Eliot Research and Consulting (doing contract work for Goodyear Tires), Kingston, ON, Canada
Software Developer, April 2011 - Present
As a contracted software developer, I was the sole developer for three software projects for Goodyear Tires:

• CrossTab: Using XML to specify configuration parameters, the CrossTab displays data from Goodyear's tire manufacturing plant as a multi-tabbed, non-editable grid. The purpose here is to calculate and present data in a format that makes sense to a Goodyear employee. Other features include extensive styling capabilities, charting and raw data view.
• PivotReport: Similar to the CrossTab, allowing rows and columns to be pivoted.
• BuildSequencer: Displays Goodyear's data in an editable list format, where each item in the list has an order number that can be modified by rearranging the items in the list using drag and drop.

Apart from software development, I was responsible for the automated backup of our Subversion source code control repository to the company's Dropbox account.

Technologies used: Flex 4, Java/J2EE (for a RESTful web service), Oracle, XML, Trac

the PYXIS innovation, Kingston, ON, Canada
Software Developer, July 2007 - March 2011
As part of the PYXIS software development team, I worked on their flagship product, WorldView, an application that allows on-the-fly integration, visualization and analysis of geospatial data. My focus was on writing test-driven code (TDD) that is user-facing, examples of which are an undo/redo command system, a data-bounded Tree/List interface for displaying data sources and a plug-in scripting infrastructure enabling easy extension of WorldView's capabilities. Being a small startup, PYXIS empowered me to wear many other hats. I was also in charge of administering and maintaining the servers and hubs that make up PYXIS' P2P network and ensured their smooth operation. Towards the end of my tenure, I was their lead tester. I am especially proud of some of my non-software development work with them:

• Creating and maintaining a continuous integration server to automatically build, test and deploy all our products after every code check-in. (This was set up for all products, WorldView, GeoWeb Stream Server, PyxNet Hub and PyxNet License Server.)
• Rescuing our build and Subversion server from an old and failing hardware by using VMware vCenter Converter (http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/) to convert it to a Virtual Machine and moving it onto new hardware. As a result, builds became twice as fast and we now had an easy-to-perform backup and snapshot plan.
• Constantly encouraging the use of Virtual Machines for defect and deployment testing.
• Configuring and administering Trac, a ticket/incident tracking system, and the in-depth use of it for day-to-day development and testing tasks.
• Setting up LogMeIn (http://www.logmein.com) on all servers for easy remote access from any location.
• Setting up LogMeIn (http://www.logmein.com) on all servers for easy remote access from any location.
• Initiating the use of Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com) to seamlessly share files between employees.
