OBJECTIVES AND SKILLS

|
|
I am a software developer with 13
years of experience and now I am seeking a position that can
leverage my skills and provide new challenges. In my career, I
have built several web application frameworks and e-commerce
platforms, and my specialty has been the “server side” of
those projects, transforming hardware and software into products
and services. My strengths are a broad and deep technical
background, a commitment to getting things done, disciplined
programming and debugging skills in many languages, experience
building and supporting high volume production server environments
and applications, database design and administration, motivated
self starting, good communication and interpersonal skills,
learning things fast, team building, leadership and project
management.

of the other back end tools and accounting interfaces single
handedly. I was responsible for design and specifications,
development, testing, system administration and leading the rest
of the team.
Starting from scratch, built a
team of 3 other developers for the project. I was responsible
for task delegation, project tracking, hiring and training and
performance evaluations.
Additionally developed credit
card billing, accounting, database administration, statistics and
customer support tools for various web sites delivering pay per
view real time streaming video.
As a side project, created an
anti password sharing module in C for the Apache web server
Developed in Java and deployed
on Sparc servers running Solaris 8 and Oracle. Some tools were
built in Delphi and deployed on Windows, connecting to the same
database.

1998
– 2000 Microstate Corporation Fairfax, VA
Software
Engineer
Developed Hamilton, a
custom web application framework that used a web based GUI to
combine templates and re-useable components written in Java that
dynamically generated HTML and Javascript to build and manage web
sites instead of writing raw HTML. With that, we built CMS and
web application servers to deliver self-managed database-driven
websites for customers.
Responsible for developing the
framework itself as well as reusable components for web
applications such as email, shopping catalogs, auctions and
shopping carts, graphing financial data, internationalization and
content management systems for our customers.

1996
– 1998 CyberCash Reston, VA
Software
Engineer
CyberCash was one of
the first Internet based credit card processing services.
I was the lead software
engineer responsible for building a robust, secure C++
client/server E-Commerce application which handled over a million
transactions per month for thousands of customers. We wrote
almost everything from scratch, including web serving,
networking, cryptographic and database libraries and it was
ported to all the major UNIX platforms and Windows NT. For
example, one component I built was a custom RFC compliant web
server.
I went on to develop a
prototype implementation of SET (another E-Commerce system) for a
joint partnership with IBM, Netscape and Toshiba. I was the lead
engineer representing the CyberCash team. This project involved
travel to San Francisco, India and Japan, and on-site
collaboration with the other companies during the development,
integration and deployment process. My team won an internal
achievement award for the on-time, on-budget completion of this
project.
Tools: C++, C, Oracle, Raima,
gcc, gdb, Insure++, RogueWave and RSA libraries.

1995
– 1996 CommerceWave Carlsbad, CA
Software
Engineer
As a student on summer
break, I worked as a consultant to develop an Internet based
credit card processing application for CyberCash. I converted it
from a proof of concept written in Perl into a C++ application,
and was hired by CyberCash to develop it as a product based on
that work.
Rapid development schedule (3
months from prototype to first live deployment)
Integrated CyberCash
technology into early E-Commerce sites, such as Wired.com.
Tools: C++, C, Perl
