Principal Software Engineer, Global Connect 2006-2008, 2008-2012 With an eye to the future, skillfully implemented highly sophisticated large-scale telecommunications software solutions. Mentored engineering staff in the art and craft of software. Provided crosscutting technical vision through education and communication. Worked with product management to crystallize needs while balancing non-functional requirements and technical limitations. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION Designed and implemented a system to transparently manage communications resources. Much of the central capability over which we desired to have an enhanced level of control had suffered severe code-rot. Because of this the risk level of the necessary refactor was higher than it might have otherwise been. Ensured a clear design was reached and necessary techniques were employed to ensure the effort was successful; high levels of unit test coverage and feature toggling, specifically. The original code was primarily highly monolithic JSP. After the refactor the code was made up of loosely coupled, well-organized, test-covered Java classes. Designed interactions between real-time communications dashboard and backend native VoIP software to ensure specific use cases were realized. The technologies employed in this system were Java, Spring, Struts, C++, Corba and a custom built SIP-stack. Designed and implemented a system that was the basis for an entirely new line of business an emergency notification system. This system used geospatial querying, embedded javascript-based mapping components and the underlying communications infrastructure to give government agencies the ability to quickly and intuitively contact their constituencies based on location. Java, Struts and Corba were used for this system. Designed and implemented an enhanced contact management system including features such as google-style autocomplete and a miniature map showing location when hovered over. This was accomplished by building a sophisticated javascript library to manage common behaviors with generalized calls to appropriate server-side logic. In cooperation with a customer - designed a cutting edge, web-service based integration point a huge source of potential revenue and innovation for customers and the organization.
