Worked on the UI for an ingest system for the U.S. Army. Obtained CompTIA Security+ Certification and Interim Secret clearance.Hexure, Colorado Springs, CO Apr 2017 Apr 2023Senior Software EngineerDesigned and coded several enhancements for the existing life insurance desktop regression utility, TestBench, for the ForeSight framework in C# utilizing Object Oriented Programming, Windows WorkFlow Foundation (WF), and the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Designed and coded integration modules for various clients in the ForeSight framework. Updated XML mapping specification documents, supplied test plans, and test cases for clients.Key Achievements:Implemented easier to modify and maintain the UI code for various clients and streamlined the JavaScript code to reduce runtime errors and improve response times in web browsers.Able to create from scratch a web application for the Sales Team to demo the FireLight system to prospective clients. This application required designing and implementing everything from end to end from the web pages, dynamic grid tables, and the backend database schema.Refactored the console version of our in-house test application, TestBench such that new features were introduced enabling the users to save many hours in order to promote test results to baseline. I also refactored the source code for the application reducing duplication and collection common functions that reduced the source code size by over half.Created a custom application that sent saved cases and their corresponding report PDfs to a clients SFTP server.New York Life Insurance Company, Reno, Nevada 2003 Feb 2017Senior Applications ArchitectDesigned and coded many enhancements and replacement modules for the existing life insurance illustration system for both the desktop and web using various languages including C++, C#, and Delphi. I also created many tools which reduced the time and labor to make business crucial enhancements and fix bugs.Key Achievements:Designed, developed, and implemented a replacement regression test suite (C#, WinForms, WCF, XML, HTML, XSLT, JavaScript) that replaced a third party tool. My new application utility was very small, more efficient, faster, convenient, and took significantly less time for the business unit to collect and evaluate calculation results allowing them to evaluate and sign off on the Insurance application release/patch in significantly less time and under budget. This project included indexing, searching, translating, comparing, tabulating, logging and recording the calculation results of thousands of test cases against base line results. These results could be tailored to notify whenever any of thousands of values were off by a penny or a desired dollar amount. This application could be run in three different ways, via command line, a GUI or as a managed service and optionally post the results to a web server (ASP.NET, MVP). I utilized SoapUI and Fiddler for testing.Designed and implemented a managed service (C#, WCF, Delphi) and the supporting functions that interfaced to the existing illustration system that communicated with the newer system. I utilized SoapUI for extensive load testing.Modified the C++ insurance calculation engine solve routines that used various methods for determining a desired premium, face amount, or cash value. I used the current desktop and web illustration applications and my own regression tool I wrote in C# for testing.Implemented web server solution on the web server that allowed the current illustration system to be able to update functionality hotfixes without requiring a full patch or release (ASP.NET, C#, Delphi).Designed and implemented a program (C#, WinForms, XSLT) that validates XML messages. Elements and attributes are checked against a user defined template and would be required or optional with their values being blank or compared to a finite list.Rewrote the database interface layer (Delphi, COM/DCOM, XML) to be more flexible, handle multiple sessions from different users to different databases. I used the current desktop and web illustration applications and my own regression tool I wrote in C# for testing.Enhanced the conditions checking module (Delphi) by writing a dynamic Boolean formula parser mechanism so that hard coded changes would not have to be made just account for either changes to an existing business rule check or to create new business rule checks. This mechanism used both RPN and inner-outer evaluation of conditions that could be changed with a simple text editor. I used the current desktop and web illustration applications and my own regression tool I wrote in C# for testing.Wrote a suite of GUI tools (C#, WinForms) that automatically checks tens of thousands of test cases from an initial input of an Excel spreadsheet.Designed, enhanced, and supported update and administration utilities (C#, Delphi) that would allow Agency representatives to make changes, then upload them to a webserver so clients in the field could receive and apply the updates immediately and automatically.Enhanced and streamlined the utilities (Delphi, C#) used for upgrading client databases in the field using custom VCL components.Upgraded calculation engine libraries from Visual C 6 to Visual Studio 2010 C++.Interfaced VPMS insurance calculation models into legacy code (C++, Delphi).Presented various business analyses for legacy system conversions to management, giving them option to convert from outdated languages and architecture to a new design.McKesson Corporation, Sacramento, CA 2000 - 2003Web TechnologistDesigned and maintained over 12 comprehensive internal websites in Java and oversaw web server administration for the Corporate Intranet Group in San Francisco.
