Boeing has many legacy web applications used by aviation engineers that need to be re-designed for mobile use. Engineers were increasingly requiring the ability to take their data and application functionality with them onto the factory floor, and on aircraft for test and design flights. Architected a responsive HTML framework for use by new and existing applications allowing websites to be viewed on desktop computers and mobile devices while online or offline. Mentored the development team on the use of HTML5 and CSS3 design techniques and features for use in their own applications. Implemented HTML5 features with object oriented JavaScript using jQuery, Node.js and AngularJS to create an ASP.NET MVC mobile enabled application with data access from Entity Framework and stored procedures (and implementation of inversion of control and dependency injection); for use by engineering teams to manage multiple projects’ design and test goals. Work with a team that had members who were both onsite and remote. Skills: C#, HTML5, Entity Framework, Dependency Injection, Enterprise Library, LINQ, CSS3, ASP.NET 4.5, SQL Server 2012, REST, WCF, Web API, Ajax, JSON, jQuery, Node.js, AngularJS, JavaScript, XML, XSLT, OO design and architecture.

Washington State ferries reservation system is a new project offering the general public and commercial vehicles the ability to reserve space on a specific sailing. Before this system was in place, available space was allocated on a first come first served basis. This reservation system allows for space on the ferry boats to be better managed, spread peak vehicle traffic to no-peak times, reduce wait times, and minimize the need for costly terminal and vessel expansion projects. My task was to architect the best suited technologies: ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, Entity Framework, and JavaScript using an object oriented paradigm to implement design patterns for a single page application. Web Services (WCF) interact with Ajax JavaScript patterns using jQuery to provide a positive user experience. Skills: C#, ASP.NET 4.0, MVC 3, SQL Server 2008, Ajax, JSON, JavaScript, jQuery, AngularJS, HTML5, CSS 3, Entity Framework, Enterprise Library, LINQ, WCF, REST, XML, XSLT, XHTML, XPath, ADO.NET, Web Services, OO design and architecture.
