Consulting Experience |
Fieldprint – Mount Laurel, NJ (March 2016 to Sept
2016) Developer As
a member of a sprint team I coded and designed new applications and
modified existing applications for FBI background check scheduling and
processing. Fieldprint is an
extremely security conscience organization and coding often required
managing encryption, certificates and secure coding techniques. For example, I used the Checkmarx product
to identify and correct code security flaws via static code analysis. I upgraded many of their applications
from earlier versions of Visual Studio to VS 2015. Technology VS2015,

(Jan 2016 to March 2016) Developer Radius collects outstanding debts for
financial institutions and other clients.
This assignment required automating customer lists and debt history
data transfers to and from clients via FTP and SFTP. I used SSIS to schedule and orchestrate
data transfers. Technology VS 2013, c#, SQL Server, SSIS, T/SQL,

(Aug 2014 to Dec 2015) Developer As
a member of a sprint team I coded new features for a loan origination
system, maintained existing code and participated in Agile ceremonies. For
every new method I wrote I also wrote a unit test using TypeMock. I estimated story tasks and created
custom reports for the Version One Agile Management software. Mentor Assisted
new developers in complex configuration of the loan origination development
environment, including software installation and configuration, certificate
installation, and navigating the permission request process. Maintained environment installation and
configuration documentation.
Assisted business analysts in writing technical aspects of software
requirements (stories). Designer I designed several utilities that allowed
business analysts access to certain loan origination setup data to assist
them in writing requirements and understanding the existing
configuration. I designed DDL
logging feature for software used to automatically sync individual
developer databases with the master development database. Technology Agile

2013 to Aug 2014) Troubleshooter Existing
production WinForm software was crashing after several hours of use. I was engaged to determine and correct
the cause of the crashes. Using
RedGate ANTS Memory Profiler I determined the cause of the crashes to be
memory leaks and modified 170 classes, implementing a dispose pattern to
eliminate the memory leaks. Designer/Mentor The
same production software required a new insurance module. I designed the insurance module using
object oriented techniques, SOLID principles and weak events. I used this opportunity to train
employees and consultants on the causes of memory leaks and showed how a
weak event system and proper disposal patterns could be used to prevent
future memory leaks. I developed and
documented a new design pattern which was applied to the insurance module
and was intended to be a model for fixing existing code and development of
future models. Elimination of
duplicate code and code reuse were main features of the design pattern. Technology Agile,

the course of this engagement I identified architectural design flaws,
recommended solutions and implemented design changes to ensure a robust
call center application. I created custom WPF controls for portions of the
application for which WinForm composite controls were not practical. I used a code profiler to optimize performance
and eliminate memory leaks. Technology Agile,

worked with multiple teams of .Net developers, providing design assistance,
mentoring, code reviews, release coordination and general management of the
software development process for a call center application. I monitored problem reports using an
application of my own design and alerted upper management to infrastructure
and software problems. Technology Agile,

controls, implementing custom properties and methods and advanced form
layout techniques, including the use of two monitors. Technology Agile, c#, WinForm, Dev Express, Oracle

Wilmington DE (Feb 2010 to Aug 2011) Developer As
part of an Agile development team, I followed the vendor’s MVC design
pattern to implement modifications to forms and logic. The loan origination system was a
commercial product with extensible features that required back-door
programming skills to modify forms for which the source code was not
available. Participated in Agile
daily standups, grooming sessions, planning, and retrospectives. Technology Agile, c#, WinForm, MVC, Infragistics,

Manager I
was engaged to select an off-the-shelf warehouse management system to be
utilized by three tea packaging companies (Harris Tea, Southern Tea and
Harris-Freeman). After analyzing the
current warehouse processes and requirements, I assessed 30 different warehouse
management systems, narrowing the list down to three vendors. I conducted vendor interviews, software
trials and evaluations before deciding on the final selection. I supervised the implementation of the
software in the three warehouses and worked with the vendor to implement customizations
and resolve bugs. The
warehouse management system needed to interface to the existing MES and ERP
systems. This was accomplished by
evaluating and selecting middleware software (Boomi) to perform rule based data
transformations between the three systems. Developer Despite
the extensive use of commercial software, gaps still existed in interfacing
with various vendors and customers.
I developed an ASP.Net web application allow remote raw material
shipping location to provide ASN information which was integrated into the
ERP and WMS software. Mentor The
tea company management want to diversify the business by taking their
knowledge of commodity trading, manufacturing and distribution to form an
IT company (iRely). I trained an
offshore team in the development of WinForm applications and the use of 3rd
party controls. I also introduced
the Agile Scrum methodology to the offshore team. iRely
Commercial Software The
offshore team, under my guidance, developed commercial WMS and MES software
products. Data
Acquisition As
part of an initiative to increase productivity on the tea packing lines, I
designed and installed data acquisition hardware and software using Opto 22
SNAP components. This system monitored
line stoppages, recorded reason for the stoppage and measured output. Growth
through Acquisition In
addition to expanding into commercial software, iRely wanted to achieve
faster growth in the commodities software market through the acquisition of
established companies involved in the trading and distribution of
commodities. I assisted in this
effort by evaluating the technology of potential acquisition targets. Technology Agile, VB.Net, ADO.Net, WinForm, DevExpress,

As
a consultant for a local consulting firm I designed a system to apply
expected loss calculations to the entire lease portfolio on a nightly
basis. This was done as part of a
BASEL II implementation and required interfacing BizTalk Server with IBM MQ
Series. In addition, I designed and
implemented software to detect lease applications in violation of the FICEN
rules. Technology Waterfall, VB.Net, ADO.Net, Time Value Amortization Library, BizTalk, IBM MQ Series, FICEN, Oracle. Tropicana Hotel and Casino –

As
a consultant for a local consulting firm I designed and implemented the
“Universal Audit Program”, an application that allowed the user to design
an audit form, collect data and generate reports. The “form designer” portion of this
application is very similar to the form designer in the Microsoft InfoPath
product, but predates that product by two years. Technology VB.Net, ASP.Net, JavaScript, Oracle, Web

Education |
Upon graduation from
Atlantic City High School I enrolled in college but my education was
interrupted by the military draft.
After completing 6 years of active duty in the United States Air
Force I resumed my education at a local community college on the GI
bill. By this time I had 3 children
and a full time job and by attending school at night over several years I
obtained two associate degrees, one in Business Administration and one in
Computer science via the GI Bill. In the Air Force I
received specialized training in Aircraft Maintenance (mechanical,
pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical systems) and in Closed Circuit
Television Maintenance (Analog and Digital Electronics). It was my military experience and
training that allowed me to transition to jobs in industrial control, data
acquisition and computer programming. I had other employment experiences and training but in having persevered in reading to this point you probably find this resume too long already. Thank you for your consideration. |
