PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

 

McCarthy & Holthus LLC Nov 2004 –

IT Consultant

Responsibilities included software design, application development in .Net(C#, VB .Net, ASP.net ADO.Net), technical integration, product customization and automating business processes for this firm which handles loan servicing like foreclosure, mortgages, bankruptcy, etc for clients like CitiFinancial, BankOne, etc

Default Life Cycle Foreclosure System – Providing programming support for an enterprise application that handles the whole lifecycle of the foreclosure process.The application has been developed in VB.Net with ASP.Net technology with a SQL Server database.

Eviction Tracking Tool – Built a tracking tool consisting of a web report, email notification system and a web services component all in ASP.Net with SQL Server 200 backend to help the firm’s attorneys and client attorneys to track the eviction process rite from the start.

New Orders & Closing Bids Notification System – Developed two windows service applications in C# using .Net Framework which alerts clients about bids not being placed as deadline nears and one for internal office staff to notify them of new orders coming in every hour.

 

 

SMS.ac May 04 – Oct 04

Software Engineer

Responsibilities included software design, application development in .Net(C#, OOD, back-end side programming, ADO.Net), generating stats reports from SQL Server DB and coordinating email-marketing campaigns.

Mobile Chat - Enhanced functionality of a Mobile Chat Service App for chatting through mobile phones in C# .Net (with heavy database dependence-SQL Server to list a few, check incoming message is from valid user, they are above age-limit, the recipient is also a valid user, logging to billing and stats tables, etc are some of the database calls needed) to support it in multiple countries, allow users to block others, create a buddy list and enable users to remove themselves from the service besides a lot of other optimizations to tailor the app to comply with telecom regulations in different countries.

SMS Trivia – Developed a Trivia game for mobile phones using Short Messaging Service (SMS) in C# .Net. Users get a daily question to which they need to text the answer back which is verified with and a new question is retrieved both done querying SQL Sever tables containing question-answer pairs and user-info like points scored and questions attempted and the response message is sent back to the user. Wrote the stored procedures needed on this one.

SMS Psychic – Developed an app which predicts answers to users’ questions in C# .Net with SQL Server tables containing tables matching keywords to stock answers and log of daily questions asked by users. Users text(sms) to a phone number the question they need answers too and we do a decision tree parsing through the question and arrive at an answer(selected from pre-stored replies) which best matches the question asked.

Premium Messaging Stats Monitor – Developed a stats generating tool to monitor delivery success rate of premium(billable) messages. The messaging database is queried on 3-hour intervals and successful delivery rates for each time period is matched with the previous 3-hr period and if the rate falls below 30% the application would page a technician. This required a windows service application in C# and an ASP.Net web interface to show messaging rates by route, country and carriers(eg-T-Mobile).
