Architected a major redesign of the Web UI for Visual Uptime, a high-availability network monitoring system for major service providers such as AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. I led an international team to update legacy code to a modular architecture of the UI and charting components in JavaScript, HTML and CSS. The redesign is testable with modern design.

Designed and developed a mapper component for an enterprise application integration (EAI) product, a critical component used to visually correlate input fields to output fields. The component allowed customers to easily create ETL pipelines without resorting to complex scripting. Development utilized JavaScript, SVG, jQuery, jQuery UI, and Backbone with a.

Designed and implemented MergeMagician, a system for managing the workflow of automated, server-side merges in a heavily-branched version control system. It is somewhat analogous to GitHub pull requests, but more advanced as it would cascade merges up and down the branch hierarchy using a publish/subscribe configuration model to perform merges.

Conceived and implemented LotsOfJots, a cloud-based document management system that combines elements of note-taking systems, semantic wikis, and document portals. The goal was to create a easy to use documentation system with reusable content, topic-based authoring, improved readability, fluid navigation across multi-sectioned documents, and fast.

Developed a graphical reporting package for JDSU’s automated testing system that allowed managers to make informed decisions regarding product readiness. The Web UI used Raphael to render various chart types such as bar and spider charts, while the server side was C# with Entity Framework accessing a MS SQL Server. Prior to this project, the automated.

Created BuildBeat, a pioneering continuous integration system (pre-dated Jenkins and Bamboo) that used a multi-agent architecture to distribute build jobs onto different servers to execute tasks in parallel for best performance. The architecture utilized proper design patterns and best practices, including an asynchronous messaging library for.

Designed and architected TeamTrack, one of the first web-based issue tracking systems on the market. The system built upon my prior defect tracking experience, adding support for multiple projects, cross-project reporting, state-based workflow, application-specific user privileges, an integrated scripting language, and graphical trend reports for.

Software Edge, makers of Defect Control System, later known as PVCS Tracker, was an early pioneer in the field of defect tracking, creating the first ever defect tracking system to run on the Microsoft Windows.
