Synopsis
I am an accomplished web software craftsman. I have been fortunate to develop skills in many areas including C#, ASP.NET,
JQuery/Javascript, HTML, CSS, WCF Services, Linq-to-Sql and ADO.NET, VB.NET, and Telerik Kendo tools. I am tenacious
about keeping my skills up-to-date and my work quality as the best. I am a strong believer in object-oriented principles*.
Work History
April 2014 – ongoing
Full-time position at Human Synergistics Incorporated, converting paper survey products to mobile web-based. I created a
Web ASP.NET C# WCF Service and multiple HTML5, JQuery clients utilizing the Telerik Kendo toolkit. The service code
utilizes an object-oriented design and Linq-to-SQL for CRUD. I also maintain and enhance their existing VB.NET products.
Nov. 2011 – ongoing
Contractor position at Chicago United, creating and enhancing their web site. I both add new web products and maintain and
enhance their existing VB.NET pages. One of my bigger work items was to recreate from HTMLs and dlls, a management
tool with heavy db interaction using ASP.NET C# and Linq-to-SQL (the original code-behind files were lost). I also upgraded
their software to incorporate logging, error handling, and the replacement of HTML embedded with SQL with OO data
classes interacting with the DB using ADO.NET.
Nov. 2009 – ongoing (mostly phased out this work)
Started my own web creation business- SuvadaSoftware.com. These sites use my skills in ASP.NET, C#, JavaScript, CSS,
HTML, and database design. These sites are built on my “Site You Can Manage” infrastructure. I created an easy to use
text based interface that allows for clients to update their own web content. This infrastructure required expert skill in
database storage and retrieval using ADO.NET of user-edited content, JavaScript functionality used to edit and retrieve user
defined content, and C# infrastructure code providing for the logic used in the editable content.
Jan 2006 – Nov. 2009
Attended to family situation. During this time I extended my skill-set from my industrial software base to web solutions.
Oct 1987 – Jan 2006
Motorola- Product Architect for OSSD OMC
Team leader and lead developer on project to re-write the Motorola Cellular Infrastructure O&M application software
to use a new database server. This project entailed 2,100K total lines of C++ code and 840 staff months of effort.
Personally wrote approximately 40K lines of code.
Primary technical integrator and contact for 3'rd party products. 3'rd party products include Persistence EdgeXtend
for database middle ware, Iona Corba for inter-process communication and Informix for database server.
Unprecedented - project managers equated me to two head count in feature release planning.
Cited for exceptional ability to collaborate with numerous groups, including development groups operating overseas.
Wrote, presented, and awarded for several technical papers at symposiums including "Large Software Porting and
Redesign: Open MIB for Motorola's CDMA 1X" at SES 2002 which won a top presentation award and “OO
Programming" for the 1992 AMT symposium which won "Best Paper Award".
