My role is as a senior software engineer to support the ATEC organization with new software and systems requirements and modifications and support for their existing systems. The skills required are very broad as they have systems developed with C#, VB.Net, all versions of ASP.Net, T-SQL for database and many other web based skills. Also, I developed REST services and Windows services to support different systems.

Lately I have been redesigning systems to either move to Microsoft Azure cloud or to Microsoft Power Platform.

As our team has grown, I’ve been more mentoring and technical leading.

I was hired by TSCTI but carried over to Caelum when TSCTI lost the contract.

My primary function was to review all development code, analyze with Fortify static code analysis, approve or disapprove and recommend how to address security issues. Also, I had to try to introduce vulnerabilities and hack others’ code. This was not really my expertise so I was not content with this contract.

Another project I worked on was experimenting with different authentication implementations.

• Visual C#
• Authentication, JWT
• Fortify, Static code analysis

I had already been with Wilmington Trust for three years as a contractor. As there are rules that contractors should only be there for two years, they couldn’t keep me on. I left for a year and went back as a full-time. I was a senior developer for a year doing C#, SOA and managing other products from Deloitte, S&P and other vendors. I helped develop a new collateralized loan system system as the lead developer. After most of the development was completed, they wanted me to become an expert in the collateralized loan business to support this system which was not how I wanted to direct my software career.

The IT manager and I were recommended to each other as the Ocean Resort Casino was getting ready to open. I was hired to help get different systems to communication with each other with REST services and RabbitMQ.

I interfaced the Voice Response System (IVR) with REST services, the parking garage and card reader, the turnstyles and card readers, security systems and other systems so that they were all tied together.

Eventually the casino opened and an international casino software vendor took over IT operations so there was not much left for me to do there.

• ASP.Net
• AngularJS

I was hired as a contractor on this team because they needed an expert with Windows Communication Foundation, SOAP, WSDL and other SOA technologies. Later I transitioned to REST and JSON.

Senior software developer for systems to support Rollins rental sites and truck terminals. All of the systems were tied to corporate systems uploading and downloading data via dial up. As these were the IBM PCs I was about as senior as available having had five years with personal computer programming.

Developed and supported branch accounting and various other systems.

Developed a fuel inventory and control system with an electrical engineer who designed a controller called a Microdac. This included embedded development for the Microdac and handhelds, communications between them with RS 232 and communications with the office via RS 232 which communicated directly with corporate with dial-up. Corporate could watch transactions on a graphical display in real time.

This system had handhelds scan the driver, attendant, hub of the vehicle, bar code of the vehicle, start, stop the pumps, and measure the fuel pumped and still in the ground tank. We worked with switches, solenoids, RS 232, embedded.
