Experience:

• Software Engineer, LaserFiche Document Imaging, May 2002 - present
  
  • Added important features to core server product which is implemented primarily in multithreaded C++. Worked on both development and release branches for 6.03-6.12 and 7.0.0-7.2.0
  • Designed and implemented next generation DCOM communication layer. Maintained and expanded legacy RPC layer for backwards compatibility with existing client applications. Expanded metadata, audit, search and access control systems. Added records management capabilities for automatically tracking document retention schedules and processes.
  • Greatly increased performance on Oracle platform by replacing ADO driver with custom OCI level driver inside in-house database abstraction layer. Debugged problems with MS SQL ADO layer.
  • Designed new SQL table structures and relationships to implement functionality on Oracle and MS SQL Server. Wrote stored procedures in T-SQL and PL/SQL
  • Implemented functionality that allowed product to obtain DoD 5015.2 compliance certification and pass recertification test after two years.
  • Wrote user-friendly MFC-based utility to automate migration of SQL data from versions 6.x to versions 7.x including repairs for referential integrity constraint violations in 6.x data. Also wrote all SQL upgrade scripts for 7.x branch (for example, to move from 7.0.1 to 7.1) for both MS SQL and Oracle
  • Wrote diagnostic utility and MFC-based GUI frontend to improve efficiency of technical support staff by automating the acquisition of common configuration details on end user machines.
