In Research and Advanced Development at Bose I build prototypes to prove out new technologies and resolve roadblocks before they become a problem for the development groups. I act as an evangelist for new ideas and build working experience prototypes to help demonstrate and inform product stakeholders. Over the years, I have built prototypes on Windows, OSX, iPhone/IOS, Android, Linux, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other embedded devices. These prototypes have been written in combinations of Java, JavaScript, Objective C, C, C#, C++, Python, and Flash. They utilized many different databases including MS-SQL, Oracle, SQLite, MySQL and IOS Core Data Services. I also co-authored a technical analysis and business plan for a project that had a company-wide impact. Several of my projects were successfully transitioned into production. My responsibilities in this group include:• Work with exploration teams to organize and structure their processes. Guide them in structuring output and help them achieve clarity and direction with the goal of creating back-logs which are used to define work requirements.• Architectural design and breakdown for applications and prototype building. • Participate in the building of prototypes, specializing in building back-end infrastructures, frameworks, and functional modules. Back-end infrastructures include diverse combinations of inter-process and inter-machine communications.• Act as Scrum Master for build teams. Responsible for most of the detailed project planning and task breakdown for scrum planning. Leading groups of 2-7 people on projects.• Function as a go-to resource for anything relating to Music Metadata, Music Retrieval, Databases, Windows, Machine Virtualization, Web Services, and other technologies.• Assisting the production test group in developing test strategies and processes for QA.• Work with multiple groups in the company to get them started with Enterprise iPhone development and application distribution.

• Reported to President of AMG. Recruited and developed staff of 10 programmers, 2 technicians, and 1 project manager.• Created and implemented sound sampling processes from concept to functional product in less than 6 months using comparatively low-cost, easily replaceable technology. Systems built to produce both Windows Media and RealAudio sound samples.• Designed and oversaw implementation of processes for managing and storing large collections of music product (300,000+ CDs) and processes for managing the sound sampling, on-line digital archiving, and other data elements from this collection.• Developed storage solutions for the management of multi-terabyte collections of sound data.• Responsible for all aspects of data structures and management processes for multi-million record databases.• Constructed image file scanning and storage management systems.• Developed multi-location image serving infrastructure.• Created integration and linking tools for reliably connecting disparate metadata collections.• Built multi-location, high performance web audio serving network infrastructure, including server design and customer publication implementation.• Oversaw the development of web-based management of remote author submission systems, software and processes to handle over 900 off-site writers.

Designed and built the infrastructure, applications and tools used for data entry, data processing, editing, and publication. Responsible for functional design of both processes & applications and personally coded majority of the systems.• Designed algorithms for creating representative sound samples from raw audio files.• Built custom data publication systems to interface with many other types of publications, including book and CD-ROM production houses.• Created robust text matching algorithms.• Designed and coded web applications infrastructure and all back end software used for the award winning All Media Guide web sites. The utilization of it saved the company over $1,000,000 in hardware and software expenses. AllMusic.com alone handled more than 3 Million hits a day with a single server in 1998. This infrastructure remained in place until 2013 when the websites were sold to a new company.• Designed and coded page generation engine for AllMovie.com and many parts of AllMusic.com engine.
