Projects

Client/ employer	Dates	Description	Skills/technologies used
Lifetouch	7/2005-present	Design and implement web-based order entry and inquiry application. I was the tech lead on this project, worked with staff architects to make high level decisions about how the application was build, did a major part of the implementation work, and was responsible for the architecture, implementation, and deployment documentation. The application was built using the JSF / Spring / Hibernate architecture. Design and implement web-based student ID workflow application. I implemented a web application for capturing barcode specifications. We used the same architecture as the order entry application, but spent more time taking code and building reusable components, including a web service layer, JSF components, and a role based security layer. I designed a first-generation global navigation framework that provides a foundation for a consistent user experience in a portlet environment. Prepare hardware architecture alternatives for large-scale photo repository. Implemented the Nagios application management package. Installed CVS server and migrated existing repositories to new server.	Java / J2EE, Hibernate, Spring, JavaServer Faces (JSF), JSP, JMS, Oracle, Vertex, Nagios, CVS, UML
