AnaccomplishedSoftwareEngineerwith10+yearsofexperiencespecializinginObject-OrientedDesign and Analysis. Proven experience in the project life cycle SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), starting from high level design to system/integration testing,prototyping proof of concept,design, interface implementation,testing and maintenance;utilizing theRapidApplicationdevelopmentmethod

(RAD)implementing SCRUM Agile.Excellent understanding of Software Usability and designing user friendly GUI’s,withVisualC++andASP.Net,CSharp,LINQaswellasBusinessRulesutilizingC++,C Sharp,andDatabaseProceduresusingMSSQL. Recognizedasateamplayerwithexcellentleadership, problem solving,and critical thinking skills withtheabilitytoeffectivelycommunicatecomplextechnical information to non-technical audiences while developing productive relationships across organizational levels. Proven success enhancing existing systems with new features and performance improvements. Today’s concept of DevOps in my experience is specifically mentioned as Azure DevOps, but this concept of adhering to Security in the entire Development Life Cycle has always been there, just implemented manually as opposed to being always included in the Azure Project Build Process. A few basic examples of this “concept constantly being implement” is as follows:

● Always guarding against SQL Injections.

● Sentient ; MVC, always using Encoding Standards in UTF selections and Character Sets.

● Nexant: WCF, utilizing Custom Binding to include “Custom Text Messaging”. Technical Skills

Smart IMS July 2014 – Sept. 2014

WCF Software Developer / System Analyst

AsaconsultantrepresentingSmartIMSIworkwithSiemenslocatedatEdgeWaterDr.,inNorwoodMA. There I worked on their .Net Remoting application that supports their Blood Gas instruments. This application implemented a Singleton application concept ofkeepingalldatainasingleobjectand distributinginformationgatheringandreportingfromthisobject.NetRemotingisthepredecessortoWCF. Siemens wants to expand this process to include other platforms outside of Microsoft.Mytaskwasto work closely with Vladimir Arkhipov,the group's Lead Developer to investigate how WCFcouldfitinto their plans of expanding their application referred to as “RAPIDComm”. I discovered that WCF will allow any Microsoft Serviceapplicationtoprocessinteroperabilityutilizinga SOAmessagingapproach.However,tousetheirexistingclasseswouldrequireextensiverefactoringto their Singleton data structures.

UtilizingCSharp4.0,IhadtheopportunitytoresearchhowWCFcanbeusedalongsideofthelegacyof

● Developed WCF Singleton callback prototype.

● DevelopedFrameworktoallowWCFtoworkalongside.NetRemotingSingletonapplicationand allow for passing Object vs Messages.

● Also developed base WCF extension for Passing Object Graphs the way .Net Remoting does. Mondo Digital Marketing and Tech Talent August 2013 – July 2014 WCF Software Developer / Technical Lead

Representing Mondo, I worked at Nexant Energy in Burlington MA, as a WCF Software Developer Reporting directly to Jeff Doege,the Head of Engineering.Nexant was in the process of delivering additional services to their current and expanding customer base.This additional information they requiredwouldbegatheredfromaRedHatJavaCloudEnergyservicelocatedintheNetherlands.This informationwouldbecomposedofthingslikecustomermoveinandmoveoutactivity.Theywouldgather this information in to their current applicationbythecreationofanewClientWCFserviceenvironment that interacted with the cloud service in a SOA environment. As the sole implementer I utilized C Sharp 4.5, to develop a Secure, IIS 7.5, WCF SOA application. The Client Service consisted of Message Contracts with dozens of HTTPSlevelandSecureMessage levelactivity.IbuilttheservicetorunatboththecommandlevelandasaWindowsService.Overallthe windows service functioned as follows:

● At 12:00 midnight the application would build a schedule basedupontheScheduleRequestion Section of the Configuration Management .NET Class.

● After the schedule had been built theapplicationwouldbeina(sleepstate)andwakeattimer intervals derived from the Configuration Management .NET Class,or ASP Frameworks appSetting expression.

● When the application wakes up and begins to process:

● It would first look for files placed in directories by the application that needs to be processed.

● Afterallapplicationfileshavebeenprocesseditwouldthenlookforspecialprocessingwhich includes files placed in special directories.If these directories contained files,these files would be processed.

● Note:processing means using the WCF default (Request /Response)method to transmit informationtotheCloudServiceandimmediatelyreceiveinformationback.Thisisanormal process except for the Secure Message level service which raninbothasynchronousand synchronized fashion.

InthisschemafirstSOAenvironmenteachService’sClientSideclasseswereconstructedusingService WSDLs that I created using the svctuil.exe utility.

● Using IIS 7.5, I installed Service Certificates to establish HTTPS and Message level policy.

● Used WCF Service Behaviors to access certificates.

● Used configuration extension to manipulate SOA Secure Headers.

● Used WCF Custom Binding to create encoding compatible with the Service provider.

● Used WCF Extension methods such as:

● Message Inspector derived from .NET IClientMessageInspector

● Modified outgoing SOAP XML Message body by insertingNexantApplicationXMLrecords into it. Validated all outgoing XML against the Service’s Message XSD file(s).

● ModifiedoutgoingSecureSOAPMessageheaderreplacingRemovingMicrosoftTimeStamp to accommodate the JAVA Cloud Service.

● Used Message Encoder in capturing incoming messagesatthelowestleveloftheservice, the channel,to modify the incoming SOAP Header and remove a timestamp that not acceptable to the Custom binding that was in place.

● UsedWCFFaultExceptiontoallowinformationfromreturningFaultedmessagetobepassed to the client.

● Used LINQ to manipulate (add and remove)timing activity from the Service scheduler which utilized a .NET Dictionary structure.

● Used C Sharp 4.5, LINQ and XPath to perform code manipulation.

● Work in a Scrum Agile approach reporting detailed progress each morning to Jeff Doege.

● Reviewed all Service documentation and translated Dutch to English.

● Compiled all test data.

● Wrote all Test Plans.
