Work with product owners to convert business rules into business logic. Refactor legacy code and develop new code on a standard java stack (Oracle 11g, WebLogic, Spring) and in a standard java development environment (eclipse, jUnit, maven).
Review LearnFind's backend data importer and recommend system updates that use current tools (stable, supported). Install and configure Hadoop to run Map/Reduce functions that (i) process large data feeds and (ii) serialize results for further consumption by a key:value store. Refactor language processing to extend service features.
Assessed Swarmin’s current engineering efforts and recommended an appropriate methodology. Presented a brief overview of Scrum and Kanban.
Operate a coaching practice (previously established in conjunction with my graduate studies.) Coach individuals on issues related to job performance and personal effectiveness.
Began gradutate studies part time in March, 2010, moving to full time at the end of SonicSwap's acquisition by Raditaz. My primary interest was in the individual's impact on group performance.
Managed all java, php software development projects. Analyzed web application systems, synthesized architectures, contributed to and managed engineering of architectures that reduce cost (60%), improved uptime (from crashes per day to crash-free months), and improved web performance (50x.) Managed domestic and offshore (India) engineering. Refactored application: i18n, decoupled XML processing and moved to AWS, decoupled metadata processing and moved to Flex, and migrated 95% of MySQL data to key:value store. Managed technology transfer and integration during company acquisition (Raditaz.)
Developed prototype for multi-car synchronized audio playback and light show. Collaborated with a partner company (KeyUp) on R&D for a home jukebox (hard drive).
Managed three groups: pre-sales engineering support, publications, and application engineering. Created and delivered distributor training (Asia-Pacific) for new embedded system products. Advised customers during the pilot-project manufacturing phase.
Managed issue tracking, feature requests and product backlog priority. Delivered technical sales training (worldwide) for the company's compiler and its associated C-based hardware modeling methodology.
Managed engineers (Hong Kong) to complete die procurement, industrial design, microcontroller firmware and PCB for health and fitness personal monitoring devices.
Researched industry developments and recommended product strategy for personal computer ICs. Created and delivered sales training for new products (IC).
1993 – 1995Managed proposal process for joint public/private R&D projects in the areas of radiation tolerant commercial VLSI processes, smart sensing munitions and information security.
1990 – 1993Designed and fabricated graphics cards (PCB) for new graphics ICs, including marketing collateral: documentation, software, hardware kits, and tutorials. Wrote a compiler (C) to compile device driver routines (x86 assembly) into simulation test vectors (Verilog.)
Ported application from proprietary frame work (Pascal) to Windows (C). Built high performance image processing routines (x86 assembly.) Refactored motion detection and measurement subsystem to meet performance requirements (100x improvement).
