As a member of the Meridium product development team, led the development of several key components of the Meridium Enterprise Reliability Management Suite (ERMS). The Meridium Suite uses Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases interchangably in the database tier. The application tier is composed of COM objects running within the Microsoft Transaction Server, using the Microsoft Message Queue server for asynchronous messaging and event capabilities. The client tier is composed of both rich Visual Basic clients for complex apps, and Active Server Pages for simpler apps, with COM objects in both cases handling communication with the application tier. All data definition is done using the Meridium metadata schema, which partitions the metadata and business rules into three tiers, so that they can be applied in the client, application, or data tier.
