I was the lead developer and Solution Architect on a project to enable small businesses to use VISA cards through BECU's online banking application and several other channels. The project was mostly systems integration involving multiple vendors and systems, the primary result of which was an aggregation service with methods that combined data from other web services and several databases in real time.Additionally, I helped hire four new developers, a DevOps analyst and a test developer (SDET) for BECU's IT department.

On this contract I wrote and consumed WCF web services, integrated to and customized Dynamics CRM and wrote multithreaded code to integrate to multiple source systems. The web services were written in .NET 4.0 making extensive use of LINQ for xml transformation.

This was a contract development project that I received through Redmond Technology Partners. It involved developing a set of C# (.NET 2.0) components that translates search engine query results into an XML format, and then optionally transforms the results into HTML and e-mails them to a distribution list.Tech Stack: C#, .NET 2.0, Visual Studio

This was an agency contract through Redmond Technology Partners. It consisted of implementing web services to enable BECU to accept auto loans applications from car dealerships.

I worked with Mike Wills and Amos Chong to discover and analyze the technical requirements for a enterprise reporting application for Microsoft. Tech stack: ASP.NET, C#, IIS, MS SQL, .NET 1.1, SOAP, SSL, Visio, Visual StudioSystems Integrated: Internal Microsoft systems

After Starbucks acquired Seattle Coffee Company, I continued to provide comprehensive IT services to SCC, but systems integration was the main activity. Projects included: * Transforming and loading SBC financial data into Starbucks' systems. * Integrating SBC and Torrefazione Italia ecommerce sites into Amazon.com * Integrating Paymentech credit card services into SBC ecommerce sites.Tech stack: ASP.NET, C#, IIS, MS SQL, SOAP, Visual StudioSystems Integrated: Amazon Merchant Services, Paymentech

I provided software development, business intelligence and IT consulting services to SCC. Projects included:• Developing (with Larry Hubbell) a P&L reporting tool. This OLAP-based tool allows users to quickly perform complex multi-dimensional (org unit, time and statement) analysis of P&L data, and supported Excel exports;• Mentoring SCC developers on Win32, Visual Basic, and T-SQL programming techniques;• Adapting Cinnabon's restaurant back office system to work for SCC. This involved:o changing the user interface and business logic to conform to SBC and TI business practices;o converting the site data feeds from a modem polling model to an FTP based push model. Doing this saved thousands of dollars in long distance and software licensing fees and reduced the IT support load;o Creating an automated site management system (site maintenance + ETL). This was administered via a dashboard that gave the administrator a single page view of system status.Tech stack: ASP.NET, C#, Excel, IIS, MDX, MS SQL, MS OLAP, SOAP, VB, Visual Studio

I provided software development and business intelligence and software development process consulting services to Cinnabon. Projects included: • Supporting existing back office ETL processes;• Integrating Cinnabon payroll and accounting processes into AFCs payroll (Peoplesoft) and accounting systems (Lawson) with Richard Ellison and Larry Hubbell;• Performance tuning an existing data warehouse ETL process from Lawson Financials. The optimizations cut 4.4 hours from a 4.5 hour process;• Mentoring Cinnabon developers in Visual Basic and MS Office technologies.

I mentored this consulting team in software development processes. I interviewed new programmers, project managers, testers and business analysts; created a quality assurance team that performed ad hoc, scripted and automated testing; established new source code control guidelines; and mentored business analysts in requirements gathering techniques.

I managed and participated in the development of an event-scheduling web application for Microsoft's Executive Briefing Center (EBC). Other projects included the "VB Live" code sample web site for the Microsoft Visual Basic team and a search engine for a local publishing company.

As a member of the Rapid Application Development Business Unit (RADBU) of Visual Studio, I managed a team of software developers and testers responsible for testing Visual Studio RAD tools. Responsibilities included: • Working with the visual studio localization team to streamline software internationalization;• Managing a four person team of testers and test automation developers;• Creating processes for ad-hoc and automated testing of these components so that the testing could be easily delegated to members of my team; • Creating code samples for online distribution;• Testing the Traditional Chinese and French builds of Visual Basic 5.• Testing code-generation tools and other software development tools released with Visual Basic 5.

Troubleshooting, training, database and information systems development.Apps developed included:• GL Report: Created ETL process to extract data from Lawson Financials into SQL Server, then wrote a VBA function to generate a drilldown report in Microsoft Excel;• Vendor Management: This app allowed buyers to enter and query data about vendor parts. Buyers could enter bills of materials (BOM) and then link them to compatible vendor parts. Once linked, parts could be searched for by vendor part number, BOM part number, or description;• Materials Disposition: This was a workflow app that enabled buyers to track the diposal of faulty and surplus parts.
