• Lead group of 6 developers, 5 QA engineers and various other contractors in the development and successful launch of the new www.eetimes.com web infrastructure. This was a complete replacement of a 14 year old Java/Oracle based infrastructure to a brand new .NET/SQL Server based infrastructure.• Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Team Foundation Server with the Agile SCRUM Templates were utilized for Team based and offshore development of 6+engineers based in India.• .C#/NET/MVC, nHibernate, MSMQ, Web Services (both REST and WCF), and advanced Javascript.• This was highly complex and advanced object oriented architecture and I lead most aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle all the way from Requirements gathering and design to Production deployment, performance testing, and production support. • Responsible for the production environment, monitoring and load/failover testing

• Development lead for the following web sites: www.maxtor.com, freeagent.seagate.com, www.mysims.com, www.mysimsparty.com, www.mysimsracing.com and one currently in development. They all utilized advanced HTML/Javascript. The Seagate sites also utilized dynamic pricing and inventory information via AJAX/XML. I was involved in the Full life cycle including creating and presenting the Technical Architecture Documents to the clients. All projects utilized Omniture for usage reporting.• Development lead/architect on a highly advanced widget utilizing advanced HTML/Javascript/AJAX/XML/.NET/SQL Server. They also Integrate with various Flash components and provide a clean interface for Facebook and Myspace API third party integration. I was also responsible for creating outlines for load balancing and performance considerations as well as a Technical Architecture document. Estimates of time and resources were also my responsibility.• All projects utilized strict source control and environment/staging processes and Project/Team based development. I was responsible for interviewing and managing other contractors and completing projects under very tight deadlines with somewhat limited resources.

Launched a startup company with two other partners. Primarily responsible for most technical aspects of operating the company including developing new software products for the company. The latest product was a web based, object oriented/J2EE application on the Jboss/Linux/PostgreSQL platform with heavy use of EJBs for database access and business rules. This product was designed from scratch and allowed restaurants to create and place their menus online and allowed consumers to place orders that would then be sent to the restaurant. A complex monitoring engine was developed in Java to ensure that the restaurant received the fax orders within a certain time-frame. Created various MVC/STRUTS/Spring/Hibernate based frameworks for this system. All builds and deployment scripts were written using ANT. The company's first product was a self-serve kiosk for use in grocery/deli retail environments. This product was touch-screen based and a successful version was demoed at Harris Teeter. A larger company purchased this technology from Hummingbird and has begun implementing it at select Lowe's Food stores. Takeout Solutions was unable to secure a backer for the online ordering product which forced the company to dissolve

Worked on large-scale projects within the financial industry. These projects integrated with various backend financial systems and went through the entire life cycle of development all the way from object-modeling/requirements gathering/documentation to actual coding and testing. I was also placed on various "swat" teams where analytical and deep technical skills were needed to solve complex and difficult Java-based problems under tight time-lines. The projects were primarily on the Websphere/AIX/DB2/MQSeries/Java platform but the iPlanet Application Server was used in some cases. All of these projects utilized EJBs for database access and business rules. All of these projects utilized the STRUTS and MVC design pattern and some of the initial designs were documented using the Rational (RUP) product suite. One of my projects also involved the discovery, design, and implementation of a web services/XML/SOAP messaging infrastructure as well as a build and deployment infrastructure utilizing the ANT build tools. EJBs were primarily exposed as web services and were callied from other external components via SOAP/XML. I was also involved in the performance testing and debugging for many of these projects, especially in the Middleware/EJB layers.

Developed ECommerce applications in a 6 month consulting role for 2 clients that interfaced both a proprietary Property Management System and a Tee Time Management System residing on a RS6000 system.

Heavily involved in both the overall and detailed design process, pricing, and documentation. Personally responsible for development of 80%of the code. Developed Central Reservation System and Internet booking engine using SQL Server/Cold Fusion. Allowed for both a centralized search as well as custom reservation booking engines on individual customers' web sites. Customers could allocate inventory or if they had a Guestmate Property Management system, an interface was written to update inventory automatically. Maintained SQL Server mailing list of over 2.5 million records. Maintained respective data loading and list processing programs written in Perl/DBI. Maintained network of over 25 PC s in a switched environment and 10+ web/email/DNS servers, T-1 connection and Cisco router to the Internet, and security configuration including SonicWall Firewalls. No outsourcing/contracting was utilized, 100 was self-taught through manuals, and documentation/communication on the Internet. Responsible for all hardware/software purchases. Management duties included directly managing 2 programmers and 1 Intern. Consulting with President about business decisions and pricing/quoting of all large projects and software modules. Received recognition for being one of the main factors in the success of the company and in particular the buyout of Intellistrand in 1999 by HTC, a South Carolina Telephone Cooperative.
