Selected Actuate as a reporting tool and managed reporting projects. Managed the development of application features and infrastructure projects including a project that created XML interfaces to core data, and a project that provided the ability to add extra fields to core data types.

Senior Programmer: January 1999 – September 1999

Implemented the front and back ends of application features including a web-based Calendar and a Time Card system. Implemented an automated unit testing system for web pages. Implemented a simple object-relational layer to be used in a code-cleanup project

Evaluated the replacement of Extensity’s homegrown rule engine with Neuron Data’s Elements Advisor.

Tools: Java, Weblogic, Windows NT, Microsoft Developer Studio, Visual Café, Perforce, Microsoft SQL Server

Bay One Technologies Group, San Francisco

Senior Programmer: October 1996 - December 1997.

Bay One was later bought by Dean Witter/Morgan Stanley and the product became Morgan Stanley Online.

Developed server-side modules for this web-based stock trading system. Designed, implemented, tested, and released programs that synchronized local data with external mainframe data.

Tools: C++, perl, dblib, DBTools, bash, python, Sybase Open Server, Clear Case, CVS, Sun OS and Solaris, Sun development tools, gnu development tools.

Stanford University, ITSS department

Programmer: October 1995 - October 1996.

Used a use case-based, object oriented design methodology to design a rule-based application intended to aid researchers write grant proposals. Implemented a simple inference engine as a proof of concept for a design that associated rules with objects and a prototype of the application in Smalltalk. Evaluated middle-ware such as workflow systems (In Concert), inference engines (Aion DS), distribution mechanisms (DCE, RMI, CGI) and Java for use in the final implementation.

Tools: Smalltalk on Machintosh, Java, C, perl.

UC Berkeley Dept of Computer Science, Professor Larry Rowe

Research Assistant: May 1992 - March 1993.  Full time summer. Part time during academic year.

Completed an interpreter for a process description language used to speed the development of VLSI chip manufacturing processes. This interpreter generated a program that controlled or simulated the chip production process as it ran. Worked on the server side.

Tools: CLOS (Object Oriented Common Lisp) on Unix with an Ingres database.

UC Berkeley School of Education, Professor Marcia Linn

Research Assistant: May 1990 - May 1992. Full time summer. Part time during academic year.
