Projects included integrating processes and applications across a wide spectrum of technologies and platforms, teaching Testing and Design skills, and mentoring other developers.\r\n\r\n\r\nSenior Consultant, University of Michigan Health Systems    Ann Arbor, MI, 08/2002 - 12/2003\r\nThe Organ Transplantation Information System (OTIS). The original OTIS application was a FoxBase system running on Macs. Responsibilities included the redesign and re-implementation of the system in Java using standard servlet technologies, running on AIX and Oracle, and to train the team in software best practices using the eXtreme Programming methodology and common OOA&D practices and concepts. The Java version was developed and delivered incrementally to allow for integration with the legacy OTIS application while features were being ported and added.\r\n\r\nSenior Consultant, ProQuest    Ann Arbor, MI, 12/2001 - 08/2002\r\nConsulted on HeritageQuestOnline (a US Census index and image retrieval application). Mentored the team in eXtreme Programming techniques and common OOA&D practices and concepts. Application was built on Solaris 2.8 using Java 1.3, Apache and JServ, XML, ICXML (a proprietary templating system), and Oracle.\r\n\r\nApplication Engineer, Great Lakes Technology Group    Southfield, MI, 11/2001 - 12/2001\r\nDealer E-Store, a Web application designed for the perusal and ordering of marketing materials for Ford dealerships. This system was built entirely without tests and consequently suffered in production with an average of 18 bugs per week reported by the customer or found in the logs. In the course of four weeks I was able to infect the system with almost 20% test coverage while continuing to deliver business value to the customer. Through testing and implementing common OO concepts (encapsulation, delegation, polymorphism, composition, inheritance) I led the team in refactoring much of the lower level code base to a cleaner, more maintainable, more efficient sub-system. I moved the team to an automated system of development and deployment through the use of CVS, Ant, JUnit, etc.\r\n\r\nSoftware Engineer, Interface Systems/Tumbleweed Communications    Ann Arbor, MI, 05/2000 - 11/2001\r\nMember of the eXtreme Programming development team for L2i(TM) electronic statements delivery software. L2i(TM) technology enables organizations to deliver legacy information to their clients via the Internet, wireless devices, and cell phones. Responsibilities included object-oriented analysis and design, and development using Java, XML, ASP, DB/2 and SQL Server. After Interface Systems was bought by Tumbleweed Communications I was responsible for developing integration solutions between L2i(TM) and various Tumbleweed products (IME(TM), Statements, Siebel partnership, etc.) using Java, Oracle, and CORBA. I designed and created the Java Layered API that allowed for the sending, retrieval, and storage of virtually any document format. The JLA was the main integration piece for Tumbleweed's SecureGuardian(TM) platform. Development was done on Windows NT/2000 and Solaris.","hireable":true,"public_gists":31,"html_url":"https://github.com/jacaetevha","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jacaetevha","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d21ebccf20562e370eb0a8cf170a0580?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","login":"jacaetevha","following":10}}
