JOB EXPERIENCE:
October 2000 - Present (7/2001)
Senior Software Engineer / Sr. Web Applications Developer Tiaxa, Inc.
Tiaxa is a web-based Latin American portal located at www.tiaxa.com which features a
web interface to wireless services, email, and other communications services. Originally
hired on a contractual basis to restructure and upgrade the site from version 1.0 to
version 2.0. Involved a complete re-write of all the ASP code as well as the
creation of services. Involved optimization of ASP web site by upgrading SQL code
used throughout the site, ensuring the use of pooled ADO connections, standardization
of variables and other logical optimizations, not used in versions prior. Reverse-
engineered this very complicated application from the ground up, implementing
optimized code and administration. There was no documentation to work from so
thorough analysis was required from day one.
Other tasks included the programming of Services running on Windows2000 which do
scheduled tasks such as notification of email receipt and calendar events through SMS
(Short Message Service) which are received on cellular phones. Also, architected
applications for transmission of SMS messages from Tiaxa servers to remote WIS
servers for large carriers.
Currently working on porting Windows applications to UNIX platform using Perl and C on
UNIX. Include custom SMTP components using UNIX sockets and RPC interface. Also
working with Perl DBI and object-oriented Perl to port current Windows-based
applications to UNIX and Oracle. Use of MOD_PERL in both C and Perl.
Additionally, I implemented on Tiaxa a content management system of my own design
which provides for complete content management of the web site, in multiple languages,
by non-programmers, involving XML / DOM on the backend with no database calls. This
tool is extremely helpful to the company because it is important to them to serve the
exact same site on multiple domains in multiple languages, and my content
administration system enables this for them, with one-time administration of multi-
language content from one console. Also includes XML formatting with XSL.
