Tasked as a solver to find and address pain points throughout our software and development environments.

Originally tasked with creating a customized reporting tool that would allow for rapid report writing and customized logic for many different scenarios. Scenarios covered file formats such as tab delimited output, fixed width output and even 837p file formats. There was a need to be able to compile data form many sources and consolidate all of this into a format that state and local governments could parse to payout for medicaid. Created a solution to allow our custom SSO tokens to be usable inside a shared SSRS instance. This allowed all of our customers to have additional robust report writing and viewing without having to setup a single report service instance for each customer. Instead the customers reports were isolated in distinct folders on the server from each other and the SSO token would authenticate the users and validate all permission isolation was setup correctly inside the SSRS database. After completion of these projects I was tasked with leading a team to fix and rewrite critical pieces of our system. We found and fixed many of our most painful performance issues along with helping to design the future road map of our patient intake and billing applications.

Beaverton, Or

In charge of developing a custom algorithm used to solve the traveling salesman problem. Along with continually improving on performance and customization, I ensure that the rest of our code is written in as easily testable a way as possible. Dedicating myself to ensuring in depth code coverage and tests at the unit and integration levels. Constantly looking for ways to improve our product to be more resilient, faster and able to consistently reproduce code decisions in an offline environment for when issues arise.

Portland, Oregon Area

Developing new incentives and channel experiences around bulk purchases with Incomm Incentives. Continually working to improve and evolve our core platform and APIs. Special emphasis on creating a way to easily do integration testing and logging with our legacy system so that we can re-factor code with a high level of assurance features are not being lost or modified in unexpected ways.

Initially started in the Platform, Benchmark and Readiness (PBR) team to add features, stability and confidence for our customers. Assisted in the SSO (Single sign on) solution and the initial redesign for our Cognos upgrade. Moved to do front end development and rewrite the UI and web services for project resource allocation. Now working remotely on the Impress One User (IOU) team to fix any defects that have escaped into production. Also working on paying back on technical debt that has been accrued over time.

Built a new student assignment system in C# .NET 4.0. A hybrid ASP.NET/MVC 3 web application using jQuery to get cross browser JavaScript compatibility. The project was completed using an agile scrum development cycle of 2 weeks with paired programming to ensure quality and cooperation across all code areas. Most of the code was written with test driven development in mind, coding to interfaces to make easy use of the MoQ tools in our tests.

Extending a third party ticketing software to create templates and tool-sets for developing automated management of network, contact and authorization assets. Took the lead with other development teams in using the tools and services to build their own automation routes. Assisted with the design and development of the dashboard built using the MVC framework.

Developed many solutions for clients using C# and the .NET 3.5 libraries with MVC.NET/JQuery, WPF, LINQ, Windows Workflow Foundation, WCF, and SQL ORMs. NUnit was used as the testing framework as we moved our development style in the direction of a more test driven development. Agile development methodologies were used for development allowing for small teams and rapid development times.

Took charge of upgrading the classic asp and cold fusion applications to .NET 2.0 and AJAX.NET. Used Telerik’s web controls to enhance the UI experience while trying to move into a more asynchronous web experience with very limited post backs. Integrated applications with multiple CMS systems used by different departments: Ektron, Refresh Software and Open CMS. Went through all the legacy applications and code to try and remove anything that would lead to SQL injection attacks or XSS.

Created a display system for advertising school functions, written using PHP to seamlessly display QuickTime previews from a database of upcoming movies on the screens placed around the university. Developed a 3d interactive tour of the university using QTVR and Stitcher.
