11/2015-2/2017 e.biT Consulting Chicago, IL

Contract Programmer / Lead Software Engineer

Was the lead on a two-person team to create a web based mapping application. We used ES2015, jQuery and WebGL for the UI. The application drew overlays of coverage tiles using WebGL over the Here Map control. To speed processing and reduce memory pressure from processing 1+ million tiles in the browser, we created a caching mechanism using RDS/MySQL. I created an ETL process that processes the tiles on a regular schedule. After implementing the cache we were able to reduce the memory footprint allowing us to run the application on phones and tablets.

Developed a POC using Electron to convert SDIP messages into protobuf’s which were submitted to Here’s cloud platform.

Based off the POC, designed, developed and implemented a Chrome extension for one of Here’s clients. The extension allowed end users to submit protobuf’s containing gantry/speed information to Here’s cloud platform.

Designed, developed and implemented a web based mapping application using ReactJS/Redux. The purpose of the application was to simulate automobiles sending location/speed data to Here’s cloud platform in real time. The messages were processed and published and visualized back on Here’s map control.

The following technologies were used for the 4 applications that I was involved in: ES2015, React/Redux, ES5, Babel, Webpack, Mocha, Chai, Gerrit, Jenkins, Python, Docker, AWS Cloudformation, EC2, RDS/MySQL, Route53, nGinx and Linux.

12/2008-9/2009 Ensynch, Inc. Tempe, AZ

Senior Consultant

Designed, developed and implemented an identity management solution using ILM 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. The solution integrated Oracle HRMS with Active Directory. The management agents were written in C#. WSS 3.0 was used in the solution to provide reports to the client through web parts and SSRS. SSIS packages were utilized to generate delta views of the data coming from Oracle into the SQL Server tables. This was used primarily for performance reasons.

Designed and developed a POC that integrated MOSS 2007 and ILM 2007. This was achieved by building a custom management agent in ILM that integrated with the built-in web service API’s in SharePoint 2007. The custom management agent allowed for provisioning and de-provisioning of SharePoint sites using outside data as the authoritative source.

Worked on a number of small projects that consisted of expanding upon the portal piece of the Microsoft product Forefront Identity Manager 2010. The portal was initially supported to run in WSS 3.0. Based on client requests I was able to get the portal to run in MOSS 2007. Also, clients requested more flexibility in the design in the portal solution which was not possible since the majority of the site was built using SharePoint server controls. To provide that flexibility I created a new portal in WSS 3.0 using web parts that integrated with FIM 2010’s WS-* web services to provide basic CRUD operations.

Created a WinForm application in C# that allowed our internal consultants the ability to generate client ready Word documentation that was used for post-production deliverables to the client. The Word documentation was created by reading the XML outputted from MIIS/ILM/FIM and using the Open XML SDK 2.0 from Microsoft.

Part of the solution included creating a web service API that allowed external programs to add, edit and delete users in the Sun One Directory Server. Also, created SSIS packages in SQL Server 2005 that brought in flat files from external vendors and communicated with the Sun One web service API’s.

Upgraded a large University from MIIS SP1 to ILM 2007 FP1. Part of the project involved identifying which pieces of the identity management solution needed to be upgraded from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0. Re-compiled the appropriate custom code to .NET 2.0, fixing memory leaks and modifying code as needed to work with .NET 2.0.
