College 1999-2003  WIU Macomb IL
•          Developed graphic UML Modeling tool making use of Java’s Swing and AWT Toolkits to manipulate and display graphical objects. Java’s Double Buffering technology is used for rapid redrawing of objects as only altered segments need recalculation. The program was designed with similar capabilities as ArgoUML; however, rather than redrawing all objects on a single canvas as Argo and other UML Tools do, instead executes line-drawing functionality for the individual UML objects in their respective object and container classes, for improved speed.
•          Developed a Metrics Tool: Measures metrics of source code contained incompilable .java files. This application could be run from the command line or as a GUI program. Deliverables include the source code Java files and a build.xml, used to compile the program using Apache Ant, creating the executable JAR file. For presentation and documentation purposes I created a Software Requirement Specification and Software Design Description and generated all pertinent javadocs.
