Professional Experience:
Revere Copper Products Incorporated, Rome, NY (Remote) May 2023 – Present
Senior Developer
I use my broad based skill set to perform complex developmental tasks. Revere is a mix of an IBM iSeries and a Microsoft shop. I have 10+ years of experience with both platforms. Although the bulk of my .Net development language has been in C#, my first assignment at revere was the difficult task of converting VB6 applications to VB.Net applications. Having done the task previously, I was aware that VS 2008 has a conversion engine that would automate some of he conversion work. Hurdles involved eliminating 3rd party COM and ACTIVE X controls as well as the need to convert database access from oledb and ODBC to T-SQL using ADO.Net. I found the most significant hurdle to beconverting VB6 user interface construct to .Net. Often there were no equivalent user interface controls. I also wrote a Windows service to monitor machine and tool conditions on the shop floor and periodically send out status e-mails. My current assignment involves a Windows service that monitors shop floor resource usage as well as calculating various product yields using complex mathematical algorithms. Where possible, I using ORM modeling or my own “ORMLite” application to create classes out of SQL tables which can then be manipulated using Data Tables, Lists, HashTables or other C# data structures which often times improve performance and readability over native SQL.
KPH Healthcare Systems, East Syracuse, NY September 2017 – December 2022
.Net Developer
Migrated RPG based applications and systems off the aging IBM i(AS/400) to .Net Core version 6.02 “flagship” application named “Integration manager” in conjunction with two offshore developers which I managed. AS/400 to .Net Core was also undertaken independently moving systems based on languages including “CL”, “RPG (multiple versions)”, Java, and CoBOL with the ultimate goal of eliminating the AS/400. Some of the migration involved the breaking down of “monolithic” systems on the AS/400 to .Net Core applications based on webapi microservices. UI “Frameworks”, primarily with razor pages and bootstrap as well as occasional Blazor page(s), were implemented where possible. Duties also included developing a wide variety of applications that leverage the powerful database capabilities of IBM DB2 and the Microsoft C#/.Net development stack. Authored several "interfaces" that extract data from multiple ADO.Net Sources and input into JDA, POS system, HR and LP systems. Authored windows service “TrickleFeed” application that maintains the inventory for all Kinney’s 100+ retail stores. The service consumes a web API that running on one of the POS servers. The windows service maintains two encrypted user ids and passwords (a primary and a backup). A “old school” WCF web service (wsdl) is called to check the “up” status of the WebAPI. Assuming the Web API is up, the user id and password are presented to the Web API and assuming the credentials are authenticated a “token” is returned that is used to post various inventory transactions. Numerous failure points are managed using try/catch blocks. Automated e-mails informing the management team of system problems are sent. I also wrote all Sql and C# applications needed to put “Kinney Drugs” on “Instacart.com”. Wrote numerous Winforms utility applications (see website) as well as a WebForms order transfer application. Functionality embedded into many applications included Data Encryption (connection string and configuration data) as well as Password Hashing and Web API services consumption. Authentication/Authorization for some web services was done using an OAuth2 library I wrote. This library allowed our developers to easily manage Web API’s via OAuth2 authentication and authorization. The library managed the Web API Base URL, the Login URL, the OAuth2 Client ID, the OAuth2 Client Secret, the OAuth2 user name (aka “saak”), and the OAuth2 password (aka “sask”). If Authentication is successful, the system received back from the login url an access_token, refresh_token, token_type, and and expiration in minutes values. If the token in use expires or is close to expiring, the refresh_token can be used to obtain a fresh acces token. Finally, a Java based drup look-up Android application was also developed using the Android SDK. I was also administrator for the Teams instance used for source control.
Carrier Corporation, Syracuse, NY June 2016 – September 2017
Application Developer/Software Engineer
A multitude of technically advanced projects for the engineering department including application to interface with Web API (Http) web services, development of WCF service to perform engineering unit conversions for several engineering applications, Mongo database development, and VB6/VBA application rewrites.
Class 1/Hale Products, Ocala, FL April 2013 – March 2016
Application Developer/Software Engineer
Used Microsoft Visual Studio Versions 2010, 2012, and 2013 to develop C# .Net Web (ASP.Net) and Windows applications.
Most applications included a Microsoft Sql Server “backend”. This was usually implemented as a database layer using ADO.Net and T-Sql.
Designed patterns including Factory, Observer, and Data Repository were used where appropriate.
Duties also included firmware development and maintenance. Used KeilMicrovision to develop and maintain firmware on various embedded devices, including our “Smart Connect” Wi-Fi “IoT” device and Vehicle Data Recorder using the “C” programming language and “RTX” real-time operating system.
Judicious use of third party products employed. However, applications developed included the use of the third party open source libraries SQLite,pdfSharp, and the OpenXML SDK (used to generate native Excel output).
Custom libraries I developed included USB HID communications and Wi-Fi/TCP/IP.
Developed several custom controls including the “TreelistView” windows control used in ES-Key Pro II (see below).
Duties at Class 1 varied, including, C# .Net Windows application development, C# .Net ASP.Net Web Application development, “C” Embedded development, and “Specialty Development” where C# and .Net were used to develop various minor applications
The Class 1 Electrical Engineering Department designs and manufactures various embedded devices used for what is known as “vehicle multiplexing”.
Specific development work includes the following:
“ES-Key Pro II” – Used Visual Studio 2010 for the C# .Net Windows Forms rewrite of the flagship Borland C++ windows application “ES-Key Pro”. Had Azure account that was used to define hardware and setup url to communicate with “Smart Connect” Wi-Fi devices we manufacture and that are connected to rescue vehicle CAN (Controller Area Networks). Used TCP/IP sockets to communicate between Azure and the Wi-Fi Devices.
VDR Viewer II – This is a complete C# .Net rewrite of the originally Java based “VDR Viewer” application. Class 1 offers Vehicle data recorders in two “models” – a “standalone” and one built in to a Supernode II “System Manager”. .
Firmware Update Website – This project includes two main components: the website (an ASP.Net “web forms” project) and the website maintenance application (a windows forms application).
Embedded Development – This involved maintenance and new development for our NXP ARM based embedded devices. Used Keil’s “Microvision” development environment along with “rtx-rtos” real-time operating system. Embedded development included a “Smart Connect” module which could be classified as an “IoT” device. The “Smart Connect” module sported an NXP LPC4357 Microcontroller along with an integrated Bluegiga WF-121 Wi-Fi module.
Specialty Development – Wrote various “other” applications including a software development management system that allows software development features to be tracked. Wrote a MS SQL Server based Engineering change management and various other applications and applets.
