PROFESIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Spritz – Salt Lake City, Utah, 2014-present, Senior Software Engineer
Designed and developed several major features for the Spritz EReader. The work involved a server side
parser written in java for extracting and modifying html book pages from epub files and storing them in
MongoDB. Also developed a number of REST web service endpoints implemented with the Spring
framework to allow the reader client to access epub data. Developed many features of the client portion
of the application using ECMAScript 6 and AngularJS.
• Developed the Spritz newsreader for several versions of Samsung Gear watches. The reader receives
continuous news feed to present breaking news. It is a Tizen Web application that utilizes the Spritz JS
SDK. It has been licensed by several news organizations including the Wall Street Journal, Financial
Times, Bild, and Süddeutsche. The GearO implementation received the “Most Innovative Use of
Technology” award from the Drum Network.
• Designed and implemented a JavaScript SDK for company’s patented fast reading system. The work
included design, implementation, and comprehensive documentation.
• Developed the Spritz email client for Samsung’s Gear2 watch at product launch. It is implemented as a
Tizen Web app written in JavaScript. It loads email messages from a compatible Android phone using
Bluetooth and presents email text using Spritz’s innovative fast reading system. The Spritz email
application debuted at the 2014 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at Samsung’s Gear 2 unpacked
event, and garnered significant media and blog attention.
Exelis - Boulder, Colorado, 2013-2014, Senior Software Engineer
• Designed and implemented a web application for presenting hyperspectral images collected by the
Space Station’s HICO (Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean). The application was implemented
as a JavaScript client calling the server to perform sophisticated scientific calculations using the Exelis’
IDL (Interactive Data Language).
• Designed and developed several important features of the Operational Control System for the next
generation GPS satellite constellation. The work was sub-contracted to Exelis by a major defense
company under strict ITAR rules.
Time Warner Cable - Broomfield, Colorado, 2010-2013, Senior Software Engineer
• Designed and developed the Interactive Message Collector application component for the Enhanced

rate of ten million messages per hour. The work involved a variety of tasks including low-level socket

2. programming to handle TCP and UDP communication, database design, configuring network switches
for fail-over and load balancing as well as sophisticated message safekeeping to prevent any data loss.
The application was programmed in java using Spring, Apache MINA, ActiveMQ, and an Oracle
database.
• Participated in designing, developing, enhancing and maintaining several components for the company’s
large back office application suite. Most of the work was done in a complex environment with different
kinds of web services (mixture of legacy SOAP and newer REST). I was responsible for the whole
