Worked with VP of Marketing to develop and launch experimental applications and services to our existing customer base. The two products that we worked on were Career Center and Expert Center.

I started my career as a Senior .NET developer working on a product, MCM (MyClassroomManager), designed to facilitate management of classroom based trainings. The application was developed using C# (ASP.NET) based on MVC design pattern. I was offered an opportunity to move to another team that worked on live applications (developed using ColdFusion) that included critical and challenging work. I accepted the role and was gradually given more responsibilities. I was involved in systems analysis and design, maintaining existing live applications, and also initiated some refactoring and optimization initiatives to address some paint points.

Worked with NYC based company, ESP (Enterprise Solutions Providers) on an ASP.NET (SaaS) web service to perform keyword searches on US courts cases and to provide details of cases as PDF reports generated using PDF4NET APIs. These services were developed in C# and used proprietary name search engine to also include similar names.The release process was based on Continuous Integration, which was not very popular in software companies at that time. I also worked with the team to compile a white paper that explained how to build a continuous integration environment, using tools like Draco.NET, SourceOffsite, NAnt etc.URL: http://www.espusa.com
