GTX2 Java code where necessary to adhere to agile programming methodology,
retrofitted existing methods with unit tests, and added unit tests for new
methods to adhere to test-driven development methodology.

developing a production CGI core dump reporting program using UNIX shell, PERL,

· Led the ELVA application development team through compiler migration from
VAX/C to DEC/C, improved the team’s productivity by segregating core-layer
framework files from product-oriented files, reduced production down-time
deployment windows from 45 to 20 minutes by tuning the deployment scripts to
appropriately handle the segregated framework files and configuration files
unique to the target application environment, and retained application’s
development environment integrity by tuning the source code library’s internal
files.
