Company: Peddinghaus Corp. January 2017 to Present Senior Software Engineer.

Description: Worked as a leader, supervisor, and developer for improving efficiency of the growing software department and customer base. Worked with a team for 3 developers. The project was accomplished in multiple stages and the work is still in progress – efficient installer, efficient software download, efficient software upgrade, efficient licensing process, efficient sales process, efficient bug tracking system, and efficient integration. Below is detailed explanation:-

● Efficient installer – The product needed quite a bit of pre-install software like SQL, .Net framework, Open cascade, etc. An installation software in .NET C# using WIX was created and tested in various environments.

● Efficient Software download – A website was designed for the customer to register and get the software installer and update logs.

● Efficient Software upgrade – Option from within the application to look for updated, download, and install was added. This included SQL table, stored procedure, and view upgrading scripts too.

● Efficient licensing process – An application to use the 3rd party licensing API to generate licenses was made. All the existing licenses and future licenses are stored in Azure now.

● Efficient sales process – An application (.NET C#) which takes few inputs to generate quote for software sale.

● Efficient bug tracking system – Bugzilla set up with different authorizations for company service, software department service, and software engineers. Bugs, as well as customer requests are tracked in it. This replaced Excel.

● Efficient integration – API optimization and documentation for our in-house software Raptor so other software partners could use our API.

Automation of production and centralized data: Current project as a developer is to be able to store the production information (both pre-production and post-production) in a centralized location so the machine line with multiple machines can be run from a central location and the processed material can be sorted and dispatched accordingly. Late generate reports based on the production data.

Environment: .Net, C#, Visual Studio, SQL Server, Windows XP, Windows 10, Open Cascade, Siemens control, ASP

.NET, Azure, Bugzilla, SVN, Could Forge, WIX, Crypto Licensing, Excel, HTTP, REST. Company: Peddinghaus Corp. June 2012 to October 2016 Advanced Software Engineer.

Description: Worked on a 3-D in-house CAM software – Raptor. It is a windows application which runs on Windows PC and Siemens Windows controls. Peddinghaus Corporation makes machines for structural steel fabrication. The application is used to design steel construction parts and / or import the parts from other prominent design software (using their API and file standards) and then generate machine readable code (CNC) to process the steel parts in machines made by the company. Worked on this project with other 8 software engineers on planning, execution, testing, monthly and half yearly scrum release cycles, source code management, code review, installer, presentations in shows, etc. Summary:

● Planning the software with UML diagrams and documentation of already existing software.

● Worked on user interface to design new parts with interactive images and data grids.

● Worked on user interface to import parts from industry standard software (using their API) with customized options.

● Worked on user interface to import parts from file industry standards, and all the options while importing.

● Worked on export of parts in our own XML standard – user interface, export, and testing.

● Worked on SQL to save the parts created and imported – Relational database table design, SQL queries from windows application, SQL views, SQL stored procedures, using views and stored procedures from windows application.

● Worked on generating machine readable code (CNC) to run various drilling, scribing, marking and cutting machines.

● Worked on design and implementation of user interface to specify the setup for each machine.

● Worked on option to import and export settings in XML format and the user interface for the same.

● Testing and bug fixing for all the above.

● Was involved in code reviews, testing locally, testing at customers, demo of software, training of new software engineers as the department grew, training of software trainers and service personnel, etc. Environment: .Net, C#, Visual Studio, SQL Server, Windows XP, Windows 10, Open Cascade, Siemens control, VB
