ARCHITECT / LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER
- Projects:
- Verizon - VS.NET/ASP.NET/C#/SQL2K
Architect / Technical
Lead for PDP Portal project. This project will automate Verizon's
internal server deployment process and will maintain an inventory of
all hardware.
ARCHITECT / LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER
- This position is an extension of my previous employment with Rare
Medium which went out of the consulting business. RedRiver Systems took
over the United eWay account.
- Responsible for designing/developing a new application architecture
that takes full advantage of the object oriented capabilities of .NET
technologies.
- Provide technical leadership, specifically with regard to learning
new .NET technologies, for the development staff.
- Projects:
- United eWay 2.5 - VS.NET/ASP.NET/C#/SQL2K
Technical Lead
for this minor revision of the United eWay Online Pledge Processing
System (OPPS). Changes included allowing the creation and storage of
custom report and export formats, as well as various other minor
enhancements.
- CodeSmith - VS.NET/C#
Architect / Sole Developer for
CodeSmith. CodeSmith is a template-based code generator. It allows the
use of templates with nearly identical syntax as ASP.NET to be used
for repetitive programming tasks. Internally, we used CodeSmith to
generate over 60% of the United eWay Admin site code-base. This
included stored procedures, business objects and collections, and user
interface ASP.NET code and code-behind classes. CodeSmith was a
side-project that I worked on during my spare time and is available
freely at http://www.ericjsmith.net/codesmith/.
- Queue Service - VS.NET/C#/Remoting
Architect / Technical
Lead for this generic Queuing Service. The goal of this project was to
provide a way to distribute the load of long-running processes and
also to provide feedback on their progress. The service allows work
items to be added to the queue on another server and allows for status
checks through a .NET remoting API. This allowed us to offload things
such as long running reports and exports to other servers and to
provide more detail to the user of their status. The service was
implemented in a multi-threaded manor so that a defined number of work
items could execute simultaneously.
- United eWay 2.0 - VS.NET/ASP.NET/C#/SQL2K
Architect /
Technical Lead for this major revision of the United eWay Online
Pledge Processing System (OPPS). This version required enough major
changes to the admin site to justify a re-write in ASP.NET/C#. Changes
included developing an MMC style admin interface, custom export system
that allowed for easy creation of new export formats and the ability
to create ad-hoc data filters, new reporting system that allowed for
ad-hoc data filters, custom charting and statistics, batch email
system, various batch import interfaces, and integrating content
management features.
