• Project: Nardole, our goal with this project was to bring alive an 'Intent-to-work' scenario, using the persons primary device, whether phone, table, laptop, PC, or even a building badge. We are able to start a user's virtual environment prior to the actual need, there for when the person sat at their selected work space the environment would already be ready and available providing a quick session roaming to display the desktop. This could cut the time to logon dramatically, we used Bluetooth beacons, GPS geo-fencing, Wi-Fi Location services and RFID/NFC badge readers.(Patent submitted Sept-2017)• Project: Octoblu, this platform provided a method to allow communications between IoT devices giving the ability to automate interactions between a collection of devices. I created a connector that would accept message from "Meshblu" or the cloud service and would allow for useful actions to occur, it acted as a gateway to connected devices. An example is when a known entity would enter a conference room the room itself would wake up and perform action on behalf of the known entity, such as start the overhead projector, dim the lights, and initialize the meeting software such as GoToMeeting™ or Skype for Business™.Several legacy and new connections were integrated, from companies/technologies such as:  Crestron: Building/Room automation Extron: Building/Room automation PJLink: Protocol for overhead projector management Philips Hue: IoT environmental device management. (lights, temperature, etc.)• Project: IoT, Amazon Alexa, create an interface that would perform actions to 'GoToMeeting' such as "Start my current meeting" or "Set presenter to …" and many other features for demonstration on the possibilities. This was demoed during the key note speech in a Citrix Synergy conference.

• Technical Due Diligences, I was part of a cross discipline team that would perform technical due diligences on companies and or technologies that was being considered by Citrix Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). My role on this team was to assess one or more of the following areas: Security, Architecture, Suitability for Citrix, Performance, Code Quality and/or Development Process. The team would arrive on site and perform a technical analysis and then write up our finding and present to the stake holders, all with-in 7 business days.• Project: Ipseity, provide a framework to use one-time short lived issued certificates to allow for an interactive logon (windows) with-out a requirement for a password. This project included being able to federate 3rd party authenticators (such as Google, Facebook, Amazon) to grant access to a windows desktop and a true SSO experience where a user truly only logged in on time (based upon policy). The work was used to create the core to the current Citrix Cloud Authentication. It also provided the process and de-risked the implementation of Citrix's Federated Authentication Service.• Project: Hyper-V Direct, in order to improve the response time for remote operations required in XenDesktop, this projected provided direct access remotely to VM operations, such as power operations through the use of WinRM. This code base improved response time over 1000% in contrast to requesting the power operations through SCVMM, we were also able to detect failures and issues in a much more reliable timeframe.• Technologies used: .NET, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS/ECHO, CIM, REST, Java, OAuth, XML, JSON/JSON schema, OVF, C#, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, SQL, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Arduino, IoT, WinRm, GPS, Bluetooth, iBeacon, Proximity

Microsoft• Manage the Code Center Premium website and development. This website is an ASP.NET site that uses smartcard authentication to allow source code licensees to search and view source code. Another function is to be able to perform real-time debugging of applications through the use of WinDBG. In a short period of time I was able to create patches required to make the reporting tools function, dramatically improve performance and create reproducible code. • Architect for the Code Center Premium Version 3. Responsible for Security, Tool Integration, and Smartcard Authentication, architecture and design for the future version of Code Center Premium.• On DealPoint project I was responsible for creating detail design specifications from customer requirement documentation.• Designed and implemented a smartcard certificate renewal tool that allows authorized used to renew their smartcard through the internet. This tool saves time and money by distributing the workload to each user and reducing the number of annual replacement smartcard currently required.• Technologies used: C#, .NET 1.1, ASP.NET, P/Invoke, COM Interop, Code Signing/Security and Obfuscation, MS SQL Server, Smartcards and XML, some C++.

Created new ideas on access of data and implemented support classes in Java. Designed and implemented a web-base access site to dynamic data. • Increased the capabilities of server operations and client satisfaction by creating an extension to the current code base, allowing multiple local or remote servers to be managed by a single server. • Designed and implemented an innovative methodology allowing the SANView Server to run in cluster mode with an idle backup. Improved the SAN Management reporting device to continuously detect errors in the event of a crash and insure uninterrupted access to required devices.• Designed and developed a family module that integrated EMC’s data structures into the SANView server allowing for more complete network health and device definitions.• Created a .NET SOAP interface to run under the Windows operating system expanding the functionality of the SANView server in various operating environments and establishing a more marketable product.• Drafted and produced a web application/server using XML/XSLT and Perl allowing customers to view the state of the SAN network through a firewall or behind corporate secured networks. • Coordinated and led a team of 20 developers in the production of a new version of SANView, including two major releases. Developed requirements documents, functional specifications, development schedules and set corporate expectations on delivery and functionality. Project was successfully completed on time and within budget. • Technologies used: Java, SNMP, Perl, XML, HTML, and some C# & .NET 1.0.

• Using defined XML Schema definitions, I was tasked to create a new .NET WebServices application that would accept SOAP requests from an application written for Microsoft's Windows XP print wizard. The application allowed for users to print images from their Windows XP system to PhotoWorks for physical printing. These tasks included: code generation, method definition and implementation, passing the required data to the legacy systems for processing though the use of COM objects previously created. • Creating the object tier for a proprietary Electronic Commerce System. Tasks include, converting use cases into objects and actions, creating objects that create schema complaint xml, integration to SQL Server 2000, and the execution of store procedures. • Technologies used: .NET 1.1 C#, ASP.NET SOAP, Encryption, Web Services, XML, WSDL, XML Schema.
