I was recruited to help there software development process, to more inline with Agile, verse waterfall process they employed. I helped them to understand proper requirements gathering, and time-boxing. Once they had a better handle on their time-boxing, I was able to employ more structured TDD (test driven development) process. This included a complex Maven multi-module subversion installation with Continuum and Archiva for artifact management. The maven build employed HSQL memory database, embedded JBoss, Tomcat 5.5, and JBoss 4.2. I then setup a full continuous integration where DBUnit and HSQL would test all database services. Then Selenium with Jetty, Tomcat and JBoss would startup in memory to perform functional tests during the build process. We where able to achieve +84% code coverage.

IBM CareWeb / CIS for UMHHC (UofM)Goal of UofM Project: IBM was contracted to design and develop a clinical information system. The system was to aid doctors and nurses with their daily tasks. Doctors could review history of a patient that included actions performed by any doctor or nurse. The history would include medication and therapy rendered. There was a 2-way pharmacy interface into the Lexicon system. This would give real-time drug-to-drug alerts for doctors prescribing medications. There was a great deal of security logic, as this application was required to be HIIPA compliant. There was also a fairly complex UI workflow logic involved to correctly and efficiently display information to the user such as schedules, charts and summaries.
