Application and database architect and developer for a financial information aggregation platform. Using Java technologies, I designed and developed the platform to aggregate a user’s connected financial information so that it may be viewed and analyzed in one dashboard. The IMWorth system was marketed to financial institutions for integration into existing online banking platforms. I created the platform and launched it within six months and then continuously added features and integration points requested by potential clients.Over the following year, I hired and managed two other Java Developers, a Web Developer, and a Database Developer. Working as a team, the platform functioned and performed with high standards and was a proud accomplishment for all involved.

Started as a temporary contractor tasked with assisting the Marketing department in tracking and managing data related to the annual Cerner Health Conference. At the time, all of the data was managed via Excel spreadsheets and Word documents. I quickly identified the need for a more efficient system so I designed and proposed a web-based application to manage this data and increase it’s usage and flexibility.Upon approval of the proposed solution, I proceeded to build the system using Java, JSP, and an Access database. Once complete, the efficiency in managing the information was so impressive that other departments outside of Marketing heard of it and submitted proposals for me to build similar systems customized for their needs.This was an important shift in process for Cerner at the time because all of their development efforts were focused on products, and this new capability for internal process improvement was very well received.
