PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

2000 2001
SOFTSET, Santa Clara, California

Principal Engineer

Responsible for the maintenance and development of features for a paperless manufacturing application Solumina utilizing the DELPHI RAD 5.0 development environment.

During my tenure I was a key member of a team that drastically reduced the customer problems with the product and introduced many new product enhancements and features. I was personally responsible for the development and release of a configurable barcode driven command and data collection interface to the product.

Of late I was developing a remote data collection facility for the Solumina product using an infrared data transfer interface from the DELPHI application Solumina and a PALM OS based application Code Warrior 7 for PALM OS that would transmit/receive data and manage a dynamically created data collection application interface between the our product and the disconnected PDA device.

Sheridian Tax Services, Green Valley, CA

Consultant

Key member of a team responsible for bringing to market a major revision of Ceridian s Client server based Tax Management System TMS . Written in Borland C++ 5.02, the existing product was an undocumented application requiring extensive renovation to incorporate new functionality for tax requirements in all states.

In addition to new functions the application required a rewrite to eliminate some 250 known critical defects and customer problem reports. This had to be completed within an eight-week period with a team of one other developer and myself.

I provided much needed maturity to the development and certification of the product by introducing modifications and consistency to the environment by introducing a more document and object oriented approach.
