Designed, developed and implemented multiple software, hardware systems and frameworks to include the following;
- SmartWorksTM (Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) -- Framework). This framework enables business systems to act on data with no regard to the source and location of the needed data sets. Its implementation: (a) Minimize the impact of changes in technology and middleware. (b) Decouple business systems to reduce the effect of changes in one business system to others. (c) Support a single logical image of global/enterprise data regardless of how and where data are physically stored. (d) Allow programmers to concentrate on business problems rather than middleware complexities. (e) Provide a flexible and consistent programming interface. Provide supports for delivery services such as On-line transactions, On-line non-transactional Store and Forward, Publish & Subscribe, Broadcast/Event Notification and Batch.
- EPC compliant RFID enabled refrigerator -- This prototype refrigerator features intelligent inventory sensing and reporting elements (TAGSYS RFID Reader and Integrated Antenna/Shelves, Integrated Touch Screen Monitor, State--of--the-Art inventory management/tracking and security software (SureCountTM) capable of determining counterfeit products along with who removed or replaced what and when. In addition the unit is IP enabled to support centralized management and control.
- Redundant VoIP network, utilizing cutting-edge IP technology capable of riding on some of the world's premier internet backbone networks. This robust, state-of-the-art design guarantees reliable, inexpensive, toll-quality communications to any point on the globe. Based on this infrastructure, organizations such as Cotran Telecommunications, LLC (COTeL) (http://www.cotrantelecom.com) is able to provide a wide catalog of value-added broadband products and services to customers who require reliable transmission capacity and end-to-end VoIP connectivity. The implementation includes software solutions that enables the clustering of multiple Soft switches / PBX systems for reliability and speed, the creation of reseller accounts with limited menu access for resale of VOIP services, the creation of agents for commissioned resale of services, the management of user/subscribers across multiple servers, the integration with payment gateways (PayPal, Authorize.net etc), the Automatic creation of accounts after payment, the automatic creation of free limited access accounts, clients and agents are able to login into their own interface to change common settings, post-pay bill customers, pre-pay bill customers, the association of trunks to multiple providers, management of unlimited numbers of customer accounts down to the individual codec/protocol.
- HIPAA compliant tele-medicine application that allow primary care physicians to wavelet compress, forward encrypt, display and transmit via the Internet/Secure VPN dermatological images integrated with reports and annotations to a centralized location for consultation and interpretation by a board certified dermatologist. This application incorporates HL7 (Health Level 7 Standards, tele-medicine compliant browser plug-in capable of transforming a standard browser equipped computer (Wintel or Mac) into a tele-medicine compliant workstation. This application enables a clinician to easily assemble a consultation, including demographics, images, video, audio, studies and scanned documents. This browser plug-in controls cameras, scanners, and other data acquisition devices directly, eliminating the need for additional programs. An HL7 compliant back-end interface enables billing and tele-dermatology consultations. These features along with Internet-based services - web-based chat, email, and discussion groups - help foster communications and collaboration between dermatologists and their affiliated primary care physicians. Supported by this application, a dermatologist is able to provide affiliated primary care physicians with Dermatological consultation services regardless of their geography.
Professional affiliations include memberships in the American Tele-Medicine Association (ATA), IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM).
