My role was two-fold: 1) Systems Engineer/Design, and 2) Software Developer. As a Systems Engineer, I was called upon to lead teams of engineers through the design phase of the Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) for Avaya Communication Manager Software. As a lead engineer, my responsibilities included review of high level requirements with customers and developing those requirements into actionable designs for software, hardware, and firmware developers. As a software developer, I often implemented many of the software requirements that I had previously written or requirements that were written by other Systems Engineers. Also, as a software developer, I was called upon to correct software defects (aka bugs) in the system that were identified during system test or in the field.

I was responsible for the development of system level requirements for integration of many component software elements. The system involved the integrations of many 3rd party elements in order to create a cohesive environment. The product was a development platform which means that there is often far more degrees of flexibility required than with a turnkey solution as other developers will modify this platform for their own resale.Led the design team for a 3rd party customizable PBX platform which integrated several standards compliant interfaces including S.1xx and H.1xx, ISDN Q.931, Windows WMI, SOAP, HTML, and HTTP. The primary focus of this development centered on call processing feature requirements and System Management. The system management effort included the integration of several disparate interfaces from Win32 GUIs, several web pages, and embedded CLI management into one cohesive web-based application.
