Objective: To be the best middle and data tier programmer and stay on the leading edge of design.

Experience

Apex Systems – Wells Fargo Wholesale Technologies.

Contract October 2015 ~ May 2016

The contract focused on mailing and reporting for large commercial mortgages.

This contract focused on Oracle requiring me to bring my Oracle and SQL Server skills to parity.

After becoming familiar with the code I wrote up opinion papers on challenges on moving the various systems to Microsoft Azure.

I finished an MVC website beginning to end where previously I had only worked on the back end processing at the Comdyn / Colefax project. I used open source Dapper in the place of entity framework.

Also during that time I took advantage of training offered by Apex through O’Reilly’s Safari Online. I covered advanced c#, Oracle, Python and neural nets for artificial intelligence.

The project ended prematurely because of business conditions in commercial lending. They felt they could continue to use current tools for a few more years and I agree with them.

Comdyn – Colfax Fluid Handling

Contract August 2015 ~ *October 2015

This contract focused on coordinating database changes and Entity Frame 6 model changes in a rapidly moving project.

New skills include Azure system management and Azure Blob Storage.

*Note I normally turned in 120 hour every two weeks. This contract was short and intense by design.

Bank of America– End User Computing

Contract April 2015 ~ August 2015

This contract focused on using multithreaded windows services to import items into a multi petabyte HP Autonomy Data Warehouse and removing items when legally allowed.

This was done with C# and SQL Server. The project itself was cancelled.

Apex Systems - Wells Fargo Securities – Capital Markets

Contract June 2014 ~ March 2015

In the second contract under another manager, I worked with the same ASP.NET and Telerik technologies.

My current project uses advanced Entity Framework 4.3, extensive LINQ, formviews and a complete business rule stack to implement a legal compliance system.

The first project was to touch up a web site that helps finalize initial public offerings and bond issuances. The team brought it from classic ASP to ASP.NET 4.0.

Advantage Technology - Wells Fargo Securities – Capital Markets

Contract Sept 2013 ~ April 2014

At Wells Fargo Securities I focused on the BMS (Brokerage Management System) website and the BMS Utilities that performed ETL services for files coming in from CME, GMI, ICE US, ICE EU and Credit Suisse.

The program balanced a variety of instruments including bonds, bond swaps, derivatives, securities. Many of our clients were hedge funds for whom we did custom processing and reporting. I improved the performance of each exchange import and balance / reconciliation by over 80%.

The technical side of the work required ASP.NET, extensive Telerik custom controls, SQL, SSIS, SSRS and Excel.

The subject matter side required understanding the interactions of CME, GMI, Broadridge, ICE US, ICE EU and Credit Suisse.
