OBJECTIVES AND SKILLS

I am a software developer with 13

years of experience and now I am seeking a position that can

leverage my skills and provide new challenges. In my career, I

have built several web application frameworks and e-commerce

platforms, and my specialty has been the server side of

those projects, transforming hardware and software into products

and services. My strengths are a broad and deep technical

background, a commitment to getting things done, disciplined

programming and debugging skills in many languages, experience

building and supporting high volume production server environments

and applications, database design and administration, motivated

self starting, good communication and interpersonal skills,

learning things fast, team building, leadership and project

management.

Director

of Technology and Engineering

Senior developer and team

leader building an auction based platform for search engine,

link, banner and video advertising handling 1M+ ad clicks and ad

impressions daily in partnership with companies like AOL, Google

and Yahoo.

We developed a flexible OO

PHP5 Web Services architecture with an AJAX/Javascript UI, and

extensive use of XML for defining configuration and

functionality, such as dynamic SQL generation and a batch data

processing and video transcoding pipeline. We built a scalable

and distributed system for high traffic and constant

availability.

Responsible for core

development, databases, billing systems, source code control,

organizing builds and approving deployments, data mining and

reports, firefighting, backup for on-call sysadmin

rotation, hiring and interviewing.

AJAX, XML, XSLT, ffmpeg.

2000

2004 Accretive Technology Group Seattle, WA

Senior

Software Engineer

Developed, deployed,

and supported a credit card billing system used internally and by

customers.

I wrote the transaction

processing engine, web based statistics and reporting, and most

of the other back end tools and accounting interfaces single

handedly. I was responsible for design and specifications,

development, testing, system administration and leading the rest

of the team.

Starting from scratch, built a

team of 3 other developers for the project. I was responsible

for task delegation, project tracking, hiring and training and

performance evaluations.

Additionally developed credit

card billing, accounting, database administration, statistics and

customer support tools for various web sites delivering pay per

view real time streaming video.

As a side project, created an

anti password sharing module in C for the Apache web server

Developed in Java and deployed

on Sparc servers running Solaris 8 and Oracle. Some tools were

built in Delphi and deployed on Windows, connecting to the same

database.

Tools: Java, Oracle PL/SQL,

Hibernate, Freemarker

1998

2000 Microstate Corporation Fairfax, VA

Software

Engineer

Developed Hamilton, a

custom web application framework that used a web based GUI to

combine templates and re-useable components written in Java that

dynamically generated HTML and Javascript to build and manage web

sites instead of writing raw HTML. With that, we built CMS and

web application servers to deliver self-managed database-driven

websites for customers.

Responsible for developing the

framework itself as well as reusable components for web

applications such as email, shopping catalogs, auctions and

shopping carts, graphing financial data, internationalization and

content management systems for our customers.

Tools: Java/J2EE, Servlets,

JSP, Freemarker, Postgres, Hamilton

1996

1998 CyberCash Reston, VA

Software

Engineer

CyberCash was one of

the first Internet based credit card processing services.

I was the lead software

engineer responsible for building a robust, secure C++

client/server E-Commerce application which handled over a million

transactions per month for thousands of customers. We wrote

almost everything from scratch, including web serving,

networking, cryptographic and database libraries and it was

ported to all the major UNIX platforms and Windows NT. For

example, one component I built was a custom RFC compliant web

server.

I went on to develop a

prototype implementation of SET (another E-Commerce system) for a

joint partnership with IBM, Netscape and Toshiba. I was the lead

engineer representing the CyberCash team. This project involved

travel to San Francisco, India and Japan, and on-site

collaboration with the other companies during the development,

integration and deployment process. My team won an internal

achievement award for the on-time, on-budget completion of this

project.

Tools: C++, C, Oracle, Raima,

gcc, gdb, Insure++, RogueWave and RSA libraries.

1995

1996 CommerceWave Carlsbad, CA

Software

Engineer

As a student on summer

break, I worked as a consultant to develop an Internet based

credit card processing application for CyberCash. I converted it

from a proof of concept written in Perl into a C++ application,

and was hired by CyberCash to develop it as a product based on

that work.

Rapid development schedule (3

months from prototype to first live deployment)

Integrated CyberCash

technology into early E-Commerce sites, such as Wired.com.

Tools: C++, C, Perl
