A challenging position on an experienced team of engineers with opportunities for professional growth. I am especially interested in working with Java application servers using strong object-oriented design methodologies. I generally prefer doing things "the right way" over doing things the easy way.

December2002 January2003 Helped develop presentation and business logic layers for a web-based test suite management system. Work included a strong design and planning component, including class hierarchy and object relationships. Developer / Release Engineer (volunteer) The XML Résumé Library February2002 The XML Résumé Library is an open-source effort to develop an interoperable standard for résumé creation, formatting, and exchange. The project averages about 500 downloads per month. Created a SAX-based filter that allows users to easily target their résumé to jobs at specific companies or in specific industries, while maintaining a complete record of their experience and skills in a single file. Created the Online Résumé Converter, which takes as input an uploaded résumé.xml file and converts it to PDF, HTML, and plain-text. The system is highly portable and designed to have a small footprint. Introduced comma-separated lists and two-column tables to reduce the number of pages necessary for each formatted résumé. Added support for embedded stylesheets and optimized margin sizes, which simplified the transmission of formatted résumés. Improved internationalization support and fixed numerous bugs. Assumed leadership of the project in September 2002, identified important features and bugfixes, implemented them, and released versions 1.5.0 and 1.5.1. Software Engineering Intern Spotlife, Inc. San MateoCA May2000 August2000 Spotlife is a mid-sized company providing webcam/webcast services; their software is included in 2/3 of all video cameras sold and is used to power Yahoo! Video Email and EBay video auctions. During my internship I worked as member of the server engineering team, involved with several independent and partnered projects while working extensively with servlets, J2EE, ATG Dynamo, and the existing codebase. Created servlets-based redirection system used by the entire site Located, documented, and fixed several critical bugs, extending uptimes by 2 orders of magnitude Created a DTD for describing important system processes in XML, as well as XSL stylesheets for tranformation into HTML Implemented several administrative tools as servlets, decreasing admin dependence on the server team Charged with managing code builds and upgrades to the QA servers Software Development Intern Siemens TTB Center BerkeleyCA May1999 May2000 Siemens Technology-to-Business Center is a high-tech incubator / research center focused on developing ideas into technology to be used by its parent company, Siemens AG. While there, I designed and implemented a web-based bookmarking system that included user-to-user bookmark sharing and messaging, and a browser-embedded user-interace. Feedback from user groups was consistently positive. Designed/implemented a relational database schema Designed/implemented web-based front end (PHP) System included user authentication, access control, and a customizable UI Created COM "Explorer Bar" for use in Internet Explorer 5 I enjoy travel, snowboarding, running, scuba diving, and conversational Italian. I have recently spent some time mountain biking and hiking. Besides the XML Résumé project, I have been an occasional contributor to and tester for KDE and the FreeBSD ports system, as well as SGI's File Alteration Monitor. February 2002
