Decision Support System
Physiological based testing based system including heuristically driven decision support with technologies including Asp.Net, C#, Sql Server, Telerik RAD Ajax controls, Linq-to-Sql, and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Database access to both Sql Server and Oracle, the implementation of SSAS cubes and Bayesian heuristics designed to derive an average deviation for decision support.
Service Tracking and Document Management
Health Care based service tracking site with technologies including Asp.Net, C#, Sql Server, Ajax Toolkit, Telerik RAD Ajax controls, Linq-to-Sql, and Windows Communication Foundation. A clear separation of tiers, using an SOA ‘Provider Model’ approach for scalability and future mapping to a planned ASP business model, was implemented with a ‘Service Provider’ tier using Windows Communication Foundation as the Singleton Provider to the internal web application and the planned ASP model. A custom security model was built to provide ‘Group-Role’ based access to components, patients and functionality.
eCommerce Development
Commerce based site including Asp.Net, C#, Sql Server, Ajax Toolkit and Commerce Server 2007 to market instructional and educational media. On a limited basis, Windows Communication Foundation was coupled with the Ajax Toolkit for enhanced user experience. Complete .Net Security and Membership components provided a membership model with Commerce Server 2007 used as the product presentation handler utilizing custom extensions to the MS Commerce Components Library.

Sr. Technical Lead / Architect - Web Development Feb `02 - Oct `08
Significant .Net projects, as Architect and Project Technical Lead, using Microsoft technologies including .Net 1.0 to 3.5, C#, Asp.Net, .Net Web Services, Windows Communication Foundation, Enterprise Library, Windows Workflow Foundation, Sharepoint Portal Server and Sharepoint Services, Commerce Server, Content Management Server, MSMQ, .Net Remoting, and SQL Server. Other technologies include Oracle, UML/RUP, Infragistics NetAdvantage, NUnit and NUnitAsp.
Most Significant Projects:
Workflow Based Architecture and System Development
Architect and technical lead to develop a system based on a broker patterned construct and designed after the state-machine and service broker systems. The implementation combined web services (WCF) and state-machine workflows as an autonomous Service Orientation solution to manage the asynchronous communication between disparate systems, achieving action-result transitions in an event-driven flow. Invoked from client-concentric Ajax calls, an entities ‘status’ would progress through states, each requiring specific programmatic steps, achieved by encapsulating processing within sequential workflows activities.
With the UI design based on Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern, a custom composite server control provided a template-driven display and managed data entities leveraging Enterprise Library polymorphic extensions. Technologies include Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, Web Services, custom SOAP extensions and headers, Enterprise Library, .Net Framework 3.5, Ajax, Sql Server ’05, and Team Systems ’08 in a Vista development environment deployed to a multi-tier Server ’03 platform.
eCommerce Architecture Development
Architect and Develop an extensive web-concentric architecture and database-driven content management system using .Net 2.0 framework, Asp.Net, C# and master pages including a content-driven architecture using custom data providers, custom data-driven site map providers, custom xml/xpath driven providers, and a complete set of custom web controls to leverage and consume the architecture and custom content management system. Additionally, implementation of MS Commerce Server `07 and extensive customization of the MSCS shopping cart and CommerceComponents library to leverage managed content to intranet and extranet .Net sites utilizing architecture extensions and templated web controls. Development of custom MCMS pipelines to complete commerce transactions, calculate applicable taxes and assess formula driven and webservice accessed shipping charges. Xml, Xslt, and Xpath were extensively used to conditionally filter and format content maintained in the content management system.
Logistics Management System Project
Primary responsibilities included Architect and Project Technical Lead on the development of a .Net solution for logistics management of a manufacturing infrastructure hub including C# and Asp.Net, web services for access by suppliers and conversion of some existing VB legacy asp to C# Asp.Net. Developed a highly customized implementation of the new Microsoft .Net Enterprise Library. Created Facade patterned layer around .Net Enterprise Library for use by other developers and Singleton pattern around configuration management. Final phase development (XP Refactoring) and implementation being done in VS 2005 and .Net Framework 2.0.
