Architecting and developing a J2EE web-based workflow application for Coop and Metro. Roles included Team lead, Agile developer, Architect, TDD Evangelist. Business logic: Java 1.5, Spring, JBPM, Flex, Log4J, RMI, Quartz, SVN, XML, Mbeans, Ant, Maven, Webservices, AOP, ActiveMQ, UML Persistence: Hibernate, iBatis, Oracle 10g, Hypersonic Front end: Flex, JSP, Ajax, Struts Testing: TDD, JUnit, FlexUnit, Watij, Mantis Environment: MyEclipse, OC4J, Jboss Architecting: Visual Paradigm, UML modelling

Developing a distributed J2EE application. In a team of 5, our task was to create the business and presentation layers of a J2EE application, to retrieve, display and persist animated RADAR, flight plan, and geographic data on 2D and 3D terrains, using the Eclipse RCP environment, JBoss server and Oracle database. Environment: Eclipse, JBoss Software: EJB 2.1, Java 1.5, Xdoclet, Ant, Log4J, SVN, XML, Mbeans, Javadoc Persistence: Hibernate, Oracle 10g, Hypersonic, Front end: RCP, SWT, LuciadMap

Guiding adoption of Extreme programming in two teams at Siemens, for which I was awarded a 3i-Siemens-Innovation prize. This work included: - Decreasing their compilation times by 80%, by writing a java application to preprocess their code-base before compilation - Coding a Java-C++ bridge to allow developers to step through their C++ and Java code simultaneously in Visual .Net and Eclipse respectively, thus improving their debugging capabilities - Incorporating JUnit and J2MEUnit

Enhancing the presentation, business and persistence layers of a website used within the UK's National Health Service. This has involved reorganizing their databases, improving the code stability, and introducing e-commerce features allowing doctors to purchase and take online exams. Persistence: Hibernate, MySQL, Hypersonic, designing and normalising database schemas Presentation and business: JSP, JSTL, EL, Struts, XML, XSL, ASP, EJBs, Javadoc Servers: JBoss, Tomcat

Coding with UML, Telelogic SDL, Together, C++, Visual .Net, Rational Purify, Rational Rose to examine and test the data flow between layers in their UMTS stack, and to deliver the data in realtime to a web browser for analysis. Design patterns: Front controller, MVC, Composite View Languages: XML, Java, C++, JSP. ASP, DHTML Testing: JUnit

During the dot com boom, this was an exciting time to be in the US. At Channelwave we created a web-based j2ee application for Hewlett Packard. This followed what is now a typical j2ee structure: a web based GUI based upon JSP, MVC, with session beans fronting EJBs behind. IDE: Visual Cafe Software: Java, EJB, XML, XSL, JSP, Spy Server: JRun Persistence: JDBC, SQL Server Extreme programming: JUnit, Pair programming

Developing the Cakewalk music sequencer in MFC, C++, COM in Visual C++, involving digital signal processing and rich GUI coding. In addition, developing the Metro music sequencer in CodeWarrior on the Macintosh (with Jeremy Sagan - son of Carl Sagan).
