Independent Consultant, Atlanta, GA

September 2000 - May 2003

Senior Software Consultant

• New York University Student. Research and development of the three-dimensional encryption algorithm using C++ and STL. -
• Smart Corporation. Researched batch image decompression and decryption server in C# .net. The application decrypts files using the Microsoft CryptoAPI, 128bit RSA public private key algorithm. RC4 hashing is used therefore, a C++ COM object was created since .net does not support. After decryption, the file is decompressed using the DynaZip third party tool. The ZIP contains a payload file, which is parsed, and appropriate workflow tables are updated in oracle DB. -
• Netcertainty.com. Developed WebLoad, a HTTP/HTTPS script player and WebAnalyzer, a graphing package for statistical analysis. The WebLoad product is a VB, C++, COM, VBScript based tool that will simulate an unlimited number of clients accessing, storing, and processing internet web pages. The application uses WinSock to emulate HTTP or HTTPS. The application also includes Install using Wise Install Builder, and context sensitive help (CHM). -
• eRevenue.com. Developed a secure file sharing extranet using VB Web Classes. The site displays a hierarchical directory tree using DHTML, and allows users to view WORD, EXCEL, TXT, and HTML documents anywhere. It incorporates Microsoft search engine for easy document searching. -
eRevenue.com. Developed Java data entry components supporting various financial calculations real time. The information was maintained in database on server. The object model developed was flexible enough to provide support to three other engineering efforts thus decrease overall deployment errors. -

• Device driver debugging in machine code was rather tedious. Exact concise efforts lead to solutions within single threaded audio device drivers. Yet its outer components, the channeling and buffering system were multithreaded. Error reporting was a minor issue. Divided efforts amongst team and each became their own harness. I supported efforts of Quality Analysis and system debugging in Atlanta. Helped solve a random yet hard to find glitch that finalized the product stability for delivery. SendMessage / PostMessage semaphore lock in application code.
