In 2021, ZoomInfo acquired Chorus.ai after which I immediately began working with teams across the company to evangelize API Standards, API First Thinking, OpenAPI documentation, auto-generated clients based on OpenAPI specs, and investing in the frameworks and toolkits that give developers as much as possible "for free".During this time, I continued to build out prescriptive development toolkits for working with Celery, DocumentDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, LaunchDarkly, MongoDB, Redis, S3, Vault, and RDBMS (via SQLAlchemy).Over the last 18 months, I have been heavily involved in integrating the Chorus platform with OpenTelemetry + Datadog to deliver real-time metrics, monitoring, dashboards, alerts, logging, tracing, and Application Performance Monitoring.

In 2020, I joined Chorus.ai as Principal Architect of the #1 conversation intelligence platform on the planet with a focus on microservice architectures at scale. Over the next year, I established RESTful API standards, API development process, developed a toolkit based on FastAPI + Pydantic + Uvicorn to implement those standards - including automatic request validation, OpenAPI documentation, and client-generation - and began the slow process of decomposing the monolith into a microservice-based architecture.

In 2018, I left IBM to join Uptake as the Chief Architect of the Uptake Industrial AI Cloud Platform that combines sensor data ingestion, machine learning, data science models, and a metadata-driven, rapid application development platform to produce real insights that lead to real savings for our customers.In the 21 months I have been at Uptake, I have conceived of, designed, and implemented a Scala/Java-based microservice architecture consisting of an ever growing federation of services, backed by Kafka, Kubernetes, and cloud-native Amazon AWS services:• Uptake Application Service (UAS)Microservice for managing the metadata that drives metadata-driven applications.• Uptake File Service (UFS)Microservice boasting vendor-neutral RESTful APIs for working with files.• Uptake Job Service (UJS)Microservice for managing jobs that execute on a one-off or recurring, cron-like schedule, where each job executes in its own Docker container.• Uptake Notification Service (UNS)Microservice responsible for managing events, subscriptions, notification schemes & templates, sending emails and text messages and lighting up the "bell icon" in the application.• Uptake Trigger Service (UTS)MIcroservice for implementing RDBMS-style "triggers" against object-oriented transactions, UNS events, or UFS files.

In 2012, IBM acquired Emptoris. As STSM, I created a pure Java, rapid application, full-stack application development framework called 10x. By the time I left IBM, seven different teams had decided to abandon the stacks they had previously been using, choosing to, instead, standardize their next-generation releases on 10x, which by then was backed and supported by a full team of engineers.I was then called upon to overhaul IBM Sterling Control Center, which provides management, visibility, and automation over the IBM Sterling suite of on-prem and cloud-based solutions.I then began working with a team based out of Toronto, Canada on a new suite of Supply Chain Management offerings, starting with Watson Supply Chain. It was there that I developed a microservice and NoSQL-based set of frameworks for developing SaaS applications called the SaaS Toolkit which Watson Supply Chain is based on to this day. (As far as I know!)During my last years at IBM, I was asked to chair the Patent Review Board for blockchain-related patents for all of IBM. In 2016, I authored a blockchain patent for a global Event Ledger that could be used to establish a permanent record of, well, anything. In 2019, the USPO awarded patent 10,361,869 to IBM citing me as the sole inventor.

In December 2010, Emptoris acquired Rivermine Software and, in 2011, Emptoris named me Chief Technology Officer. As CTO, I brought the Rivermine application development platform to Emptoris where it became the foundation of three new SaaS solutions: Program Management, Virtual Supplier Master, and Request Management.

In 2007, Rivermine named me Chief Technology Officer. As CTO, I continued my role of Chief Software Architect while interfacing with VC firms, conducted technical due diligence of acquisitions, and assisted Sales to close deals.I also began interfacing with new partners in Europe, continued to provide oversight to existing outsourcing in India and started up new outsourcing in Eastern Europe. Rolled out internal automation platforms to increase efficiency and improve margins in managed services. Pioneered and oversaw migration of conventional hosting to a new grid-based virtualized hosting solution adding to company’s bottom line.

In 2004, I left PeopleSoft to join Rivermine as Chief Software Architect where I would be responsible for all architectural and technical decisions throughout the company. Selected and rolled out development tools and processes in Engineering.As a player/coach, worked to iteratively improve the architectural underpinnings of the current generation product while simultaneously working to develop a next-generation application development platform using JBoss, Hibernate, MySQL, AJAX, Lucene, EMF, Axis, and other J2EE technologies. Initiated several market-leading innovations including Enterprise Search, Graphical Network Mapping, and Job Scheduler. Integrated with Microstrategy reporting and developed a proprietary BPM engine. Created and rolled out a new architecture that allows creation of enterprise-class 3-tier AJAX applications without writing HTML, JavaScript, or SQL, reducing hand-written code over the previous generation product by 85%.

In 2003, PeopleSoft acquired J.D. Edwards at which time I became responsible for architectural approval of core designs for next generation release of PeopleTools. Authored Functional Design Document for Service Oriented Architecture, Event Architecture, and detailed UML diagrams to help “pull it all together”, and help explain it all to countless others.In 2004, I received PeopleSoft’s Outstanding Contributor Award.

In 2001, J.D. Edwards acquired YOUcentric where I was team lead to integrate CRM with J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld™ product. Created comprehensive extension strategy for packaged applications. Ported TOPLink-based CRM product to Cocobase. Directed IBM-led prototype of EJB. Led team to refactor framework to natively support loosely-coupled, asynchronous integration with external data sources. Researched Web Services and prototyped a Web Service Toolkit for Application Development. J.D. Edwards was acquired by PeopleSoft in 2003.

As the 7th employee of this startup, single-handedly created this company’s first Java offering, JSales, a two-tier product based on Applets, JavaBeans, and JDBC. Wrote about half of the next-generation 3-tier product, YOUrelate, including 100% of the Object Server (EJB + TOPLink), the first version of CRM Toolset (meta-data driven architecture + AWT), reference implementation of our fat client (Swing), and prototype of the Presentation Server (Servlets + JSP + XML). Involved in the full lifecycle of the product, from inception to code to QA to pre-sales to performance and scalability tuning to support. The success of JSales and YOUrelate propelled YOUcentric from 7 employees to 250, and was later acquired by J.D. Edwards for $86 million in 2001.
