? Work Experience
2006-2010 Agfa Healthcare (Formally
Software Engineer Heartlab)
Westerly, RI
My Primary role with Agfa is working with the sustaining engineering team
to address issues that are discovered in our cardiovascular reporting
suite. It is my responsibility to develop an effective solution and ensure
that it is implemented in a future release candidate. This role allows me
to have extensive exposure to Classic ASP, ASP.Net, C#, Java, JavaScript,
XML, SQL and Oracle
Because Agfa is considered a Medical Devices Manufacturer, we are subject
to FDA Regulations. This requires me to occasionally develop a short term
solution to an issue that is discovered in the field. This solution is
deployed as a "Hotfix" to the affected sites until a future release
candidate is published.
Aside from my role as a sustaining engineer, I had worked on enhancements
to our current release as well as next generation releases. The next
generation of our cardiovascular suite will implement .Net 3.0 and 3.5
Framework and make extensive use of WPF, ASP.NET and C#.

I was responsible for migrating a Filemaker database over to
MySql. This database served as the back-end database for an
engineered quotation system for mechanical seals.
Designed and developed a complete plant reliability analysis suite
for use in the Pumping industry. This application included an
engineered quotation system that allowed sales to accurately quote
a mechanical seal that not only replaced the worn seal but
increase the machine up-time hours.
