EXPERIENCE

 

State of Arizona, ADOA - Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology Phoenix, AZ              6/12 – Present             

             

              Manager, Application Development

 

Main Responsibility

 

As Application Development Manager I am responsible for multiple cross-functional teams with responsibilities that include providing team direction and growth opportunities, individual/team goal support and review, resource management and project allocation, priority definitions, policy and procedure development and implementation, and overall technical and business strategies. 

 

The cross-functional teams under my direct/indirect management include the Application Development team (Developers), Database Resource Management team (DRM Manager & DBA’s), Arizona Financial Information System team (AFIS Manager, AFIS QA and Cobol Developers), Vendor Management team (Vendor/Engagement Manager), Business Analytics team (BA Manager, BA’s), ERP Development & Implementation team (ERP Manager, Application Developers, Report Developers, Security, QA, and BA). This compromises my team of 40+ direct/indirect reports.

 

Major Accomplishments

 

·         Administration: My initial findings once my tenure with ASET began revealed there were many talented resources, but the teams were not functioning as efficient as they could be. In addition, there was a lack of documentation for much of our business processes and procedures which already exist while many necessary business processes and procedures needed to be developed. I quickly began a reorganization of my teams which moved to a separation of duties between support and new development while also implementing a strategy that transformed the teams from operational task management and development to a Management by Objective (MBO) strategy. During this process two new teams were created (BA, QA) which created better team synergy and quality control between our development teams and our customers (internal & external). In addition, all processes and procedures have been developed and documented to meet organizational business needs allowing for efficient training and knowledge transfer as team dynamics change.

 

·         Strategic & Initiative Projects: The State of Arizona is very decentralized which creates agency collaboration issues for both business and technology needs. One of the visions for ASET was to develop a PaaS offering which the state and all its entities have the ability to leverage and contribute to. In addition, the platform, as well as other technologies used, must be open-source. With this directive it was the decision of myself and my team to move to PHP and Java based products for the application tier, MySQL for the database tier, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (later replaced with CentOS) for the operating system and Apache for the web server. WSO2 was the enterprise middleware solution chosen to base our PaaS offering on as opposed to a completely in-house developed solution as this platform was to be developed and operational within fiscal year 2013. This middle tier platform is based on the WSO2 suite of products including Enterprise Service Bus, Application Server, Identity Server, Business Process Server, Business Rules Server, Data Services Server, API Manager, Elastic Load Balancer and Business Activity Monitor. This platform will allow any front end presentation layer framework (PHP, .NET, Java, etc.) to communicate with any back end database technology (MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.) without being tightly coupled to one or the other. Therefore, this solution is efficiently scalable and cost effective. The PaaS offering provides agencies the ability to start their development projects further along as opposed to from scratch (i.e. Facebook applications). In addition, most of our work is open-source which allows other agencies to consume and expand functionality as needed. Finally, it was determined to be in the best interest of the state that this platform be hosted in a cloud environment, so my team implemented a cloud based solution using Amazon Web Services.

 

Sogeti USA Phoenix, AZ              10/10 – 4/12             

             

              Manager, Application Development in New Technologies

 

Main Responsibility

 

·         As manager I provided expertise in many areas including software development, industry specific software applications, process tools and improvements, project management, personnel management, and SDLC improvements and implementation. As a consultant I provided more than staff augmentation as it was necessary to develop and implement the solutions necessary to improve and grow the business of any client.

 

Major Accomplishments

 

·         My first task as manager was to bring together and manage a team of developers and BAs. The team needed to accurately and efficiently gather requirements and develop a project plan for a year end project. This project had high visibility reaching the Director of IT Services and the CIO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. With many deliverables and a short time span to complete them we moved efficiently and effectively. I provided a realistic plan with achievable milestones giving the project early success. This success progressed with future releases allowing executive management the ability to schedule enterprise level upgrades to the system that would have otherwise been delayed.

 

·         Working with executive management on a daily basis at Blue Cross Blue Shield of AZ, I was able to understand the impediments preventing the efficient and productive work environment necessary to accomplish department goals. With this information I was able to bring together two teams of BCBSAZ employees and develop a strategy for process improvements and their implementation. Recognizing the need for proper tools we developed and implemented a project plan for tool acquisition and in some cases tool creation. As well, the need for SDLC improvements was necessary. After clearly defining the SDLC steps and what was necessary to successfully implement them they were put into effect department wide. This gave all departments interacting with IT Services, as well as personnel within the department, standards and measurable deliverables related to the SDLC.

