As technical leader of a team of four developers, designed and developed a commission system to calculate payments to brokers. Application consists of an ASP.NET front end, written in C#, with business logic deployed as Transact-SQL stored procedures in a SQL Server 2005 database. Primarily responsible for overall application design and data modeling, as well as implementing most of the back-end business rules. Implemented numerous reports using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

Also responsible for performing maintenance and enhancements on the legacy commission system, written in PowerBuilder 9 and Oracle 7/8.

Converted Distributed PowerBuilder components to VB.NET components deployed on a COM server, and running against an Oracle 9i database. Used Sybase DataWindow.NET to leverage business rules embedded in legacy code.

Developed solutions for diverse programming scenarios in C#.NET, employing object-oriented programming concepts such as; encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction.

As team leader, designed and developed a multi-tiered IT Recruiter Placement Application, similar to Monster.com web site, with the capabilities to post jobs, search jobs and query reports. Project included building a Windows based front-end interface for managing the system and database. Created administrative security levels for different users, and wrote stored procedures. Technologies utilized included: C#.NET, SQL Server 2000, Transact-SQL, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Web Services, COM+ and HTML.

Developed a Windows n-tiered "Public Library Management System" application and then ported the application to a dynamic ASP.NET Internet/Intranet model utilizing the same secure middle tier data access components. Non-public web pages were secured using Windows integrated and ASP.NET forms security models.

Used C#.NET and ADO.NET to define and implement secure middle-tier components using both connected and disconnected environment strategies. Components were consumed by web applications and windows applications utilizing SQL Server and stored procedures to perform logical business transactions.

Created and deployed XML Web Services using ASP.NET. Consumed Web Services from both Windows forms and ASP.NET web applications.

Created complex business components in C#.NET using .NET Class Library assemblies while migrating and implementing them in a multi-tier environment suitable for Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and COM+ to address application infrastructure issues associated with building scalable enterprise level applications used by many clients.

Created deployment projects for .NET applications using Microsoft's MSI packages.

Performed enhancements on OMS, a magazine layout and composition system written in PowerBuilder 9, to improve the performance of image rendering and page manipulation routines. Added several reports using Sybase EAServer as an application middle tier.

Using Java 1.4 and JAXB, enhanced the XML interface between OMS and BOSS, an ad sales tracking system. Instituted new procedures for using PVCS version control.

Performed enhancements on APEX, a fixed income trading system, to improve compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley audit and security requirements. Made extensive improvements to the tracking of bond quality ratings and sector classification schemes within the application. Responsible for dozens of minor corrections and enhancements to the system. APEX was written in PowerBuilder 6.5 and converted to PowerBuilder 9, running against Sybase ASE 12.

Performed maintenance and enhancements on a vending machine servicing application. Identified numerous errors and performance issues not originally identified in project scope. Also performed enhancements to an inventory system to allow users to define relationships between PBG and Pepsi North America products. Applications were written in PowerBuilder 6.5, running against both Oracle 9i and Sybase ASE 12.

Designed and developed an application to automate distribution and tracking of vendor shipments. Written in PowerBuilder 8 on Windows 98, against an Oracle 8.1 database running on UNIX. Database was converted to Oracle 9i after initial deployment. Batch processes were written in either COBOL or Oracle PL/SQL using SQL Navigator, and executed using UNIX shell scripts.

Designed and developed an asset management application to be used to automate purchasing decisions, track orders, and manage inventory. Application was written in PowerBuilder 7 on Windows NT, against a Sybase 11.x database running on UNIX, using a Delphinus-designed custom 3-tier application framework (originally developed for another client), to which client-side support for the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm was added. Application was designed to allow easy conversion to a browser-client interface.

Designed and implemented a distributed architecture for an existing lease origination application. Initial project assignment involved performing performance and architecture improvements to the original application, written in written in PowerBuilder 6.5 on Windows 95, and deployed against a Sybase 11.x database on UNIX.

Project evolved into re-designing system to support reuse of existing business logic by both PowerBuilder and HTML/ASP (Web) clients. This was accomplished by developing modular business components and deploying them to a Distributed PowerBuilder (DPB) server. ASP access was provided through custom COM bridge objects, written in PowerBuilder and deployed under MTS.

Subsequent deployment effort involved the migration of PowerBuilder clients to Version 7.0, and conversion of the server objects to run under a Sybase Enterprise Application Server (EAServer/Jaguar CTS), using a Delphinus-designed, custom 3-tier application framework. New components were written in Java and deployed to EAServer. ASP pages were modified to directly access EAServer via COM. Migration was undertaken as part of a company-wide effort to establish a uniform middle tier to host common business logic across applications.

Provide application design and development services to numerous business clients. Projects include:

Designed and implemented a commercially successful software product to assist trade unions and public pensions with the administration of member benefits. Written in PowerBuilder, and designed to work using either a Sybase or an Oracle database server, the system is (as of mid-1998) in its third version, with five completed installations and six others in progress.

Version 1 was originally written using PowerBuilder 4, and featured:

Version 2 was updated to PowerBuilder 5, and featured:

Version 3 featured:

Personally responsible for all aspects of Version 1 system, from application and database design, to development and testing, and finally installation at two clients. Responsibility for subsequent versions gradually shifted to an emphasis on application and database design, with extensive development involving database stored procedures.

Designed and implemented systems for various facets of retail operation. Client/server projects include inventory analysis tools (PowerBuilder/XDB) and foreign store operations (PowerBuilder/WATCOM).

Mainframe projects on the IBM System 390 included automatic distribution (COBOL 2), demographic store allocations (COBOL 2/DB2/CICS), sales analysis (COBOL 2/DB2/CICS) and reporting (COBOL 2/DB2), and operations support (COBOL 2/DB2).
