EXPERIENCE:

*/**-******* *****, **************, VA

Sr. Programmer Analyst II -

.NET C#. I applied for and was accepted to GEICO’s first .NET boot camp. Assignments:

“MOAT” team. My first assignment was developing a counselor application in Silverlight/MVVM. The next assignment was assisting developing the backend application.

Lead on the project to convert Word 2003 template to Word 2010. While other team members modified the legacy application to use Word 2010 Interop API’s, I developed the tool to perform the mass conversion of over 2,700 templates in 11 regions. I also, converted the “master” template to utilize the Ribbon interface using the Open Office XML tools.

Corporate BPM using MetaStorm. I maintained a workflow that tracked the tasks for underwriters. I also extracted Business rules from a legacy COBOL system for developing Business Processes in Metastorm.

Agent Licensing. I developed the Business layer using C#. Web API’s were developed as the interface to the Business layer. This project was cancelled for budgetary reasons.

Sales (Auto Customer and Counselor). Joined the team developing additions to the current product. My primary focus is the “backend” using C#. I have recently begun supporting the UI using javascript, jQuery, knockout.js, and jasmine.js.

CICS Web Services. Using CICS Transaction Server, I implemented most of the Billing groups Web Services. I formulated the Division standard and Best Practices for WSDL copybooks and “discrete” web services.

SOA. I was part of the grassroots group that formed standards for implementing an SOA at GEICO. I published the Billing web services in the SOA repository (HP’s Systinet) to enforce SOA Governance.

Java. Designed, coded and implemented a Web Services Orchestration Framework (WSOF) written in Java & Spring-WS to access the Billing departments CICS web services. This was done in lieu of using an ESB.

Walsh America Source system to replace DDD system (CICS, Visual Basic). This was the first "Client Server" application written at Glaxo/Commercial IT.

This was to allow access to the DB2 database.
