Statement: I am an applications architect who successfully produces J2EE enterprise-class business applications. I focus on excellent object and service oriented design, and enforce best practices in the teams that I lead. I am interested in technical leadership positions on agile software development projects.
Work History:
Health
Care Services Corporation
Chicago,
Illinois. May 2006 – present.
I am currently the Technical Lead overseeing the development of HCSC's ASO Cost Billing System, a service oriented application responsible for billing over $1 billion in claims back to self-insured customers every month. I am responsible for the design and ensuring that my team of 15 developers deploy a high-quality, technically sound product. In this case, it is a J2EE 1.4 application running on WebSphere 6.1 on AIX servers, using DB2 8 on z/OS, and communicating with numerous distributed and mainframe applications. Other technologies used include Java 5, Dojo (AJAX), Spring 2.5, Hibernate, MQ, and CFX. The development methodology is a mixture of TDD and Crystal Clear.
In 1996, I designed and led the development of Several web services for handling EDI requests for eligibility from providers and the BCBS association. This was a Java 1.4 POJO application running on WebSphere 6.0 using ILOG, Spring 2.0, and Apache Axis 1.4.
I am also a primary member of HCSC's Technical Reference Model team that determines the company's application development policies, standards, and guidelines.
