• Developed and maintained edge caching servers to enhance content retrieval performance and reduce network bandwidth usage.• Collaborated with global engineers to design and implement real-time market data servers with automatic failover redundancy.• Trained overseas support team on server design and maintenance during product transition.• Implemented a tiered distribution framework to optimize server performance across multiple platforms.

Coded a CORBA interface for client applications to publish XML messages to a vendor messaging gateway. Modified the existing framework to allow content-based message routing. Added support for Websphere MQ as a message transport. Created an interface to a faxing server to route hardcopy messages to individual carriers that had no means of supporting online messaging. Responsible for testing and production support.Developed the TCP/IP interface for a multi-threaded credit card processing server. Responsible for code integration and build management for a group of ten developers. Performed integrated system testing for this complex software system.Solo project to build an application for monitoring the status of production servers. The application detected server outages and could initiate restarts as well as generate pages to on-call support.

Implemented a transaction server for processing trade-entry requests. Developed and coded the database and message subsystems. All subsystems were developed to run on multiple platforms. Utilized ODBC to implement the database subsystem on Windows NT. Utilized DB2 to implement the database subsystem on Sun Solaris. Utilized CORBA as the messaging transport mechanism.

Designed and coded the graphical user interface in X-Windows/Motif for BVEdge, a three-dimensional modeling application. OpenGL was used for the modeling portion of the application. Made extensive use of callbacks, action procedures, and event handlers to customize the behavior of controls. Developed a scripting language and testing engine to automate regression testing.
