I worked for the GFAIS (Global Failure Analysis Information Systems) group wearing many hats developing and maintaining an in-house application that facilitates the aggregation and analysis of failure data originating both internally and from the field. The position involved understanding Java, JSP, JavaScript, HTML, Oracle SQL, and a slew of proprietary technologies.I wrote and tested code for the system, as well as designed new features, upgraded existing code to use OOD/OOP principles, managed production releases and processes, and wrote technical documentation covering all of the above.> As Production Release Manager, successfully launched many production releases of this internal, mission-critical web-based application; coordinating with teams across the globe for deployment, testing, and final go-live.> As Software Librarian, managed and audited extensive source code repository; participated in the highly successful migration of the source control package from an ancient version of Microsoft's VSS to GIT.> As Developer and Software Architect, designed Object-Oriented solutions to multiple key areas of the application, resulting in the elimination of roughly 30% legacy code base and increasing coding efficiency for new features by roughly 50%.> Designed and documented solutions to multiple key new features using OOD/OOP principles for future maintainability and scalability.> Helped develop, and document, new development processes and procedures as we moved from a pure waterfall development methodology to an agile one, finally settling on a "scrum-ban" process flow.> Led and participated in Agile Ceremonies: Scrum, Release Planning, Grooming, etc.

Broomfield, Co

> Organized, and automated the build/distribution of, a large (1000+) collection of test scripts used in a proprietary FC Switch Simulator. This resulted in greatly improved response time to the needs of product development teams, as well as improved consistency of the build process.> Created 200-300 additional test cases (positive and negative) for use in the above simulator to test new FC functionality.> Created large body of diagnostic embedded test routines for use in the next generation simulator then under development.

Quintessential Software is the company under which I do occasional consulting and freelance programming work, though I've not done much through the company since about 2006-ish (hence the end-date, though the company is still viable).Some of the projects I have worked on (in this context) include: > A complex cost estimation program for a local highway construction contractor. Included design and implementation of the database manager, user interface, and reports. Final product was an easy-to-use, intuitive application for Departments of Transportation (DOTs), Engineers, and Contractors. > A small RTF markup program which color-coded parts of speech for a client involved in researching concept retention techniques in education. > Consulting work for a major SCSI Test Software company.

Littleton, Co

> Developed and maintained complex SCSI & Fibre Channel test software for a wide range of clients in the SCSI/FC manufacturing and mass storage industries, including Seagate, HP, Dell, Storage Tek, Maxtor, and others. > Designed, implemented, and operated a QC and Development Test Lab, including equipment needs, inventory, assembly, and the design and setup of automated systems- and unit-testing; saving time and effort during qualification of the above SCSI/FC test software releases.

Bachelor Of Arts (Ba), Computer Science & Chemistry

After 3 yrs at CSM, transferred to UCSD where I finished my Chemistry degree and earned a Computer Science degree (double major).

Chemistry, Geology

Was working on a BS in Chemistry as a foundation for an MS in Geochemistry. However, was also paying out of state tuition, so after 3.

Geochemistry

After receiving my BAs in Chemistry and Computer Science, returned to CSM to begin work on the cherished MS in Geochemistry, only.
