a single database, reducing the overall complexity of the databases, which resulted in a 35% decrease transactions processing time.
• Designed and developed a client/server package to correct rejected billing messages. We used OOD techniques to implement the high-level design specifications. We implemented the server software using C++ and Java on a HP-UX system, while the client software was implemented using C++ and MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) and Java Swing on a Microsoft Windows system. Used connect direct C API to create a program used by the server software to transfer the corrected data from the server database to the mainframe, where the billing messages were processed. Software package accounted for an increase of total revenue by $0.5M, and increase to 45% in billing processing staff productivity.
• Provided system administrator services for IMPS communications servers. Designed the layout of the servers files systems, designed and implemented the software and database backup strategies, scheduled weekly server reboots, updated operating system and application software, assigned new users accounts, and documented the methods and procedures. Server availability was increased by 98%, headcount required to maintain servers decreased by 66%.
