Populosa Technology—founded to build [redacted], an answer to the complexity of modern life and the myriad data streams that inundates each person.* The device learns from data streams and—echoing the brain—self-structures data.* No requirement for pre-trained data, as the device learns on the fly.* Not LLM or Transformer based; not pre-trained, does not rely on labeled inputs.* Built using Sparse Distributed Representation stored in Hierarchical Temporal Memory.* Uses a Tolman-Eichenbaum machine--a synthetic hippocampus.

* Unilaterally solved a company wide problem of information hoarding and fostered a company that prized helping other engineers. * Solved a huge problem that led to becoming SME on Grading, and to later trips to Bogota, Colombia and to Chennai, India to evangelize the company’s technology and processes.* Developed and implemented all grading-related microservices that served legacy and next generation application interfaces.* Created a body of architecture diagrams by reverse engineering the existing codebase.* Company trip to Bogota, Colombia for two weeks in May 2019 to deliver technical lectures on the company’s systems and to train engineers using the architecture.* Developed 39 hours of technical lectures on the architecture of the company’s products, presented live at Bb Developer Summit in Chennai, India on December 2022 to an audience of 300 Indian engineers.* Invented and led Bb Developer Bootcamp, a technical seminar on the architecture of the company’s stack.* Created a central “Onboarding – Survival Guide” resource for remote teams in Bogota, Colombia and Chennai, India.* Planned and initiated a 9-month BigDecimal/Grading processes project addressing a decade and a half of technical debt, complicated by deprecation issues.* Triaged issues, reviewing hundreds of PRs, leading code reviews and giving constructive code improvements in daily DoD (code quality) gates.* Acted as a day-to-day development mentor to developers in Chennai, Bogota, Czech Republic and the US.* Built a collection of E2E tests, using Selenium and Selenide, that verified that critical feature sets (grades) remained internally consistent across four different perspectives: (Instructor, Student, Download, Reporting).

Primary Architect on Visage, a medical-code-mapping tool that fixes medical mapping errors that arise when 130 health care institutions stream millions of HL7s to a regional Health Information Exchange.* Visage: Spring MVC/Spring Security 4/ SOA-objects application that analyzes and reprocesses Health Level Seven (HL7) documents that contain non-compliant clinical information.* Automation enabled by Visage allowed a staff of 4 to do the same work that had formerly required an army of 18 people to do.Architect for NCD 1.4, the Notifiable Condition Detector, a health informatics tool that taps HL7 streams, scanning for contagions such as COVID19, Ebola and Zika.Primary Architect and Lead Engineer on Calico, an application that tracks outgoing hospital information feeds.* This is a Spring MVC 4/Spring Security 4 with all Java Config, integrating with Active Directory. SOA backend.Developed CareWeb14, an application that allows hospitals in an HIE to share patient data, in the support of real-time clinical care.* CareWeb14 is an inherited application that I worked on enhancing and supporting, including the introduction of a SOA-objects layer.* This application uses the Spring Framework, Spring Security and the ZK UI Framework.

I worked on the GoBig Project only, focusing on SOA and Cassandra with Astyanax

* Served as the sole Enterprise Java Architect for Allegient at Allison Transmission, Inc.* Technical Lead for a team that transitioned support for 17 applications that included the flagship site www.allisontransmission.com, eCSS (Transmission Calibration) ProductDB, UAWCAS (Managed Union Overtime), EXTRANET , PRP (Distributor incentives), among others for a three-year, $7-million-dollar contract.* Planned and executed a major modernization effort affecting all company sites.

I worked as a back-end developer on BloombergLaw.com.
