TroubleshooterExisting production WinForm software was crashing after several hours of use. I was engaged to determine and correct the cause of the crashes.

Using RedGate ANTS Memory Profiler I determined the cause of the crashes to be memory leaks and modified 170 classes, implementing a dispose pattern to eliminate the memory leaks.Designer/MentorThe same production software required a new insurance module. I designed the insurance module using object oriented techniques, SOLID principles and weak events. I used this opportunity to train employees and consultants on the causes of memory leaks and showed how a weak event system and proper disposal patterns could be used to prevent future memory leaks. I developed and documented a new design pattern which was applied to the insurance module and was intended to be a model for fixing existing code and development of future models. Elimination of duplicate code and code reuse were main features of the design pattern.TechnologyAgile, c#, WinForm, Multi-Threaded, Dev Express, Oracle 11g, SOLID, MVP, Weak Events, ANTS, VS2010 Show less

Technical LeadI worked with multiple teams of .Net developers, providing design assistance, mentoring, code reviews, release coordination and general management of the software development process for a call center application. I monitored problem reports using an application of my own design and alerted upper management to infrastructure and software problems.TechnologyAgile, VB.net, WinForm, DevExpress, Oracle, IVR

DeveloperDuring the course of this engagement I identified architectural design flaws, recommended solutions and implemented design changes to ensure a robust call center application. I created custom WPF controls for portions of the application for which WinForm composite controls were not practical. I used a code profiler to optimize performance and eliminate memory leaks.TechnologyAgile, c#, WinForm, Multi-Threaded, WPF, Telerik, SQL Server, WCF, Eqatek

MentorI was engaged to provide application design and developer training using the DevExpress tool suite for WinForm applications. I provided guidance in extending controls, implementing custom properties and methods and advanced form layout techniques, including the use of two monitors.TechnologyAgile, c#, WinForm, Dev Express, Oracle 11g, VS2010

DeveloperAs part of an Agile development team, I followed the vendor’s MVC design pattern to implement modifications to forms and logic. The loan origination system was a commercial product with extensible features that required back-door programming skills to modify forms for which the source code was not available. Participated in Agile daily standups, grooming sessions, planning, and retrospectives.TechnologyAgile, c#, WinForm, MVC, Infragistics, SQL Server, WCF, I3

After analyzing the current warehouse processes and requirements, I assessed 30 different warehouse management systems, narrowing the list down to three vendors. I conducted vendor interviews, software trials and evaluations before deciding on the final selection. I supervised the implementation of the software in the three warehouses and worked with the vendor to implement customizations and resolve bugs.The warehouse management system needed to interface to the existing MES and ERP systems. This was accomplished by evaluating and selecting middleware software (Boomi) to perform rule based data transformations between the three systems.DeveloperDespite the extensive use of commercial software, gaps still existed in interfacing with various vendors and customers. I developed an ASP.Net web application allow remote raw material shipping location to provide ASN information which was integrated into the ERP and WMS software.MentorThe tea company management want to diversify the business by taking their knowledge of commodity trading, manufacturing and distribution to form an IT company. I trained an offshore team in the development of WinForm applications and the use of 3rd party controls. I also introduced the Agile Scrum methodology to the offshore team.Commercial Software The offshore team, under my guidance, developed commercial WMS and MES software products.Data AcquisitionAs part of an initiative to increase productivity on the tea packing lines, I designed and installed data acquisition hardware and software using Opto 22 SNAP components.

Designer I designed and implemented the “Universal Audit Program”, an application that allowed the user to design an audit form, collect data and generate reports. The “form designer” portion of this application is very similar to the form designer in the Microsoft InfoPath product, but predates that product by two years.
