WMG Inc. Senior Developer

Software development focuses on the use of an Agile Methodology to ensure flexibility in design and development and promote frequent testing of modules. Applications include the development of an iPhone app for use by nuclear power plants for assistance in the tracking and disposal of radioactive materials. This app allows the user to photograph disposal containers and submit these photos along with tracking information to a SQL Server database through a web service. After uploading these photos along with the shipping information to SQL, the data becomes available for viewing and reporting by clients through the Radman Suite of desktop software which is described below.

Development of the Radman Suite which is used by nuclear power plants for the disposal of radioactive isotopes which are the byproduct of nuclear fission generated by plants. The Radman Suite of applications, currently being distributed to power plants through the U.S., was developed using Visual Basic 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, with ComponentOne third party controls with the database hosted by RackSpace on a Cloud platform. A support application for the Radman Suite was developed using Visual Studio 2010 with C#.

Development of iPhone app using Objective C in the XCode development environment. The iPhone app “Radman Mobile Shipping Papers” functions as a mobile interface for the desktop application “Radman Suite”. The app pulls records, created in Radman Suite, from a SQL Server database and gives the user the ability to take and attach photos to the SQL record. This information is useful for creating a visual record for shipments of radioactive waste leaving nuclear power plants.

The creation of an iPad app “Process Tracking”. The app is designed to track the movement of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants to burial facilities. A running log of the materials in the shipment is maintained along with the total radioactivity of the shipment. Data for the app is housed in an external SQL server database.
