OTX Research

Architect / Engineer

http://www.surveymatch.com From: 4/20/2009 To: 4/20/2009 Location: Los Angeles, Ca Helped to create the R&D department in order to spearhead new projects with the goal of creating new profit centers while maximizing on current ones. Part of the interviewing process to create our new team. Set up a fully automated development environment with true continuous integration (using NUnit, NAnt, CruiseControl.net, NCover, NDepend, custom NAnt tasks, psexec, and SVN/Tortoise). This included three separate environments for development, staging, and production. Designed and implemented a flexible enterprise architecture for new projects using an nTier approach that employed various patterns/concepts: MVC, IoC (StructureMap), TDD, DDD, and Repository. Tested new Microsoft framework for ASP.NET MVC to replace MVP in the presentation layer. Implemented BizTalk Server as the hub of our SOA based application. Successfully converted the company from a non-process driven development process to a Scrum/Agile development process. Led various development teams and business groups as the Scrum Master through the agile process. Responsible for coding the brains of the “Cortex” project (respondent routing and profiling engine). Researched many rule engines to replace BizTalk’s rule engine. Installed and configured ILOG Rules for .NET. Migrated business logic out of Cortex and into the new rules system. Wired Cortex to the rules system. Implemented a MemCached Win32 centralized caching layer. Implemented a new rules based system to externalize and separate business rules from application logic using ILOG’s (IBM) Rules for .NET.
