I focused on ensuring the API was responsive, developing and approving architecture designs for new features, creating core API components, and mentoring other team members.

Senior Software Developer

I was the leading developer for the "Design Studio" tool suite in the upcoming release of the BST Enterprise project. These tools allowed business analysts to create XML-based models for business entities, security primitives, and workflows that formed the core data layer of the application. The tools utilized WCF services to communicate and interact with Windows services to verify and publish the model information to the database. The primary design tool used Windows Forms and C# 4.0.

Additionally, I developed an automated continuous integration build process using CruiseControl.NET and MSBuild. This process customized the CruiseControl.NET installation by adding extensions and custom XSL stylesheets to format the build email and web dashboard reports. I also developed MSBuild extensions and standard target files.

I played a role in establishing the Jira workflow used to track issues throughout the product lifecycle. I also assisted in creating custom integration between CruiseControl.NET, Team Foundation Server (TFS), and Jira, which allowed for relationships between Jira issues, TFS work items (for check-in policies), and builds.

Application Services Manager

I led a team of 5 developers in creating the latest version of the ODAR application. I redesigned the application's architecture to enhance the Accounts Receivable (AR) system. I streamlined all applications under a unified framework model written in C# that acted as the application's run-time library. This framework supported a business layer shared across all the application layers and various application interfaces like ASP.NET WebForms, traditional Client/Server applications, and C# based Windows Services.

Senior Application Developer

As a senior-level developer and team lead, I worked on a series of applications that created a claims management system for the Audit and Recovery Operations (ARO) department. The system tracks overpayments and recoveries and generates refund request letters. The goal was to support an annual target of approximately $225 million by ARO.

The web application used ASP, extensive DHTML, and CSS for a standard Windows GUI interface. VB COM+ components, XML, XSL, and XPath queries. The database was migrated from IBM DB2 on Windows 2000 to SQL Server 2000 on a clustered Windows 2000 server.

In addition to the web-based application, a supporting VB 6 application was rewritten as a Windows Service using VB.NET to provide multi-threading capabilities and then rewritten to C#.

In December 2002, this application was launched nationally across all UnitedHealth ARO departments. It was considered a commercial application and was a significant success.

Senior Application Developer

I served as a team lead and senior-level developer on multiple projects utilizing various technologies such as ASP, VB COM+ components, XML, XSL, and XPath queries, SQL 2000 databases, SharePoint Portal Server, E-Gain, ASPECT voice systems integration (CTI), Call-Center CRM applications, and fulfillment/shipping/warehouse integration systems.

I participated in infrastructure design and development, which involved developing and documenting our design/development methodology and creating standard document templates such as System Design, Risk Reduction, System Requirements, RFQ/RFP, and System Test Plan templates.

Furthermore, I developed a set of standard infrastructure components and tools that provided a common framework for data validation, data access, error handling, session management, site configuration, and common utility functions. These components simplified the development process to a "building-block" style, allowing developers to use and extend the standard components and write project-specific ones. I also developed high-level infrastructure components, which included internally used applications for time-tracking facilities, work order request management, and resource scheduling.
