(January '08 Present)Implemented an ASP.NET 2.0 web page in C# to function as a bridge between SharePoint 2007 bridge and KnowledgeBin's proprietary document management library. The bridge inserts documents into SharePoint from KnowledgeBin to allow customers to include the documents in their SharePoint workspaces, workflows, and other internal SharePoint processes.Architected and implemented an ASP.NET 3.5 e-commerce storefront for Author Solutions, Inc. in Bloomington, IN using C#, Commerce Server 2007, and jQuery on behalf of Innovative Architects. The site, viewable at http://www.iuniverse.com/, provides self-publishing services to authors and a storefront where self-published authors' works are sold. The application has touch points with SalesForce.com through a BizTalk 2006 R2 backend. Additionally authored custom pipeline components that provide integration with PayPal and UPS for payment and shipping calculations and with a custom WCF exposed BTS service for tax calculation. (April '08 January '08)Implemented BizTalk 2006 R2 EDI solution and ASP.NET 2.0 web interface for BWay designer and producer a comprehensive line of rigid metal and plastic containers for the growing general line category of the North American container industry to allow them to better integrate with their partner Sherwin Williams and to facilitate migration of their current systems to a new service-oriented architecture. (March '08 June 08)Designed and developed an ASP.NET 2.0 e-commerce storefront for Siemens Water Technologies using Commerce Server 2007 and SharePoint 2007 on behalf of Innovative Architects. Solution was comprised of ASP.NET pages and web parts written in C#, built upon Commerce Server 2007 framework and hosted within SharePoint 2007. Solution had integrated authentication between Commerce Server and SharePoint and allowed users to retrieve documentation and images from SharePoint based upon the product(s) at which they were looking by extending the document library to support meta-tags associated with Commerce Server data. Code included custom pipeline components for payment authorization, tax computation, and shipping costs. (Sept '07 Feb '08)Developed a windows printer monitor in C++ for KnowledgeBin, a digital paper solutions company. The print monitor runs at a low-level within Windows and intercepts print jobs to a specified printer. When a job is intercepted, the user is then prompted to information about that job into a dialog. The dialog itself hosts Internet Explorer (MSHTML) and retrieves pages for gathering information specific to the user performing the print job. Once the user has entered the information, that information is embedded into the PostScript stream and forwarded to a CUPS printer on the backend that will then file the document based on the meta-information gathered from the user. (Sept '07)Provided architecture assessment and support of BizTalk 2004 implementation for Jabil an electronic product solutions company providing comprehensive electronics design, manufacturing and product management services on behalf of Microsoft partnered with Innovative Architects. Served a support role of Jabil's existing team while they prepared for a migration from BizTalk 2004 to BizTalk 2006. Authored BizUnit test scripts to validate new BizTalk 2006 functionality, authored deployment automation scripts for both 2004 and 2006 solutions, and stream-lined existing 2004 infrastructure for use as a base-line requirement for the 2006 migration and implementation.

(Dec '06 Mar '07, July '07 Sept 07)Analyzed a series of Visual Basic 6.0 applications used internally by the LPGA on behalf of Thoughtmill. The focus of the analysis was to determine the maintainability of the existing code base and the level of effort required to move the code base from disparate Visual Basic 6.0 thick client applications to a .NET 2.0enterprise web application. Metrics analyzed included dead code, cyclomatic complexity, structural fan-in, meaningful comments per line of code, and others. (Oct. 06 Nov '06)Architected and implemented ASP.NET 2.0 web portal for SPI Dynamics on behalf of Thoughtmill for their services division. The portal allows customers of SPI Dynamics to request and/or schedule security assessments of their website(s) permitting SPI Dynamics to work closely with their clients. Additionally, the application takes a strong approach to data security and utilizes client and server side validation, data-type checking, and parameterized queries and stored procedures to reduce the attack surface. SPI Dynamic's DevInspect toolkit was used to further reduce the attack surface. (Sept '06 Feb '07)Developed ASP.NET 2.0 application on behalf of Thoughtmill to be used by the Illinois Department of Public Health as part of their Healthcare Worker Background Check program.

The application is now available at http://www.meadowsdesign.com/AddRemoveCleaner.zip.Worked with a team to convert an existing Chemistry courseware application into a web portal for textbook and courseware delivery for McGraw-Hill Publishers. Primary responsibility was the extraction of hard-coded questions from the Visual Basic application for database inclusion.
