OBJECTIVE:

I would like to be in a software engineering position that provides an opportunity to design and develop software systems using a high level language such as Java. I want to find an opportunity to use my previously attained technical skills to produce well built, well tested, robust and user friendly high end products. I want to be challenged and be given the chance to learn new skills to add to my toolkit. I also want to be in a position to mentor, perhaps lead other developers and be more involved in design decisions at this stage of my career.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Have a well balanced experience working both on thick clients, thin clients and server side. Development using J2EE/Java, Spring and Hibernate. Desktop development and GUI work with SWT/Swing as well as old school Windows API programming through C++/MFC. I wear multiple hats essentially. I can do front end (thick/thin), mid tier, back end, database and break down a task from story to design to code to test to deploy. You name it I can do it. And if I don\'t know it I\'m going to be online late nights learning as much as I can. You don\'t earn respect of other programmers by being in the dark. You have to proof your worth and I love this side of programming.

I also have multiple years of experience developing and coding for eclipse platform (RCP, plugins and straight SWT). Strong knowledge of user interfaces and UI design.

Worked with multiple open source tools and familiar with many different application servers.

Experienced in many different techniques such as write test then code (TDD), DAO development, Service/Manager, Singleton, Factory and other design patterns.

Have experienced working in many different industries ranging from credit card processing hardware, healthcare, mortgage industry, configuration management tools, collections/debt recovery and email mass marketing.

Have experience working with teams of varying sizes.

Have worked with older waterfall life cycle to Agile methodology.

Strong academic background in software analysis and programming backed by 10+ years of professional work.

Proficient at analyzing and solving complex problems.

Ability to multi - task and work effectively, strong team player.

Adaptive, can quickly learn and integrate new computer systems and languages.

No ego I simply love to code. Geek at heart and loving what I do day in day out. I picked the right field and knew it even when I was in junior high school and booted my first Apple IIe.

Confidential, Fairfax, VA

Software Engineer (Telecommute Contract) - GUI design and code for Titanium ORE product line. Working in a small team of 3 other ui developers and roughly 30 midtier and backend developers. My responsibilities were close to 85% front end development for the major components of the gui (dialogs, wizards and the main windows) and 15% midtier related. The work is done using SWT/Eclipse RCP and plugins platform. I relocated 6 months on site to work with client in Fairfax Virginia and 1.5 years remote work from home. Mainly extending and modifying as well as creating numerous custom windows, dialogs, and wizards to produce a rich and user friendly UI. All GUI related code and design done by hand and not using a GUI editor. Using abstract classes and component separation to minimize code duplication and build neat and clean compact viewers and controllers. The GUI components communicate with a mid tier composed of Spring beans, service layers/managers and hibernate DAO and DTO to store and retrieve data for the user. Wrote numerous ServiceFactory objects to allow the front end to easily access the managers and dao in middle and back end. The SWT widgets and all the workbench classes are designed to be run as a thick client and can also be deployed inside a web browser using Java webstart. The application communicates with a JBoss server for remote service calls through http-invoker technique. The database is managed by SQL server. Used JBoss IDE (plugin) within Eclipse to develop and deploy code efficiently. Used DBUnit for data population into the local test environment and ant scripts to automate populating database, building config files such as spring bean definitions and quatz scheduler definitions as well as packaging and deploying all the required libraries to be run inside JBoss. Used other open source tools such as TortoiseSVN, CruiseControl, and Jira for daily development, bug tracking and code management. While I was on site I helped out a junior programmer with eclipse and general gui concepts so he could work on some of the minor UI bug fixes and pmrs.
