Industry
From my first day of work at a small startup, writing C++ code on a Cfront compiler, I have had tremendous opportunities in this field.
I was an early adopter of object-oriented programming- during my 3+ years at Andersen Consulting I developed in Smalltalk as well as early web technologies.
In 1996, I started a consulting company to serve cross-industry clients with a large variety of architectures, programming languages, tools, and people. I have designed and implemented over 50 Java enterprise components and web applications for my clients.
Designed and built subsystem to specify shape of input data for large-scale data analytics backend. Allowed metadata to rapidly adjust to meet customers' evolving data formats. Tools: Java EE, Javascript, JQuery, Extjs, Spring, Hibernate, Oracle 11g, Apache Tomcat.
Designed and built advanced price and promotional evaluation reporting tool. Reactive UI provided dimensional visibility to analysis results. Developed all tiers with heavy emphasis in Flex & Actionscript. Tools: Java EE, Flex, ActionScript, Cairngorm, Spring, Hibernate, PostgreSQL, Oracle, WebSphere, Jetty.
