EXPERIENCE

Intuit
Software Engineering Manager - Plano, TX  (August 2006 to Present)

As a Software Engineering Manager (Since December 2006) I have been handled team
member’s performance reviews and other related tasks, project timelines, code
review, configuration, code release, interviewed new candidates, recommended
salary or promotions, etc., was responsible for training and mentoring many new
team members.

I manage the code releases and versioning process thru 5 different environments
including 2 production sites. I led the team that initiated the system alerting
and monitoring procedures to maintain a high availability and am a leader in
issue troubleshooting and driving root cause resolution. 

I played a key role in bringing Intuit’s first Active-Active site online from
configuration to release(s) until it was live.

Led the team from .Net 1.1 thru .Net 3.5 (C#, ASP.Net 3.5, WCF, MSMQ and Visual
Studio Team System 2008). At one point we supported 3 versions of .Net code in
production as we rolled in changes. 

Started as a Senior .Net Developer where I created a scalable front end Web
Service to integrate other Intuit systems to our backend gateway using .Net 2.0
and C#. The gateway is currently processing as much as four billion a year in
charges, 50+ million transactions per year going thru this Web Service, and can
handle up to 100 transactions per second each averaging less than 200
milliseconds for all internal system work.

Worked with and fixed many other systems to contribute to the success of each
project including a project to decrypt and re-encrypt 6 million credit cards. A
part of the team to improve system performance we discovered and implemented
changes to improve the throughput from 5 tps to up to 100 tps.

Senior .Net Developer - Consultant / Contractor
August 2003 to 08-2006

Intellimar Solutions- Lead/Senior .Net Developer (February 2006 to August 2006)
As a lead developer and with a team of only 3 developers, we were able to take
iKlipz.com from concept to beta in under three months. Using ASP.Net 2.0, C# 2.0,
SQL Server 2005, Web Services, HTML, XML, java script, AJAX, and other
technologies the team built the entire site which included: a custom Membership
Provider, Blogs, Groups, Forums, Classified Ads, Events, the member My Page
section, video upload, an AJAX mail system, People and Movie search, and
integrated Instant Messaging to name a few.

Code Authority- Senior .NET Developer - Frisco, TX  (January 2004 to February
2006)
Architect and develop the client and object framework for a module of software
design to gather crime data compliant FBI reporting standards.  The application
is designed as a wizard that uses or builds an XML document that incidents are
based on.  The application used C#, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, AJAX, XML, XSTL, XPATH, SQL
Server 2000, T-SQL, JavaScript, HTML, DHTML. Advanced use of object oriented
class design and use of .NET “Reflection”.

Managed the conversion of database scripts to a database versioning system. The
previous system had no order and consequently we were unable to define what
constituted a database build version or verify what version a client database
was. The project involved creating a baseline database which contained among
other objects 525 tables, 1284 and stored procedures. The system maintains files
using the file system and is under source control. The databases are managed via
scripts (run using the command line or script file) and a windows application so
it is a no-touch system. The tool can back up a database before execution,
execute sql scripts on a granular level, multiple modes include repair, upgrade,
create, delete, state (implementations for a particular state like Texas), logs
each action into a file as well as sending the output to a command window,
maintains the version, and the execution is wrapped in a transaction.
