Employment History

Software Engineer

These days I spend my time writing client-side video apps in Java, using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Java-to-JavaScript cross-compiler. My team is 100% Agile, with daily scrums, two-week sprints, TDD and code reviews. Tasks include:

Writing reusable modules that are shared with all teams throughout the company
Researching bleeding-edge behavior of HTML5 mobile devices
Engineering and implementing APIs for our customers
Engineering a specialized client-side framework that uses GIN/Guice for dependency injection. The framework inforces inversion-of-control, which gives API users a great deal of customization
Using Maven shade plugin and GWT to reuse thousands of lines of server code on the client. Gave a talk at OSCON about this technique in July 2011
