My primary focus was rebuilding morale and confidence in the development team and resurrecting the development backlog with a stabilized and reliable SDLC. Once this was complete, I led the effort to establish and begin implementation of a roadmap to revamp the single-tenant/single-survey legacy platform into a multi-tenant/trend-enabled platform. This roadmap was most effective as a selling point for the company to be purchased as a forward-thinking leader within the industry.

In this role, I was part of a team tasked with rewriting the company's flag-ship Notification platform.My leadership responsibilities included:- Functional and Technical Analysis of the existing platform- Functional and Detailed Design Documentation- Team mentoring- Creating code-comments standards so we could successfully generate code documentation- Creating standards for the database design (we chose MS-SQL 2012)- Creating developer tools to automate the task of updating the EDMX file- Creating code standards for unit-testing- Developed tools to enable unit-tests to be generatedI was directly responsible for a large part of the platform's infrastructure:- Creating an infrastructure for the localization of the entire user-interface- Creating an infrastructure for the "middle-tier" of the platform- Creating an infrastructure for the "security-access" layer of the platform- Creating an infrastructure for Logging, Configuration, and Security- Creating the data-access layer (we chose EntityFramework Database-First)- Creating the user-interface layer (we chose ASP.Net MVC, Razor, jQuery, Bootstrap, TypeScript)- Creating a comprehensive library of Razor user-interface controlsI was also directly responsible for several large features of the platform:- MessageType framework- Deployment framework- Configuration framework- Campaign Designer and Runtime- State and Federal Compliance framework- Scheduling framework- Security framework

Brought on board to lead the "Integrations" team.I was responsible for leading a team of developers to consolidate the company's various data-integrations projects into a single, schedule-based, remote-integration solution. A brand, new platform was created from the ground-up within my first six months.At the same time, all legacy systems were supported until migration could complete. A migration strategy was created and implemented as soon as the new platform was put into production.The new platform used a plug-in architecture so new integrations could be added without disturbing the growing customer base.Throughout development, new documentation standards were created and implemented. Coding practices and standards were also documented and enforced. Before I arrived, the team had virtually no pre-existing documentation, and coding standards were non-existent.

Continue to work with Northrop Grumman on an as-needed basis.Working with Matrix Medical Network on custom enterprise-level applications. This includes: - supporting legacy ASP.Net (C#) application - writing reports (SSRS) - developing and implementing data-transformations for dozens of file layouts (SSIS) - general support of all development activities

-Responsible for supporting Northrop Grumman Ship Building in a Level Of Effort capacity. This includes software documentation and development at CMMI Level 3. Other responsibilities include software testing and deployment; end-user training and support; developer training and mentoring; and, general trouble-shooting.Projects include:-Integrated Verification Database (IVD)-Hazardous Material Management Database (HMMD)-Maintenance Engineering Analysis (MEA)-Risk & Opportunity Management System (ROMS)-Master Equipment List (MEL)-"The Portal" (intranet Portal)

-Responsible for suite of Web and Windows products aimed at State and District level customers (100,000’s of end-users).-Training and directing of a focused team of developers.-Oversaw all aspects of project planning, requirements gathering, scheduling, documentation, database design, code architecture (scalability, extensibility, and maintenance), and coordination with other departments (QA, support, and marketing).-Created an open environment where each team member felt directly responsible for the project’s success. Members were expected to offer valuable contributions and not become a ‘drone.’-Successfully implemented several in-house processes which streamlined the team’s production. These ranged from general problem solving techniques, to code-generators written in a variety of languages, to in-house developer tools.-Developed proven automation techniques promoting increased productivity and decreased maintenance costs.

-Utilized ASP.Net, VB.Net, C#, JavaScript, CSS, and XML-technologies.-Architected a State-wide Special Education Tracking System (STI-SETS) for the state of Alabama. Project estimated to last 18 months, but only allocated 9. Project completed on time.-Demonstrated ingenuity by using XSLT as a code generator. Both web and PDF representations of hundreds of customer-specific, paper forms was required. The XSLT generator recovered five months from the development schedule by transforming the PDF layouts (ActiveReports RPX) into ASP.Net layouts (ASCX and CSS).-Created a simple, declarative validation rule-engine based on XPath. Rule-engine was reused on different tiers and platforms without rewriting domain-specific logic, saving more time.-Created an ASP.Net ‘Form Engine’ capable of being embedded in a web-application. Handles data-input, validation and error-reporting, and communication with the back-end.-Continued support and development of STI-SETS for additional customers.