 

·         Microsoft SharePoint 2003 – 2010 Migration – Managed both project and development team members from the beginning phases including client proposal and statement of work (SOW) to delivery and client acceptance. The team consisted of both client and Sogeti personnel which included developers, architects, business analysts, and QA resources.

Advertising Checking Bureau Tempe, AZ              5/07 – 10/10             

             

              Manager, Enterprise Applications

 

Main Responsibility

 

·         As the enterprise applications manager I worked closely with management on RFI, RFP and all other pre-development items needed to supplement the sales team during prospective client meetings. At the conclusion of the sales process I provided a project plan including all items of our SDLC. I also provide technical expertise in the .NET Framework (1.x & 2.0), C#.NET, VB.NET, ASP.NET and SQL development. My duties included the management of our Production Support department which maintains all applications within the company. This includes legacy applications using Classic ASP and Access as well as current technology applications using .NET and SQL Server. Our applications are developed using SCRUM, an agile development approach. Additionally, my responsibilities including hiring new employees, employee training, employee reviews, employee mentoring and the dismissal of employees. Client list included DirecTV, Pioneer, Sony Consumer Electronics, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, Verizon, Fox, Toyota and GM.

 

·         The initial SDLC which was followed by the development teams was the waterfall approach. One of my initial responsibilities was to implement an agile SDLC in which all development teams would follow. As manager I decided to implement the Scrum methodology. Following the Scrum methodology we were able to efficiently develop applications using two week sprints and provide our development teams, as well as our clients, instant feedback in regards to project status and change management.

 

Major Accomplishments

 

·         One of my first duties after joining the ACB team was to take a deteriorating client relationship with the largest client and create a productive and profitable business environment for both parties. The client expectations were not being met by the software application and the IT department’s business procedures for handling application issues and new development. We implemented a streamlined issue tracking and change order process using MS SharePoint and MS Project as well as put development standards in place to create a more quality product. In addition, our BA’s and Project Managers were given direction on how to better manage client relations. All these changes together brought about the desired result and were implemented throughout the IT department for all current and future clients and projects.

 

·         During a span of 12 months I was able to put into place a system used for evaluating developer skills allowing me to place them in the best fit role which created a more productive environment. This helped create more efficient application development which brought down costs, allowed for smaller development teams and consistently brought in projects under budget and on time.

              Senior Application Developer

 

Main Responsibility

 

·         As senior application developer I was responsible for the employees on our development team which consists of 10 developers. I worked with the developers and their clients through the entire life cycle of their projects. Some of my key responsibilities include the hiring of new employees, employee training, employee reviews, employee mentoring, client relations, new project proposals and project analysis.

 

·         As a senior developer I work closely with clients of all types in all facets of their SDLC. I work with end users to build the application that functions in a way that best suits their needs along with working with business and project managers to keep the project on time and within budget.

 

Major Accomplishments

 

·         As senior application developer, one of my duties is to constantly analyze our business practices. I have put into place a system for tracking projects in a more structured and streamlined environment using Microsoft Project Server. Within this application each developer can easily and consistently manage their client hours. I have also developed an integration piece between Microsoft SharePoint, used for our network technicians to enter client hours, and our accounting system. This prevented double entry of data into the two systems.

 

·         Developed a reporting system for the Arizona Army National Guard based on accounting data pulled from the Arizona Financial Information System (AFIS) mainframe. This system consists of a Windows application used to download all AFIS data and upload that data into a SQL Server 2005 database.  All reports are viewable from a new secure web application which uses SQL Server Reporting Services.

Interaction Information Technology Mesa, AZ              8/05 – 1/06             

             

              Senior Software Engineer

 

Main Responsibility

 

·         As the senior software engineer, I was responsible for leading and mentoring a team of developers and to assist them during development. I developed standards for business processes and development procedures. Worked closely with clients to create a workflow for the life span of new applications and / or products. Traveled to client sites for new installs, training and support.

 

 

Major Accomplishments

 

·         Created new functionality for our software product that allows the user to build a web page using a HTML module that works like Microsoft Word so that the user can drag and drop objects to build a web page. The module also allows the user to modify the source code HTML if he or she wishes to do so. Also included in the module is a preview section so that the user can preview the page before it is saved. This process goes a step further by allowing the user to add validation to the HTML form elements. When the user is done building the web page the process reads the HTML file that has been saved and lists out all HTML form elements that can be validated. The validations that are chosen are saved to an XML file. The final step in this process takes the HTML file and the XML file and creates an aspx page and the C# code behind using DOM. The HTML file and XML file can be edited after being saved.
