Sun Nuclear is the #1 worldwide leader in Radiation Oncology Quality Assurance. Over 5,000+ cancer treatment facilities use Sun Nuclear solution in over 130+ countries. While Sun Nuclear is the industry leader, their primary software that pairs with their hardware was primarily developed in 2016 and 2018 as on-premise software and had not been re-architected with modern design patterns and customers were finding it difficult to maintain and update their on premise servers and software. Immediately prior to the Mirion acquisition of Sun Nuclear, I was brought in to modernize the existing on-prem .NET software and significantly increase the valuation of Sun Nuclear with a new path forward as a SaaS company. Re-architected and re-built the existing .NET software as an AWS cloud native multi-tenant solution utilizing AWS Lambda, EKS, SQS, PostgreSQL, etc. Additionally served as the interim VP of Engineering and was promoted to Mirion post-acquisition to form the new company-wide technology team under the office of the CTO to lead the Architecture efforts across all acquired companies, to diligence potential acquisitions, and to lead Mirion through its IPO.

Mobileum’s Smart Presentation Server (SP) allows enterprises to develop a wireless application once and deliver it in an optimized fashion to all wireless devices, regardless of markup language.Redesigned and implemented the next generation Smart Presentation Server utilizing Java (Servlets/EJB/JDBC/SAX), XML (XHTML/WML/VoiceXML), and XSLT. Created XSLT style sheets for the proper conversion from one language (XHTML, HDML, WML, etc) to another (HTML, WML, PQA, VoiceXML, etc.). Altered processing of requests from enterprise grade to a telecomm carrier class product by converting processing to a SAX filter chain. After redesign, performance was increased by an order of magnitude (60 requests/sec to over 600 requests/sec on a single machine) due to the SAX-driven model and caching enhancements. Also increased RAS by integrating the server with a JavaSpace-like API to allow a cluster of servers to communicate and failover without dropping requests.
