Director, Database Systems

Architected and lead the team responsible for the Digital Rights Management (DRM) implementation.  Developed administration front-end and J2EE backend, creating content for the already developed frontend.  The administration front end allowed Throttle Box employees to create Throttle Box files using Digital Rights Management options and attach those options to the media components within the file.  This information was then stored as an XML document and placed in an Oracle database.  The server would receive a request for the particular file, the XML would then be taken out of the database and then a new dynamic file would be created.  Some options might be to dynamically place advertisement inside of the Box file based upon history of the user or demographics from an ad server.  This was accomplished using Java, Swing, Servlets, XML, Oracle, JDBC and InterTrust’s Digital Rights Management software, Apache/Tomcat and IBM Websphere enabled.  CVS and Microsoft Source Safe maintained source code, HTML and documentation.  The build environment was Unix build.
