EXPERIENCE


5/07 - Present
CONSUMER SERVICES STARTUP
Principal Engineer (Bay Area, California)
This company's SOA-based commerce platform plays a critical role in the back-end processing of leading financial services companies. I worked closely with product marketing and client-side engineers to conceive and bring to to market a record 7 months. This app uses a server directed polling protocol and background delivery of data to provide an ultra-responsive user experience even in disconnected environments. In addition to co-designing the wire protocol for delivering content and software updates to in-field devices, I was responsible for implementing layers that that took care of logging, error handling, server software revision agnostic (backward/forward compatible) JMS message processing, distributed cache management, and hooks into our notification engine (using a Tomcat/Spring/Hibernate stack.)

A colleague and I rewrote the server side build system from the ground-up using Maven and Hudson. We tightly integrated JMeter (for performance monitoring) and used Canoo for in-container testing and Apache James / HSQLDB / ActiveMQ for mocking and reduction of manual setup dependencies. The quality of our builds (in terms of minimal number of breakages, code coverage reporting, auto-generated spring wiring diagrams and UML-enhanced javadoc) was unmatched in our organization.


4/06 - 3/07
MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK FIRM
Director, Platform Engineering (Cupertino, California)
Led a group of 8 developers working in 3 locations (India and US) in the delivery of 2 releases of company'ss backend platform for serving applications and content to mobile devices. Led design of data model and deployment infrastructure. Implemented (in Spring/Hibernate/Xfire) web services and servlet filter-based facilities for propagation of request contexts to web services invoked by platform, multi-protocol support based on DB storage/retrieval of metadata that enabled dynamic compression of XML to company's proprietary binary format.

Developed an Xforms and Ruby-on-rails-based mobile apps for RSS. Designed and implemented facilities to register and apply both XSLT and JSP based transformations to customize content stream to/from web services invoked by platform. Conceived and co-wrote 'requzilla', a lightweight requirements management tool that synch'd information between Wiki and bugzilla work items.


3/03-2/06
SIEBEL SYSTEMS
Staff Engineer (San Mateo, California)
Led a team of 5 engineers in productizing a C# prototype of the model layer of an Eclipse-based tooling framework. This layer provides a search/read/write API over the XML repository that defines the configuration metadata for Siebel applications and business processes. (This project involved light use of MS Visual Studio to debug into C#).

Co-developed the product specification for Siebel Component Assembly's (SCA) deployment subsystem. Led the design and implementation of the UI (SWT/JFace), co-designed SCA's plug-in based deployment engine, and designed/implemented the metadata packager and publisher plug-ins for this engine, as well as a the SessionBean-based "differencing service" that determines what metadata needs to be deployed (Java / Eclipse / J2EE).

As a member of Siebel's UAN (Universal Application Network) team, designed and implemented a reference implementation of the UAN platform using a 3rd party BPEL engine (Collaxa, now an Oracle company), Apache Axis, and Xalan extensions to XSLT.
