I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in software architecture, design and construction, parallel programming, data structures and algorithms, client/server and peer-to-peer interface design, and project estimation. Most recently I have focused on the development of an automated system deployment web service (where a system is a collection of integrated services or applications) as part of a CI/CD solution.Starting my career as math teacher before becoming software professional, I have never lost my enthusiasm for conveying my knowledge to others and taking opportunities to further my education in the latest, best practices of my craft. I am able to leverage this enthusiasm to quickly master the requirements at hand so that I not only soon become productive but very often take the lead in the effort.HIGHLIGHTS:➤ Designed a developed a system deployment server (a'la Octopus Deploy - https://octopus.com/). Not as feature rich, perhaps, but much easier to use.➤ Helped design and construct a storage hypervisor that could be hosted on premise or in the cloud.➤ Designed and constructed a software solution to exchange data between disparate database management systems without losing the semantics of the data.➤ Led a team of 8 to enable a database transaction replication product to communicate with disparate database management systems using their native APIs.➤ Codified the policies and procedures used to bring order and predictability to the professional software engineering shop.TECHNOLOGIES: Docker, Concourse, Design Patterns from the “GoF” and others, Swagger, Thrift IDL, Swig JNI Utility, JetBrains/eclipse; git-GitHubLANGUAGES: Go, C++, C, Python, Bash, Java, IBM 390 Assembler; UNIX/Linux.MANAGEMENT: Engineering lead for as many as eight; Scrum Master; Objective project estimation using Function Point Analysis and other measures of product and process.INDUSTRIES: Video entertainment and communications; Data storage; Software vendor for various sectors including financial, banking, agricultural, government and DoD; Telecommunications; Shop Floor Control.
