Objective

Seeking a full-time permanent position in software development in the San
Diego, California area. Prefer a challenging environment with significant
responsibility. Offer extensive experience in transaction processing,
database design and implementation, client/server and multi-tier systems and
hardware interfacing. Desire to expand further into Internet and Web
technologies, including Java and XML.


Experience

Software developer : Feb, 2001 - present
WebSideStory Inc.

Responsible for a specialized web-server and supporting software for
recording web-analytics data in real-time. Primarily responsible for a
complete re-write to turn it into a more modular framework to allow for
future expansion and for higher performance (baseline capacity in excess of
1.5K requests/second per server). Also required to perform analysis and
customized data collection to troubleshoot customer problems. Work involved
TCP/IP networking in general, advanced HTTP, HTML and Javascript, and
advanced heavily multithreaded Solaris Unix and Linux development.

Software developer : Jan 1995 - Jan 2001, 6 years
Flying J Inc.

Developed point-of-sale software for convenience stores and truck
stops. This software included not only conventional point-of-sale functions,
but hardware interfaces to fuel pumps, card reader and door lock control
hardware, credit-card authorization processes and interfaces to the various
credit-card authorization companies over a network, and back office
financial reports, auditing and other programs. The computer systems in use
included Unix servers and DOS and Windows based PCs.

Various assignments included:
  - Porting the Rogue Wave C++ class libraries to our Unix systems.
  - Developing DOS and Windows based voice-synthesis software, as existing
    solutions were not adequate.
  - Developing an automatic shower-stall access control system integrated
    with the point-of-sale system.
  - Rewriting the fuel pump and card reader control software to be more
    flexible.
  - Developing an interface to a vehicle-mounted RF smart-tag system to
    replace credit cards.
  - Developing an automated fuel inventory monitoring and management system.

The development environment included Visual C++ as well as Unix C/C++
compilers, and SCCS and PVCS version control systems. Our software used the
Informix relational database, working primarily using embedded SQL in the
programs with some stored procedures and database applications developed
using Informix's GUI tools.
