SUMMARY

I am seeking a role to lead architecture and development of large-scale systems. As an experienced team
player and consultant, I have helped many organizations setup new and migrate legacy architecture and
systems to newer technologies. My experience utilizing public/private cloud technologies that leverage
responsive design to deliver applications on mobile and web platforms.

I am very goal and delivery focused individual with a broad range of skills who is enthusiastic about
delivering value to clients.

WebAPI for back-end services. Azure was used for development operations and setup VSO to manage all
development.

2014 – 2016 Custom Application Development for ARS Roadside at Allstate.com

 Lead team to build a mobile responsive application based on Angular to order roadside assistance.
The application is similar to the Uber application in functionality.

 Architect and lead development of a common Javascript framework that works with jQuery,
Angular and WinJS for all HTML client platforms. This led to team and staff reduction.

many roles including architect, lead, development, design, and task master.

2011 – 2012 Mobile and Web Application Architecture and Development at Lincoln Financial Group
 Lead a team of several developers on the architecture and analysis for the mobile applications.
This included work on thin client frameworks, device persistence, securing data at rest on client
devices, and the service-based architecture leveraging Spring and Hibernate.
 Define reference architecture to deliver Spring-based services returning JSON, XML or SOAP to
client applications.
 Development of a POC iPad application for technology validation with Sencha and Phonegap
libraries demonstrating installable multi-platform thin-client mobile applications. Some efforts
included encrypting SQLite databases on iOS devices to enable 401K enrollments via an iPad.
 Development of a POC enrollment application using Java and Spring services with Ajax/JSON as
the communication mechanism between the iOS iPad client and the server. This POC included a
custom provider extension to Spring Security to leverage a home grown identity provider.
 Development of a POC for a Mobile Application for policy inquiry and policy status change event
inquiries including geographic queries and integration to Google Maps. The platform is Java using
Spring MVC on the server side and iOS on an iPad for the client application.
 Rollout, support and troubleshoot of Annuities Sales Tool for iPad. Development is in Objective-C
on iOS. Rollout is to 1,100 agents using iPads.
 Development of a POC for Annuities Book of Business, Premium Alerts and Pending Policy
Status applications in the portal and for mobile devices using Sencha, Spring and portlets via JSF
facelets. Services are via Spring MVC using JSON. All applications utilize ESB services via
SOAP.
 Re-architect the Annuities Sales Tool for the portal and iPad rollouts using Sencha (JavaScript
Web 2.0) framework utilizing JSON services on a J2EE server.

Summary: Set architecture direction for the mobile group and involved in a hands-on roll with several
POCs to prove out the architecture. Multiple re-usable frameworks created.

2010 – 2011 Portal Application Architecture and Development at Lincoln Financial Group
 Development of POC Portal using WebSphere Portal and WCM on Amazon Cloud.
 Development of POC Portal using WebLogic Portal, UCM and Oracle Identity Management.
 Architectural analysis of all major components where different implementation options exist.
 Prototype reference architecture for new applications – WSRP for remote portlets, JAX-WS for
services, JSF/JSP and, at times, JSF with facelets using XHTML for legacy application integration.
 Prototype and document integration patterns between portal and WESB, WebLogic portal and
WebSphere hosted services, portal and .NET hosted services.
 Complete analysis of services registries including WSRR, Systinet, JAXR w WAS UDDI, JAXR
with jUDDI, Oracle Enterprise Service Repository
 Use WebSphere WS-Policy system to incorporate a custom token in the WS-Security header.
 Development of logging and audit patterns with sample code using Spring AOP.
 Create Maven archetypes to generate project stubs for project consistency.
 Document standards and write guidelines for development of applications on the portal.

Summary: Multiple technology POCs and setting architecture directions.
