Professional Experience

04/00 to 06/07 Gartner Group Inc. Maitland, FL.
Senior Software Engineer (Grade 12)
Promoted to the next grade of Senior Software Engineer in March 2003.  Currently working as the lead architect and engineer for the Gartner IT Leaders toolset.  This toolset enables Gartner to turn vast arrays of differing research into web based interactive data capture, analysis, and charting tools for our clients.  What used to take months to bring to market now takes days.  Gartner IT Leaders utilizes ASP.NET, SQL Server, C#, .NET Generics, and .NET Web Services.
I have also lead the teams for Gartner Hosted Online Survey Tool, Total Value of Opportunity (TVO), K12 TCO Schools, Web Workspace, and Web Decision Engine.  When needed, I serve as an advisor for the Decision Engine for Cost Management team.
Senior Software Engineer (Grade 11)
Work with a team of software engineers developing business analysis tools in an n-tier/object oriented environment with Visual Basic 6.0, XML, Excel, and Microsoft Access.  Our software, Decision Tools For Vendor Selection, is designed to build analytical database models containing very detailed information about a specific product and how the major competitors compare with each other based on the client's specific environment scenario.  The Model Authoring Tool is the parent software that constructs vendor analysis data models used in Decision Engine and eRequest.  I work primarily on its user interface and business logic components that are also used across other applications in the business to business software family.  These components make use of in-memory COM object knowledge trees (similar in nature to an XmlDocument) with thousands of nodes running upwards of 26 levels deep.  
In March 2002, our web workspace project that is designed to pull information from the analytical models (Model Authoring tool) and push the data up to our web server was released.  A server side process then reviews the data stream (compressed XML) and dynamically generates complex data entry pages for vendors to use while answering questions.  Upon completion, the data stream can then automatically be imported back into the desktop analytical models.  This software family is sold to various businesses in conjunction with Gartner's analysis of the products and services in question and is written in ASP.NET (C#), HTML, JavaScript, XML, and SQL Server.
In June 2002, Gartner's Network Capacity Planning was released.  This website is designed to evaluate a myriad of network usage statistics and return the exact amount of network bandwidth needed.  The tool supports an unlimited number of different customized versions to allow for detailed analysis under a wide variety of custom network configurations.  I served as the lead developer on this project.  The NCP website is written in classic ASP, XML, HTML, JavaScript, Excel/MathCad, and SQL Server.
In August 2002, Gartner's Total Value of Opportunity was released.  This website is designed to expand upon Total Cost of Ownership principals and attach risk assessment values to it's calculations.  It is the next generation of Gartner ROI oriented tools.  I served as the lead developer on this project.  This website is written in ASP.NET (C#), XML, HTML, Excel, JavaScript, and SQL Server.
