Owned a subset of features extending from the kernel driver that tracks file system, process, network, and other real-time events through to features in the core user-mode AntiMalware engine that deals with translating those events into detections and reporting them.Deeply involved in EE work on the team – from creating coding guidelines to work on code coverage (ask about this) to implementing best practices by integrating StyleCop and FxCop into our test builds.

In SQL Server 2005, I assumed ownership of the codebase that took the hierarchical representation of a report and reproduced it in HTML, PDF, EMF (for printing), and various other image representations. I also owned the GDI rendering portion of our WinForms control that ships with Visual Studio.For SQL Server 2008 (Rosetta v3) we rewrote a majority of our server code to accommodate several large new features and while doing so, we focused heavily on scalability. I owned revamping the architecture and creating the new translation engines for the PDF, printing, and image formats plus a client-side translator embedded into our WinForms control which was supports a future goal of end-user report editability. The result of my changes were a much higher level of code efficiency and reuse backed up by noticeable (currently ~20%+) performance and scalability gains. Alongside the new code was a suite of unit tests with verifiable code coverage of slightly more than 90%.For SQL Server 2008, I wrote the assembly used to measure and render text areas inside report composed of richly formatted text.For SQL Server 2005 and half of Katmai, I owned the performance testing infrastructure for Rosetta. This included designing and developing the main performance toolset, the back-end database and the reporting system plus driving runs and investigating bottlenecks to ensure the team knew where we stood in terms of performance and scalability.
