Member of an Agile development team responsible for developing applications and middleware used to develop and manage automatic control systems and associated persisted data.* Conceived of, developed, maintained and supported a highly-configurable and extensible .NET application that allows users to create control system tools themselves without software development expertise. This approach greatly reduced the cost of creating such tools and improved responsiveness. Included migrating middleware libraries from Java to .NET.* Contributed to the development, maintenance and support of multiple Java-based applications. Included creation of an application framework.* Developed, maintained and supported a general-purpose application for working with control systems. Done in Delphi.* Led the creation of software design and coding standards.* Initiated and led a team to evaluate and select standard version control system used widely throughout product and application development departments.* Created, maintained and supported middleware using COM, Java and C++.* Developed a system testing framework based on NUnit and UIAutomation. The framework allows system tests to be developed using familiar developer tools (C#, NUnit).
