I was originally hired as a full-stack developer on an existing Java and React application based primarily on the strength of my back-end Java Skills. I've had the opportunity to stretch myself a bit in this role, by volunteering to create a new React User Interface from scratch using ReactJS for a different project, a performance dashboard for our suppliers. It's been great to update my UI skills, and my contribution has been well received by our business partners.

Develop custom plugins and solutions in Java for Pentaho Data Integration (AKA Spoon / Kettle) and Pentaho Server.

As an Application Architect for TEKSystems sourced to an international financial institution, I am migrating an existing data warehouse from Oracle to an RDS database, writing data services and batch jobs in Scala.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Samba Safety, I am a full stack Java engineer working in a JBoss environment with a SQL Server back end. In addition to full stack development on our web application, California EVR (Electronic Vehicle Registration), I own and support our Registration Renewal API, a rest-like API allowing our customer to create renewal web sites .

As a Java developer on the Partner Services and Integration team, contributed new features and critical production fixes to a diverse portfolio of products and applications, including servlets exposing proprietary APIs, traditional WSDL-based Java services, and RESTful web services written in Java Spring and Jersey.A typical accomplishment was restoring two related automated jobs running as a client against a RESTful service. The jobs had been shut down for almost three years due to a combination of performance issues and obscure Hibernate failures. Once the Hibernate failures that prevented the job from running at all were corrected, I moved on to improve the performance of the second process by 1,250%.I worked on a variety of J2EE containers including Resin, Tomcat, and JBoss, in addition to the WSO2 ESB. Technologies included MySQL, DB2, and mainframe back ends, RESTful and traditional web services, Hibernate, Elasticsearch, Spring, Java Servlets. Tools included Maven, Jenkins, SoapUI, JUnit, Groovy. Platforms were Windows, RedHat, and Suse Linux.

When there's something strange, in your database driver, who ya gonna call? No, it's not Ghostbusters -- at Unify, that would be me! Java, C#, C / C++ -- it makes no difference what the language is, I'm your guy.Currently I am porting the client side of an ADO-like database proxy written using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) so that it can be accessed from applications written by our customers in Win32 using our development tool. This client proxies database requests to a backend standalone WCF server I wrote, as well as through an IIS WCF web service.I also developed (in C#) a new, fully managed ADO .NET data provider for our database product, which replaced a legacy hybrid driver consisting of a C# wrapper around our C API. In addition to being simpler, the new driver was a good example of Test Driven Development in NUnit, and as a result, in contrast to the old driver, which had a meager dozen or so unit tests driving it, our new driver sports close to 600 tests (and counting) which are run before each check-in and after each build.I also am the programmer charged with maintaining our "router" layer, which is actually a database API and a set of drivers targeting SQLBase, Oracle via native OCI, ODBC, OLEDB, native Sybase, native Informix, and others.

CodeSolid.com (formerly ParticleWave) delivers software engineering services on a contract basis. Our past projects have included:Vision Service Plan* Architected VSP's new Member Portal application.* Introduced JSP (Java Server Pages) into an existing Java project, training developers.* Implemented JUnit automated unit tests, automated installs, improved builds, and other "best practices" as needed.Dade Behring Microscan* Created a Delphi communication layer to send instrument data to a Pharmacy patient tracking system.fusionOne* Wrote a custom connector in Visual C++ based on the client's API between their synch engine and an Oracle database maintained by a third party (the client's customer).Camden Software* Wrote a prototype of a Java User Interface for an existing character based (Synergy DBL) application.Synergex International* Wrote an ActiveX container DLL and APIs for adding ActiveX support to a legacy business programming language (DBL), in MFC.* Wrote a set of printing classes providing print job persistence and print preview (Visual C++).

Software developer developing programming tools for the Synergy Programming Language (formerly DBL).

Delivered a variety of features for FedEx Ship (in Visual C++ 4.0), including classes for on-line registration, code and tools to facilitate modem detection on all Windows environments, a Universal Thunk subsystem for accessing 16-bit Windows Communications APIs from WIN32, and a variety of MFC UI features including custom controls, OLE drag and drop, and auto-lookup (in STL). On Apple's QuickTime for Windows, designed and implemented the self-extracting installation system written entirely in Visual C++ (MFC), consisting of an extensible installation program and a command line utility for binding the self-extracting files into the executable. Also assisted in the port of QuickTime for Windows, a mixed C and assembly product, to WIN32.

Provided support for designing, coding, and debugging of Windows applications using OWL II, OWL I, and "legacy" Windows API techniques as a Senior Engineer on the Windows / C++ advisor line. Also participated in the development of samples and tools for the Obex Enabling Kit and the Borland Database Engine.
