ECS 2.0 Project, Q3 2011 - Q4 2011
Designed and developed various Spring-DM OSGI bundles for deployment in
Apache ServiceMix as a tier component for a push notification system supporting
PC, Mac, and mobile platforms. Integration work included hooking into Camel-
XMPP for EJabberD messaging, CXF for front-end REST APIs, and designing data
storage solutions for account management.
BCM 7.1, Q2 2011
Automated an eight hour manual deployment of a server suite and database
for testing purposes. Delivered a five minute manual process with four hour
automated delivery. Reduced complexity and opportunity for manual error, with
full logging and error notification. Solution was designed using Selenium, Bash,
STAF, JUnit, and integration into VM Lab Manager’s SOAP API for machine
management.
CAF 1.0, Q1 2010 - Q2 2011
Worked on a team developing a PC solution for an application store built on top
of OpenJDK and the Apache Felix OSGI stack. Created a Jetty front-end for the
client to communicate to the locally installed solution through their web browser,
accessing applications, PC help flows, and account management. The solution also
provides a fully extensible stack for application development by third parties.
BCM 7.0, Q2 2009 - Q4 2009
Provided support in moving the BCM project suite from a CVS centralized
repository, built using manual bash scripts with no integrated artifact manager
to a robust Maven build system centered upon an SVN repository with Atlassian
build and project management tools. Also performed maintenance updates to an
Eclipse RCP application, including updating RCP plugins as well as rewriting the
application installer from scratch using NSIS.

Converted a legacy home valuation system capable of providing 30 vaulations per
second to a custom RAM solution database capable of producing 15,000 valuations
per second using a single server with an 8GB RAM footprint. Major factors
contributing to the improvement included a new geospacial indexing architecture,
custom RAM management, multi-threading techniques, and JNI bridging.

Developed a flood research application integrating many different data providers

various research and geospacial toolsets to achieve pinpoint accuracy for flood
