2. Contractor – AINS/USAID, Arlington, VA, Oct 2014 – Jun 2016.
Worked as a developer on a project for the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID). I worked with Java/J2EE, Struts 2, Spring 4, JSP, JQuery,
JavaScript, iBatis, and ORACLE.
Notable Projects & Achievements:
• I made enhancements to the ASIST application and to utilities used to setup
ASIST data.
• I wrote a Junit, spring managed integration testing framework.
• I worked on release 1 of a project to consolidate functionality of USAID's
West/Bank/Gaza and Global award vetting systems.
Contractor - Lockheed-Martin, Fort Meade, MD, Jun 2014 – Oct 2014.
Defense Media Activity (DMA) is the Department of Defense's direct line of
communication for news and information to U.S. forces worldwide. We maintained a
digital media management system. I worked with Java/J2EE, Servlets, Struts 2, JSP,
HTML, CSS, JQuery, Linux, ORACLE, Restful Web Services, XML, SSO.
Notable Projects & Achievements:
• I worked on an overall project to rewrite how we upload digital media (i.e.,
images and video) into our system for processing.
• I also wrote the servlet code to request XML metadata via a Restful Web
Service from T3 Media who now stores our images and videos for viewing.
Upon receiving the XML metadata I parsed it and displayed the images on our
new web page.
• I added new data fields (contributor group and upload path) to the user data
store which consisted of two new fields on the User Information UI. The data
was eventually stored in the LDAP and Oracle database.
Contractor - Sanmina-SCI, Huntsville, AL, Oct 2013 – Jun 2014.
We developed communication systems which were sold to the Army, Navy, Marines,
Police, Fire Department, etc., which were to be deployed in jeeps, Humvees, tanks,
cars, jets, barracks, laptops, and hand held devices. The products generated 10-20
million in revenue per year.
Notable Projects & Achievements:
• I worked with Java, Swing, TCP/IP.
• I developed the Weather Widget functionality to provide detailed information
of weather sensor data.
• I developed the secondary speaker functionality to add the capability to
add/remove individual audio assets to a secondary USB speaker.
CSC/Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville, AL, Feb 2009 – Sep 2013.
Software Engineer

3. The project was to convert a COBOL mainframe legacy system into a large complex
web application to support the Army Corps of Engineers staff. The web application
will be used by the Army Corps of Engineers to keep track of world-wide projects and
to get approval for funding from Congress.
Notable Projects & Achievements:
• I worked with Java/J2EE, JSP, Servlets, JavaScript, Dojo, AJAX, iText, Spring,
JUnit, HTML, CSS, JSON, XML, JDBC, MySQL Stored Procedures, Windows XP,
Windows 7, NetBeans, and Apache Tomcat.
• I was on the project from the start in February 2009 until completion July
2013 which included all phases of full life-cycle development.
• I was responsible for developing over 30 screens and dialog boxes, many
server-side controllers, over 50 database access code functions, over 50 iText
PDF/Excel reports, and much more.
• I designed and developed the exception translation error handling framework.

Software Engineer

Police, Fire Department, etc., which were to be deployed in jeeps, Humvees, tanks,
cars, jets, barracks, laptops, and hand held devices. The products generated 10-20
million in revenue per year.
Notable Projects & Achievements:
• I worked with Java, Swing, AWT, Applets, Java ME, JNI, JUnit, TCP/IP, and
Linux.
• I was the product lead for the Java/Windows based communication products
for (e.g., desktop/laptops, handheld devices, etc.).
• I designed the Java/Windows based communication API backend that
connected to client frontends via a TCP/IP Socket connection. I also designed
sample frontend skins. The frontend was supported by a configuration
properties file that determined things such as window size, applet vs.
application, AWT vs. Swing, etc. Finally, I designed all documentation and
tutorials for using the API and developing frontend skins.
Contractor - FedEx, Orlando, FL, Feb 1999 – Feb 2005.
The project was to convert a COBOL mainframe legacy system into a UNIX based
distributed systems for calculating complex FedEx shipment billing rates. The
system was distributed in Orlando, Memphis, Dallas, and Colorado.
Notable Projects & Achievements:
• I worked with C, C++, Java, Swing, AWT, Applets, Servlets, JMS, JUnit,
Hibernate, Sybase Stored Procedures, vi, Korn Shell Scripts, Perl, Awk, Sed,
Telnet, UNIX, and BAE Weblogic.
• I was the lead developer of the data base population project where we
converted mainframe COBOL code to UNIX based OO C++ code.

4. • I was one of three developers on the currency conversion project which
supported the calculation of shipment billing rates based on current currency
exchange rates.

5. Summary of Most Interesting Projects
• I refactored a standalone Java application into a spring managed application
using annotations like @ComponentScan, @Component, @PropertySource,
@Value, @Bean, @Configuration, @Autowired, etc.
• I developed a Junit, Spring managed integration testing framework.
• I developed a standalone Java application to request XML metadata via a
Restful Web Service from T3 Media who stores images and videos for viewing.
Upon receiving the XML metadata I parsed it and stored the images and its
associated metadata in a Servlet that I wrote via request attributes. I also
displayed the images on the home web page via the Servlet’s request
attributes.
• I developed a Weather Widget Java Swing component that subscribed to
receive detailed weather data that was published by the Java SoftCau JDK.
The Java SoftCau JDK received updated weather data via TCP/IP Socket from
a communication hub connected to live weather sensors.
• I was on the project with CSC from the start in February 2009 until
completion July 2013 in which I was included in all phases of full life-cycle
development to convert the Army Corps of Engineers legacy system into a
J2EE Enterprise Web application.
• I refactored for 9 months a prototype, created by my Lead Engineer, into a
Java SoftCau JDK API backend that connected to client frontends via a TCP/IP
Socket. I also developed sample frontend skins. The frontend was supported
by a configuration properties file that determined things such as window size,
applet vs. application, AWT vs. Swing, etc. Finally, I created all
documentation and tutorials for using the Java SoftCau JDK API and frontend
skins.
• I was the lead developer of the 1 year data base population project where we
converted mainframe COBOL code to UNIX based OO C++ code. It was
similar to Spring Batch. I had a cronjob controlled shell script that read a
mainframe output file everyday. Then my C++ framework consisted of a
ReaderWriter that read the file, converted it from mainframe formats to
Sybase DB formats, and generated temporary files. Once the temporary files
were generated a DatabasePopulator populated the Sybase DB with data from
the temporary files. This consisted of 8 mainframes, 8 ReaderWriters, and 8
DatabasePopulators.
