Group Leader
Research Application Development

• Led an eleven member cross-disciplinary team (business analysts, developers, testers) and five member offshore development team in India.

• Interviewed and hired five software engineers within a one year period, as well as interviewing and selecting all five offshore developers.

• Directed the development of version 2 of our enterprise shared resource management system (SRM), utilizing an entity-attribute-value (EAV) data model for enhanced configurability and rapid delivery of services, as well as a modular microkernel/plugin architecture using Spring Dynamic Modules/OSGi technologies. This system currently supports four shared resources and will eventually support approximately 25 different shared resource facilities offering a diverse array of services including whole-genome sequencing, expression and genotyping arrays, proteomics, cell and tissue imaging, and pathology services. My responsibilities include requirements analysis, project management and scheduling, architectural oversight, code reviews, and technology selection.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Senior Software Engineer
Hartwell Center for Bioinformatics and Biotechnology
May 2001–May 2008

• Led a three-member team to develop TrakIT, a publication management system for St. Jude publications. TrakIT integrates with multiple public databases to assemble an exhaustive set of St. Jude publication data. It allows investigators to annotate these publications with shared resource usage, cancer center/multidisciplinary program affiliations, and research categories, as well as selecting which publications they would like to appear on their faculty bio page on http://www.stjude.org. This application reduced a several week grant renewal process to a point-and-click report generation lasting a few seconds.

• Led a three-member team to migrate 684,000 shared resource service orders spanning thirteen laboratory services and 23 years from the Hartwell Center's (http://www.hartwellcenter.org) legacy database to the Shared Resource Management (SRM) database. During this project I developed mappings and algorithms for migration of the data from the legacy schema to the SRM schema. I also developed test cases and SQL queries to validate the migration. I maintained the project schedule, conducted weekly status update meetings, and oversaw the development of Oracle PL/SQL packages that implemented the mappings and algorithms.

• Led a two-member team to develop a web-based scheduling system for shared laboratory instrumentation. This system allows laboratory managers to setup calendars (daily, weekly, and monthly) for each of their instruments and allows users to login to the system and book appointments. Laboratory managers may also setup records for each of their technicians and then rank them on each instrument. Users who request appointments for technician-assisted usage are assigned the highest ranked available technician. If no technician is available, the booking is denied. The system also bills users at a defined hourly rate through the SRM system.
