• Member of Technical Leadership Team, providing direction in establishing requirements, standards for design, technology selection, implementation and process improvement across the application platform.

• Led medium-size team of Java developers and QA staff

• Rehabilitated, enhanced and maintained critical applications (Comprehensive logging framework overhaul, tuning garbage collection, elimination of long-standing memory leaks and thread leaks resulting in reduced operational overhead and greatly increased uptime, improved CORBA error handling and diagnostic capabilities, addition of JMX monitoring and configuration)

• Designed 2nd generation middle-tier architecture with a focus on stateless operation and clustered applications

• Piloted use of agile methodology (Scrum), resulting in unprecedented visibility into progress and predictability in the release process

• Instrumental in the conversion of an aging, ad hoc build and release infrastructure to a system based on git, maven and continuous integration processes

• Provided 24 / 7 second tier support to Operational Team

• Mentored junior team members

• Rehabilitated existing Java / TIBCO RV applications codebase used to collect and publish real-time order and execution data throughout the firm: Researched / identified all dependencies and aligned with Lehman’s equities framework releases. Upgraded, maintained and supported 30+ existing real-time order and execution application instances. Overall effort resulted in a ten-fold decrease in the internal latency of the application and greatly enhanced maintainability.

• Co-designed and implemented 2nd generation real-time application framework. Assumed project leadership and delivery responsibilities. Automated build / packaging of applications in-line with emerging firm standards using IBM BuildForge and HP OpsWare.

• Co-architected, designed and implemented a JMX-based service framework for ESM Integrator using JBoss 3.2.x.

• Designed and implemented a data transformation engine based on the Spring Framework, using Spring’s inversion of control and aspect-oriented programming features.

• Integrated ESM Integrator alerting mechanism with JBoss JMX / SNMP Adapter to generate SNMP Traps for in-house use of CA Unicenter NSM / Service Desk and BMC Patrol.

• Architected, designed, implemented and maintained paging system for the existing ESM Integrator Remote Service.

• Implemented continuous integration process using CruiseControl for automation of builds and unit-test execution.

• Responsible for application profiling, troubleshooting, debugging and performance tuning during release candidate build / QA cycles.

• Co-designed processes for interviewing and evaluating engineering candidates, technical employee career planning and performance evaluations.

• Collaborated with a team of architects providing technical direction in: establishing requirements, standards for design, implementation and testing of HP's J2EE Application Server (HP-AS).

• Co-designed and implemented the HP-AS Configuration Console for the HPAS 8.0 release.

• Designed, implemented and delivered “Internationalization Trail Map:” an application illustrating I18n concepts and best practices for Java and J2EE developers for the HP-AS 8.0 release.

• Established guidelines and best practices for Java Internationalization across HP Middleware product teams. Wrote and presented “I18n Fundamentals” course to engineering staff.

• Co-authored “Internationalization Requirements for Servlet Containers,” published on Developer.com in May 2002.
