back to resume

All work done in .NET, C#,XML/XSLT, SqlServer, Visual Source Safe, IIS, on the Windows 2003 / XP platforms.

Quickly evaluated an ailing, poorly written publication system which was failing daily. This system took the previous engineering team over a year to build. I put together a very small team and re-architected and deployed this system in 6 weeks. It uses less than half the amount of servers it originally did and does not fail. This system process approx 1 Terabyte of data daily which supports over 100 hosted sites.

Put software development process in place for the engineering team. This included a source control system as well as a bug tracking and deployment system.

Lead architecture and redesign of a major graphical content conversion system. This system starts with inbound advertisements in PDF format and provides OCR, image resizing/cutting/mapping, data entry at price/item detail and publication to over 100 individual hosted sites. The new system is a web services based system which allows workflow to include workers in different countries (India in this case) without regard to server locations. This system handles approximately 75,000 pdf pages per week.

Lead design team in implementation of an Integrated Search System which allows hosted client sites to display search results across any combination of content (editorial, classifieds, advertisers, local web sites, etc). Normally this information comes from different sources hosted on different servers.

Architecture and design of massive inbound and outbound feed processing engines which receive and send data in various formats to/from various partners.
