Projects

• FacilityTrax is an application currently in development from Greenpoint Energy Solutions. I've been in charge of developing the front-end via DHTML, AJAX, and utilizing HTML 5's Canvas element for complex functionality such as animating gauge needles and bar graphs.
• My work on the Eclipse™ Shutters project involved HTML page creation from design comps and implementing a site-wide CMS.

Arc90, Inc. was my full-time employer for a few years. Most of my work was focused in the homeowmer's insurance software field.

Projects and notable experience

• Policy Exchange (pxQuote) is a software suite that I helped develop over time at Arc90, Inc. The suite is a collection of software components that support the management of insurance quotes and policies. I had my hand mostly in the development and support of the quoting engine, XML insurance products, and the quoting/policy data. The power of the quoting engine existed in the use of XML insurance workbooks containing quoting logic, that input values could be run against to provide insurance quotes in industry-leading time.
• One of the larger efforts that I was in charge of while at Arc90, Inc. was the migration of 1 million plus mission-critical insurance quotes/policies in MarkLogic to a new XML-relational hybrid data structure in SQL Server 2005. This effort involved not only the transfer of data, but ensuring that our application layer was updated to efficiently and seamlessly use the new data model, and that the operation completed with failure rollback options within allowed application downtime.

Pete and Brian are comedians and writing partners. I built this AJAX-driven site as a tool for them to server news, videos, and other information to their fans. The site integrates with YouTube to list Pete and Brian's current YouTube account videos on the 'Watch' page.
