Married to Amore Natalie Father of Anna Keiko (age 8) & Moriah (age 5) & Ilian Kai (age 2) Keywords: Efficiency, Thoroughness and Timing. Work climate: trust, open, direct Occupations: Family, Aikido, Software construction in the widest sense, riding my bicycle/bike, meditation, strategic games (Go, wargames, risk, social games ). What do I bring Summary of what you can expect: Social team player Wide experience of the software process (architecture, design, construction, deployment) In depth knowledge of the software construction process Long term vision Agile expertise with RUP background Education IHAM Ind. Ing. Electricity - Electronics Option Computer science General scientific education Learned how to organize work & Organize people (as class representative) Thesis ( ): Alcatel 2-tier Stock management MS-Access GUI + DB Continued an MS Access 2.0 application for managing resources

2 Experience Agile programming Practices XP Refactoring Pair programming Test-driven development Continuous Integration Collective code ownership 5 year 3 year 3 year Planning - SCRUM Set-up customer role (product owner, sprint meetings) Plan-board organisation Extract Stories (UseCases) from requirements Transparent reporting (burn-down charts) Organise daily stand-up meetings (scrum) Train developers to become part of a cross-functional team 1 year Tools Visual Studio 2005 (test & refactor system) Resharper (extended refactor plug-in) NUnit, NCover (TDD tools) CruiseControl, NAnt / MsBuild (CI tools) Set-up & manage source control Subversion, Tortoise, Kdiff3, Beyond Compare 1 year 1 year 1 year 2006 & 2007 XP Days Spreker Share experience as speaker at the yearly XPdays : : (4 weeks) Sony Consultant Refactoring existing agile processes Created base application for managing multiple modules Refactor existing Nant scripts to easily deploy to DEV, DEMO & PROD

3 De POST Team leader Working into existing Com+ driven multi-tier web-based (rich-thin client) application for the post office counters. Transforming VB6 server-layer to C# Migrate simple data objects to behavioural entities Migrate from PVCS sourcecontrol to parallel development with Subversion.NET wizards next to MSHTA scripts on the client MS-SQL (accessed via CRUD stored procedures) Introducing agile development Architecture, design(patterns) & technical lead of new application (Remus) Introducing new tools: CruiseControl, NAnt, NUnit, Resharper, NCover, NDoc, Maintenance & Release management (from april 2006) Setup & manage the parallel development branches. Fix & enhance applications in production Package & release fixes & enhancements to Test & Production environements. Continuous improvement of develop & maintenance process Training & guidance of juniors Technical & organizational lead of the maintenance team Project: Remus (from september 2005) Remus must calculate the remunerations for resellers of postal products. Leading development-team for a SmartClient application, interfacing with numerous postal applications. Reporting to project manager & analyst. Demo s for customer. Setup & implement release strategy for Test & Production environments. It s a pilot project for : full dotnet applications in DE POST, agile develoment, quality & progress reporting, deployment. Project: PostStation Core team (from april 2005) Refactoring sections of the POSTSTATION application. Adding new functionality to the POSTSTATION application.

4 Business Architects Int. Senior developer Working into existing Com+ driven multi-tier banking application Debugging & Refactoring Implementing new features (iterative development, testing) Feedback to & reworking with architect (designs & documentation) GUI & Server components in VB6 Data in MS SQL2000 Large framework exists Project: CBLoans (5 months) Maintenance on GUI, Server, Batch scripts for automated processes Completing software documentation where holes were found. Project: Sinister (4 months) Implementing new process (VB6, vbscript, Stored Procedures in MS-SQL) touching all main processes of the application. Designs from architect reworked into documentation useful for developers Feedback into Architect documentation Project: Payments conversion (1 month) Implementing new tool (VB6) to prepare raw data to an acceptable format (CODA-128). Translate client s wishes into design diagrams. Short-cycle, iterative development SW documentation delivered with application User help implemented Protime NV Senior developer Working into existing Client/Server Software (+Intranet Application) Debugging & Refactoring Implementing new features (Inception, analysis, iterative development, testing, deployment) Building a framework to support the whole team. Sourcesafe & Clearcase (version control) IIS & ASP (intranet application) Rational Unified Process

5 Project: ProTime, main application (s) Finishing 2 nd version of the main application: Fat client Thin server DBs VB6 executables VB6 Dlls Sybase Oracle MS-SQL 7, 2000 Moving DB access from RDO to ADO PL-SQL MS-SQL Maintenance. Mainly 2 nd line, Sometimes at the client Project: ProNet, web application (1 year) Maintenance on Intranet application HTML & Java classes on client, VB6 on webserver (IIS) Start building of library framework to reuse common functionality Project: Deployment (1 year) Initiated a deployment mechanism while working on the other projects. Analysing the application build-process & creation of Install application (Installshield, Wise) Building tools (VB6) to automate the painstakin issue of file dependencies & incremental builds. Handed over this project to foreign team (Romania) & follow up. Setting up a Build PC Documenting the Build Process so that anyone can perform a build of asserted quality. Project: ProCost, new feature (s) 2 fazed extension of the main ProTime app. (VB6) 1 st fase had little impact. 2 nd fase required lots of refactoring in core components. Rather simple design reworked into architecture & design documents as base before implemening & as communication base to Helpdesk, Configurators and other developers (in-house & foreign) Extended framework (started for ProNet) to reuse code in components rather than in shared classes & modules of massive executables. Reworking Errorhandling into one that is more robust. (error ripples back to a component that can decide whether to terminate gracefully or continue). Error log includes callstack for debugging.

6 Alcatel (Space & Defence) Junior developer Took over (HW & SW) MAP project (part of Awacs radio system) Working solo (as in not in a team). Ran full cycle (analysis, implementation, test, deploy) Created DOS batch files to support Compile Build Release rituals Setup Perforce (version control) structure. Project: MAP (15 months) Embedded application written in ANSI-C to control the front panel of the AWACS radio system. TestApplication written in VB6 Documentation for Quality department (test interface) Development documentation (application structure) Quick Job student Practical exercise in teamwork

7 Learned Current business Overview of what I learned: Continuous Process Improvement Agile Programming & planning techniques Communication with client (do s & donot s) Planning based on facts (not wishful thinking) Setting up Requirements, Use Cases/Stories, UML modelling Link analysis documents to implementation (& back) Testing & Refactoring as basic development tools OO development (best practices & performance issues) OO mapped to relational DBs (Do s & DoNot s) Unit, integration & acceptance tests Setting up build, install & deployment procedures Setting up Source Control (file-lock & file-merge) Use & config Defect & Feature tracking (linked to source code) Link design to code (keep the documentation up to date) Quality software ( anti-aging methodologies, long term vision) Building & maintaining multi-tier applications Change management Team management Expanding my knowledge about: Converting distributed desktop experience to Web environment (ASP.Net, webservices, PHP, drupal, Apache, SmartClient, ) Project management Efficiency improvement (eliminate waste) Social skills (deal with resistance, strengthen collaboration, )

8 Technologies Overview of known technologies Insight in software construction as a whole exceeds the ever-changing language-specific knowledge. Therefore I can quickly adjust to new technologies.
