Senior Software Engineering Consultant. Liquent/Thompson Publishing. May 2003-- May 2005
Evaluated the feasibility of extending the product lifetime of the existing regulatory publishing system comprised of a complex mixture of C/C++ using COM/DCOM by building a new business logic/interface layer over the existing Versant Object Oriented database layer. Designed a compound document publishing architecture for regulatory submissions capable of handling very large multi-document FDA regulatory drug approval submissions and moving them through the publishing as well as partial re-publishing process. Created a UML model of the system including static, use-case, and sequence models. Implemented the corresponding C++ interfaces (Abstract Base Classes) that expressed the publishing system's architecture. Programmed several of the sub-components required by the system in C++, STL, including an XML based internal messaging architecture, and the core compound document sequencing component. Prototyped a C#/ASP.NET web-based interface. Developed an multi-modular XSLT based XML submission transformation tool that pushed the limits of XSLT and produced regulatory compliant XML output outline as defined by the FDA DTD for Electronic Drug Submissions -- which was stabilizing during the design and coding process requiring re-factoring during development.

Web Application Development Consultant. The Multicultural Advantage. September 2002 -- May 2003
Designed and developed a directory publishing application for creating, modifying and publishing searchable organization/contact directories.

Development Consultant. Sony Music, Inc. July 2002 -- September 2002.
Collaborated with the client to define the requirements for an enterprise performance monitoring and reporting application to be used by upper management; designed the application using an MVC (Model View Control) architecture that promotes a clear separation of the presentation, business logic and data access tiers; created the UML diagrams to capture the architecture of the system. Designed and developed the application, in Java with a JSP/Servlet front end and JDBC and data access objects to access the Oracle back end, using modular data access and business logic components, in such a way that it is easily extensible and re-configurable in nature. Developed the SQL code that queries an Oracle star schema reporting database as well as the Oracle enterprise transaction database (for generating reports on current transactions). Designed a drill-down user interface that employs URL rewriting techniques to enable authorized users to refine and finally retrieve the specific desired reports.

Project Manager. The Associated Press Infrastructure Development Group. March 2001 -- April 2002.
Initiated and promoted a problem definition methodology, involving an in-depth consultation process with senior editors at facilities around the world, to discover a solution for replacing existing editorial systems with an integrated international content management solution. Lead the requirements definition process and authored the requirements document for the AP Photo Editorial System. Designed the APDoc XML schema format, which lies at the core of various internal AP server products that use it as the intermediating form, while transforming content from one form, protocol and data store to others. Managed the Infrastructure Development Group, responsible for maintaining and extending the APServerNT -- a C++ / DCOM short-term, searchable, cost-effective archive and satellite delivery system, for news photo assets that is distributed to member newspapers and other AP customers; Directed the development efforts of infrastructure team. Developed technical software designs and requirements as well as code-reviewed the C++ (DCOM), Java, ASP, XML, XSLT code produced by team members. Architected and managed the development of the Headline news server which significantly added to the ability of the Associated Press to serve up its headline news products -- in multiple flavors of client specific HTML and NewsML for web clients and directly feed a customer website (or staging site) -- via ftp -- with an automatically self-updating flow of relevant news-media items (such as photos, stories, video etc) and the result HTML pages that mark them up -- with timely, site-specific content, layout and “look and feel”. Enabled the Associated Press to begin offering new value added product lines by leading the design and development of the PackageListener server, which automatically sequences incoming news assets so that output from the system occurred as discrete sequenced packages and be managed remotely. Evaluated the feasibility of the utilization of the Microsoft dot-Net architecture for upcoming projects.

Recruited and managed a team of seven C++ developers. Designed and lead the development of a very fast generic real-time in memory database that was scalable across a multi-machine architecture, written in C++/STL and developed in a componentized fashion -- using DCOM. The system was characterized by three distinct functional tiers -- a data-object, a data-object access, and an exposed process or agent tier -- these worked in unison (along with system agents) to create, a scalable active real-time-in-memory data base for time critical information. The system was used for serving real time stock market information -- specifically Comstock level I and level II market data taken directly from a satellite feed.

Senior Engineering Consultant. Microsoft February 1997 -- May 1999.
Designed and developed a generic and extensible RDBMS to XML translation software component written in C++/STL (and packaged as an ATL/COM object) that enabled the import/export of data from an Oracle (or SQL) database into an easily consumed/produced XML format. Designed and developed the XML relational-data-representation and definition schema, that presented a generic get and set interface invoked with the stored procedure name and the URL for the XML result or in the case of import into the database the XML dataset + data-descriptor source. It created an XML data descriptor for the job according to the stored procedure name. The system was designed for dynamic self-initialization and new stored procedures and their attendant XML data-descriptors could easily be registered with it enabling the tool to extend its functionality in this manner. Designed and developed a self-configuring generic logging, and messaging tool using C++/STL/XML (packaged as a COM object) that was used by sidewalk.com (at that time a Microsoft web property). The tool successfully replaced a plethora of different logging, reporting and messaging systems with a single common interface. It produced standardized XML output and initiated alarming based on configurable initialization data, which itself was XML based.
