Assignment History

United Parcel Service (UPS) 06/200910/2010Senior Developer / Technical Lead / Architectural Consultant

Responsible for performing as a technical lead, leading a team of US and Global staff for

the technical aspects of a VB6 to VB.NET Windows Application Migration. I was responsible

for consulting with the UPS architectural team in developing a new multi-tier framework

and approach for migration of a VB6 application. A Phase development / release approach

was requested by UPS. It was recommended that Microsoft s Interop Toolkit would be used to

allow migrated .NET components and forms to work seamlessly with the existing VB6

application. This allowed for a Phase migration and deployment approach.

I also performed as a technical lead for a team of global developers giving Knowledge

transfer session, creating white papers and documentation and giving technical guidance

from QA sessions and code reviews. The global team would interface with me weekly to

address any questions or technical struggles faced during migration.

I also performed as a Senior Developer. UPS had used many 3rd party form controls in the

VB6 application and wanted to replace these functionalities with their own .NET written

custom controls. I was responsible for the design, coding, maintenance and documentation

of these custom user controls which included custom data grids, print engine, custom

panels, labels, buttons and filtered text boxes.

I was also responsible for mapping out, documenting and prototyping an approach to

replace the VB6 oracle database access of oracle objects (oo4o) with either ADO.NET or

ODP.NET. I worked to create a well-documented and easy approach to replace oo4o with

ODP.NET.

Maersk Line Inc. (Maersk Sealand) 12/2004 05/2009

Application Architecture, Development and Support

Responsible for leading a team of US and Global staff for the technical aspects of the

system support and development. Specific components include analysis, design, development,

testing, and ongoing support for application systems. Built strong functional teams

through knowledge transfer, diverse assignments and mentoring. Identify key resource

conflicts and negotiate resolution across projects. Ensure technical design of project and

baseline work is in accordance with Architecture. Utilize reuse and component build where

applicable. Enforce the utilization of accepted methodology & tools in a disciplined

manner.

I was responsible for architecting, designing and developing new .NET based software

applications and support tools as well as specifying and identifying enhancements to

current software application used by Maersk Line s customer resource centers.

The applications I supported include web application, windows application, web services,

windows services and telephony applications written in Microsoft .NET 2.0 and 3.5.

I worked closely with IBM outsourcing development teams to implement these projects. I

was responsible for analyzing business requirements and providing the development team

with software specifications.

I developed a reusable web based software framework for use in building applications for

Maersk. This application framework helped Maersk reduce costs by allowing them to perform

certain maintenance function themselves. It also reduced costs by reducing development

time allowing developers to reuse common components and easily implement security,

performance tracking and audit tracking features into modular functions.

I also developed and implemented some of the first web services used my Maersk Customer

Resources Centers. These web services allow custom applications to easily integrate the

ability to send emails, faxes, retrieve data and log task data.

another consulting company.

Various Clients

02/200206/2004Software Consultant / Architect / Developer

I was a

self-employedconsultant and promoted my business as strictly a .NET development

company. I worked the full life cycle of projects with my clients.

I worked for many difference clients developing many different software packages for

their needs. These include:

1) A Scouting Application used by a major league baseball team. The application functions

as an Enterprise Information Portal where Pro Scouts, Amateur Scouts, Athletic Trainers

and Team Physicians employed by the organization access various program modules pertaining

to players (from amateur status to pro), physical injuries and treatments. Phase 1 is now

complete, which consists of modules for Pro Scouting and Team Scouting reports with full

motion video incorporated. This project is scheduled to consist of at least 5 phases, with

each one adding further functionality and integration with Major League Baseball

headquarters and their central data repository for player statistical data.

2) Developed a multi-lingual VB.NET / ASP.NET portal application with a SQL Server

backend. This application functions as an Enterprise Information Portal where Athletic

Trainers and Team Physicians employed by major sports teams and universities track their

athletes physical injuries, treatments, progress, medications and view their digital x-

rays online via the web and PDA mobile devices. The program was demonstrated to Major

League Baseball teams at spring training of 2003. It was also presented at the NATA

(National Athletic Trainers Association) show in June 2003. The product is currently up

and running with approximately 50 sports teams and universities.

3) Development of a multi-tier ASP.Net portal application utilizing a SQL Server 2000

backend. The application functions as an intranet/extranet portal application that is used

for web based maintenance and monitoring of commercial building security and access

control systems. This application connected to various clients security systems via an

RS232 to Ethernet adapter to allow security system monitoring and changes.

4) Developed a web based system for trouble ticket tracking for the small-to-medium sized

enterprise. It can be used for customer support, bug tracking, trouble ticketing, or any

other purpose for which a group of people need to keep track of a list of tasks. It

features a number of technologies designed to make it easy to keep track of a large number

of tasks, issues and projects. This was used to hook into many of my clients applications

via web services to allow the applications to automatically report troubles and open

trouble tickets.

5) Developed an inventory, shipping & receiving, warehousing application built on the

asp.net platform. It allowed the client to track inventory currently in the warehouse,

create pick slips, bills of lading and delivery invoices. It would automate monthly

storage billing either emails or faxes invoices. Reporting on inventory can be filtered by

client, product, make, color, model and either printed or emailed from the system. Later,

a windows based version of this application was developed that could be run internally

without external access but could also be used externally with an accessible SQL Database.
