Provide architecture/technical leadership and guidance consistent with the USPTO Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) 4.0 methodology in the successful delivery of several major initiatives for the Patent Services Division of the USPTO. The project initiatives are aimed at providing enhanced tool portfolio to the patent core of examiners for use in the prosecution of patent applications and modernization of the technology infrastructure at the PTO.• Worked closely with the management team to develop strategic plans and executable technology roadmap to aid in the modernization of the technology infrastructure of the PTO.• Worked closely with the customer representatives to solicit and refine requirements.• Development of a SOA Reference Architecture and Technology Roadmap.• Development of architecture specification documents, use case models and design models for various efforts including the Document Management Improvement, Full Document Download, and America Invent Act project initiatives• Led the Design and Implementation effort for a Content Management System for the Patent Office. The CMS stores all patent application artifacts, interfacting with 15 Application Information Systems (AISs). The CMS supports tables with 45 billoin+ rows and response time in the order of 14 milliseconds.• Designed and guide the implementation of a conversion service that detect “boiler plate text” in free form text and transform it to an XML4IP representation. The detection algorithm uses a Pattern Matching technique that leverages Levenshtein Distance along with regular expression.• Designed and implemented core components for the Trademark Next Generation portfolio inclusive of the Synchronizer, the Persistence Layer, and the Comparator. The synchronizaer component supports transactional based synchronization between a Unisys Legacy mainframe and the new web-based system.

Work closely with the program team to define strategic goals and direction while provide technical and architectural oversight to the implementation and business architecture teams. Design and implemented a CXF-based Web Services Interceptor framework that injects JAX-WS security information to provide secured message level communication between web services providers and consumers.• Work with the business teams to develop strategy and overall policy for specific programs.• Provide architectural guidance to the implementation teams in the areas of service oriented architecture (SOA), Data Strategies, and Master Data Management.• Design and implemented a session based interceptor framework that injects WS-Security tokens into SOAP headers. Use Spring Framework to configure the web services and to access the CXF bus for attaching to the interceptor chains and injecting WS Security Username tokens, Binary Security token and SAML Assertions into the SOAP header via the interceptors.• Development of Analysis and Design Models for various services including the Availability and Accommodation services.• Design, implement, and deployment of proof-of-concept prototypes using Apache ServiceMix and Camel to perform message transformation, shaping and data injection. Mentored developers in Java programmers.

Perform full life-cycle design and development of distributed service-oriented software applications for the military and commercial industries using a RUP/XP hybrid methodology. Solicit requirements from clients and performed object-oriented analysis, modeling and design using UML to specify the artifacts.• Assembled and lead effective software engineering teams tasked with the development of various commercial applications.• A member of the PEG team that adapted and institutionalizes CMMI Level 3 practices into Riptide.• Development of project management plan, SOW, project schedules and performed projected management tasks.• Interacted with clients in support of requirement gathering and use case specification. Participated in JAD sessions and on specialized Integration Project Teams.• Development of architecture specifications, use case models and detailed design specifications consistent with RUP/XP methodology.• Design and development of web-based commerce application for the Walt Disney World company. Used Spring Framework with Tomcat and JBoss DROOLS as core technologies.• Design and development of a number of components on the Digital Range Training System projects using the CTIA architecture framework, to include interfacing of User Interface, After Action Review, Scenario Generation, and Exercise Control Software within the live training domain.• Development of software components and associated specification documents for deployment to the Live Training Transform (LT2) portal. Leverages components from the LT2 portal for building Digital Range Training system.• Use case driven analysis, design and development of inventory control systems for the hospitality industry. This work included the development of the use case model, domain object model, and business workflow. Performed requirements analysis and development of the requirement specification document along with business rules and story boards and the architecture specification.
