A position in an environment where I can be a leader in helping guide the architectural design and development of advanced modern applications for web and multi-tiered PC deployment. Any position I would consider must offer me the opportunity to work on diverse projects, use modern technologies and concepts and allow me to play an important leadership role in application development in general. I am not at this point in my life interested in a purely managerial position, although I do look for the opportunity to continually gain experience in that realm. In the same vein, I am not looking to strictly be an architect as I still enjoy coding a great deal. Therefore, any position I would consider would have to offer me a good balance of all three of these disciplines.

Chief Architect and Lead Developer
on the Universal Transfer Of Assets (UTOA) project. This is a Java-based application utilizing
Struts, which is a system for tracking asset transfer requests. This system includes complex print output
utilizing a custom XML report template processor, an abstraction layer that
allows for transparent communication with numerous back-end systems
(mainframe-based and PC-based), J2EE security, and a very rich web-based GUI
environment for end users. This project
also involves business analysis, detailed specification writing and
coordination of team members to implement those specifications, which I am
responsible for. This application is
hosted on WebSphere in a clustered environment and uses Oracle for its
operational data store.
*
Chief Architect and Lead Developer
on the Complex Corporate Actions project.
This was a high-priority $7.5 million web-based system fronting a
mainframe-based system for processing complex investment holding
modifications. I performed detailed
business analysis, system design and programming using a custom web framework
(later converted to Struts) as well as managed a team of developers to complete
this critical initiative.
*
Mentor to a team re-architecting an
existing servlet-based web application to a Struts application utilizing J2EE
security and hosted on WebSphere.
*
Member of a team charged with
bringing our organizations main line-of-business application to the web. This project involved advanced J2EE server
technologies and mainframe integration.
*
Team member involved in creating a
corporate portal which serves as a common entry point to all our organizations
applications. This project included
development work on our J2EE-based framework for application development (later
converted to Struts), standards-development for future application
architectures and look-and-feel, direction setting for web development
strategies and mentoring of junior team members.
*
Chief Web Architect and Lead
Developer of IPAccess, a high-traffic mission-critical mainframe-to-web
integration system. This was a complete
life-cycle effort involving extensive requirements and specifications
documentation, team coordination, project management, quality assurance testing
and very advanced technological development both client and server-side (dHTML,
JScript, IWT, XML).
*
Team member on the OEP/ImpressNet
project. My team developed an addition
to our corporation’s front-line web product.
It mainly involved Microsoft server technologies including ActiveX, ASP,
IIS as well as IBM WebTemplates and XML/XSL for the presentation layer. I was responsible for the Unix-based Web
Services portion of this initiative and I also consulted on general design and
development.
*
TechQuest member. TechQuest is a group of recognized experts in
various disciplines charged with exploring and implementing advanced
technologies within our organization.
*
Developed a Java-based middleware
system utilizing XML, XSLT and IBM’s CTG technology to allow service-based
calls to arbitrary programs running in a CICS environment on the host.
*
Developed a secure HTTP-based file
transfer system for moving sensitive data around the Internet.
*
PIAS (PowerImage Archive
System). I helped architect and fully
programmed this Windows-based document imaging archiving system that saves the
company in excess of $35,000 per month while improving upon the retrieval
capabilities of the system it replaced.
*
I designed and developed an Intranet
for our King of Prussia location, which included an online purchase request
system, HR documentation library, self-maintaining NDS-based phone list,
customizable personal portal, online timesheet entry and workflow management
tools.
*
Initial web presence. I created the first “brochureware” web site
for FPS Services in 1996.
*
Payment System. I helped design and fully programmed a
mission-critical Windows-based multi-tier, multi-user transaction processing
system for “back office” operations. It
has been in use over 5 years.
*
Statements. I developed a system to create complex
quarterly customer reports in print-ready format.
*
I also designed and programmed
numerous applications including daily mutual fund pricing utilities, automated
accounting MS Office modules and Internet-aware data manipulation systems.
Omnytex Technologies is a small organization I started which develops and sells various software products for PocketPC-based handheld computers. All development is in Embedded Visual C++. A number of my products have been nominated for awards from authoritative sources.
I designed and implemented a LAN for this
store as well as upgraded PCs for their new shipping software.
I am involved in a number of open-source
community projects including frequent contributions to the Struts,
In July of 2006, my first book was
published, titled “Practical Ajax Projects with Java Technologies”. I have also authored a number of independent articles
on a range of topics including an introduction to DataVision, how to integrate
Major: Computer Science/Software
Engineering - Minor: Business Management/Business Administration
I have achieved straight A’s in all my CS
courses. My education is ongoing and
part-time and I continue to work towards by CS degree.
New York Institute of Technology,
9/91-12/92, Degree: N/A
Major: Computer Science - Minor: Electrical
Engineering
I could not complete my degree due to financial constraints but I did maintain a strong B average while I attended (straight A's in all Computer Science courses).
What I bring to the table above all other
things is creativity and diversity. My
base of knowledge is extremely far-reaching, which allows me to attack problems
from many different angles and to envision solutions that most others
cannot. I am never content to use
strictly one development tool or one set of skills. I make a supreme effort to constantly learn
new things and to put that new knowledge to work in a variety of projects. I am a results-oriented professional with
over 20 years of programming experience and general computer experience. I can
work equally well with a team as I can on my own in an unsupervised
environment. I have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and am
well regarded by my peers, mentoring them and supporting them when appropriate.
I take a great deal of pride in delivering solutions that help fulfill a
business need and provides the organization with tools that help it enhance its
competitive edge. My experience as
listed here I believe bears out that I am top-notch generalist, yet with a
depth of knowledge in many areas that is better than many, that can tackle any
challenge thrown at me and succeed where others would fail. In addition, I am a proven leader and mentor
to those working under me, in short: a unique blend of management ability and
superior technical ability!
