As a designer/builder of Java EE build tools for JDeveloper, I developed expertise in EJB and JPA standards and authored a popular developer guide, now in its 4th edition. I also patented an object-relational mapper interface that was integrated into an Object Oriented Development (OOD) system.

I presented Computer Aided Systems Engineering (CASE) design tools at industry conferences, and also built code generators in PL/SQL to generate C++ classes from data models.
