ARCHITECT, BANYAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS
September 2010 – April 2011
Description
Banyan Medical Systems build solutions that minimize the complexities involvedwhen
integrating dissimilartechnologies all in an effort to provide healthcare professionals access
to the vital information they need.
Responsibilities
 Design architecture including requirement definitions, object modeling design,
tier structure, and user interface definitions.
 Designed, developed and implemented a plug and play framework for a medical
workflow system. I took concepts from SOA and implemented a services
framework. The services could either be loaded through the configuration file or
at run time. This made the system very flexible, so if added functionality was
needed, just create a service that derived from a base class and then implement an
interface that exposed the functionality of the service. The new service is available
throughout the application without the need to tightly couple the service to the
system. Since the service is fully contained, then the service can be easily
implemented in multiple applications. Another benefit of the service model is to
provide abstraction from the service implementation, for example, if there was a
service that was a communication service and currently that service
communicates through sockets and tcp/ip, it is real easy to implement a
communication service that communicates through WCF. Nothing else will need
to change, the client doesn’t know or care how the communication is handled and
the system is not tightly coupled to one form of communication.
 Designed, developed and implemented the Data Access Layer for the Medical
workflow system using a provider model. This decoupled the implementation of
the data access from the rest of the system. The service can easily be implemented
with ado.net talking to oracle or Linq to Sql talking to a sql server. The rest of the
service doesn’t know or care how the DAL is implemented; the system just talks

through an interface. The added benefit of the design was that if the developer
didn’t need to do any special processing, the developer didn’t need to implement a
DAL for his object, but the system enough flexibility that a hook could be
registered with the system then the developer could do any special processing that
was needed.
 Created a Restful web service using WCF. The service was a lookup service that
would look up recordings that physicians took during procedures and stored on
the server.
 Created a tutorial website using Silverlight with RIA Services. This application
used RIA Services to authenticate the user and consumed the Restful web service
in order to lookup the stored recordings. The Silverlight application then used the
Smooth Streaming server in order to play back the recording.

LEAD/ADVISORY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER, CSG SYSTEMS
1996 – 2005, 2008 – 2009
Responsibilities
 Design architecture including requirement definitions, object modeling design,
tier structure, and user interface definitions. Presented training classes to
personnel. Acted as a mentor for junior developers.
 Spearheaded and developed a validation framework, made presentation to
management, obtained approval and implement framework which greatly reduced
development time and increased maintainability. The original validation
functionality was duplicated on the client and the server which made maintaining
the code difficult and the validation errors that was returned from the server was
stored in multiple fields from the web service, so the client had to know a lot about
the inner workings of the web service. I was able to create a framework that took
the validation logic out of the client and placed it on the server, thus reducing the
size and complexity of the client code. This also allowed developers to register
their custom validation logic with the framework. This reduced the need to
constantly change the main validation code every time a new object needs
validation. All that was needed was to create the validation logic, implement an
interface and register it with the framework. The framework took care of calling
the custom validation logic and then reporting any errors that was encountered
back up to the client.
 Modified the ASMX validation web service to support the new framework.
 Designed, developed and implemented an import/export mini framework that is
extendible in order to handle many different file formats. This framework used the
provider model, so now data can be exported from the system in multiple formats.
For example, you can export the data in comma separated, CSV or xml. If in the
future, you would need to add another format, it is easy to create the provider and
register it with the system.

SR. SOFTWARE ENGINEER, DATA TRANSMISSION NETWORK (DTN)
2006 - 2008
Responsibilities
 Responsible for designing and implementing web solutions for the refined fuels
division.
 Designed, developed and implemented an Allocation Viewer web portal that
enabled clients to swiftly and accurately review their product or credit allocations.
This was designed so that depending upon which client was hitting the web portal;
the system would look up who the client was and then display the appropriate
viewer. This makes the system extremely flexible in that if a new client comes on
board, all the needs to be done is a definition file needs to be created for that client
and then register the client with the system. The rendering engine will then takes
over and render the appropriate layout.
 Designed a WCF Web Service that was consumed by the allocation viewer. This
service was also extremely flexible in that depending upon what client was hitting
the service, the appropriate data was returned. For instance, some clients only
needed product allocations while other clients needed credit allocations and some
clients needed both. This was made possible by a workflow engine that I created
that took the client id and decided which workflow to execute. This is extremely
powerful because now, if a new client comes on line, all that needs to be done is to
create a workflow definition file and register it with the system. The WCF Service
doesn’t need to be modified and the workflow engine doesn’t need to be modified.
 Utilized C#, ASP.net, JavaScript, Ajax, Oracle and WCF to design the system.
 Provided training and mentoring to the junior member of our team.
