Work History

The Cleveland Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (July 2008 - present)

Ruby on Rails Software Engineer – Lead Role

• Designed, developed, and deployed a web-based request management system which acts as a unified entry

point for investigator inquiries across multiple healthcare institutions in the Cleveland area

• Received experience in the full software development life cycle Met directly with the customers to obtain

precise need requirements Determined how to effectively integrate requirements into the system

• Worked extensively with the Ruby on Rails development environment and supporting languages including

Ruby, CSS, HTML, and Javascript for both front-end and back-end design in an agile-like setting

• Ported development version of the web-based request management system from a Mac OS / MySQL platform

to a deployment platform featuring Microsoft Windows 2003 Server and Microsoft SQL Server

Case Western Reserve University Center for Proteomics and Bioinformatics (July 2008 - present)

System Administrator

• Administrated existing data management system through tasks such as direct command-line MySQL

database updates and SSL certificate renewal for Apache-Tomcat Server

Case Western Reserve University CaMIMI Group (July 2007 - July 2008)

Ruby on Rails Web Application Developer

• Contributed to the design of the CaMIMI system by developing and implementing an interactive web-based

tool for instrument scheduling using Ruby on Rails, dynamic HTML, CSS, Javscript, Ruby, and AJAX

• Designed and implemented a custom, web-based “windows-explorer-like” file downloading interface,

integrated a Java-based file uploading application into the CaMIMI system as an applet, and ported the

corresponding back-end server logic from Python to Ruby

• Attended weekly meetings with the customer for hands-on experience in the software development life cycle

Case Western Reserve University Center for Imaging Research (August 2005 - July 2007)

Python Web Application Engineer – Lead Role

• Created MIMI (lead role in the scope, design, implementation and deployment), a novel web-based

informatics infrastructure for disseminating imaging data and simultaneously managing administrative

aspects such as scheduling instruments, generating reports, and creating invoices

• Designed and implemented Python-based server-side scripts that handled client-side requests and were

completely responsible for GUI generation with HTML, CSS, and Javascript

• Created a custom Java application and its supporting Python-based server logic that enabled seamless

multiple file uploads to a firewall protected data server through a web-accessible intermediary server node via

TCP / IP socket communication Also developed the complementary interface for file downloads with an

automated thumbnail preview feature for images

• Worked on-site and interacted with customer’s staff and clientele regarding system requirements

Case Western Reserve University Center for Imaging Research (June 2005 - August 2005)

DICOM Software Engineering Consultant
