Architect and Java engineer on a greenfield development high performance proofing tool for print media. I coded the server component which implements a custom API to upload, store and render pages from PDF documents at high resolution. Rendering uses an embedded open source PDF rendering engine. The API is served by web services. A flex client tool allows a user to add annotations which are then saved to the underlying PDF document. Development uses Agile methods, e.g. full team goals, test-led development.- Core Java, J2EE, Web services, XML, PDF rendering, Windows, Unix, JUnit.Architect, designer and principal engineer on an n-tier architecture to enable concurrent collaborative editing of a shared document in Word 2007. The design comprises a Word add-in coded in C# using VSTO and WPF. The add-in communicates with a local cache management service which stores data in MSSQL/CE. The cache management service synchronises with a central server using Microsoft Synchronisation Services over Web services.- .NET, C#, VSTO, Office 2007, Silverlight/WPF, ASPX, SQL Server, Data synchronization, Stored procedures, Triggers, NUnitArchitect, designer and principal engineer on a greenfield development digital asset management server based on .NET/Web Services and J2EE web application technologies. The design patterns used in the architecture meant that the server was very flexible, running on MySQL or PostgreSQL out of the box with a design that would allow for adding other ports and new services. The server was licensed to a web publishing company.- Core Java, J2EE, Axis, JBoss, XML, Unix, JUnit, .NET, C#, NUnitWeb site maintainer for a custom Christmas card and Wedding Stationery printer.
