DDI, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, March 2007 – November 2007
Senior Software Engineer
As a Senior Software Engineer and member of the Services Architecture Engineering group my focus was on
integrating DDI’s three product lines, each product line includes multiple software products. Using C#, .NET 3.0,
MOSS, WSS, Active Directory and MSSQL 2005 I was tasked to develop applications with a focus on centralizing
and sharing all software and services via the client facing SharePoint Portal and the SharePoint platform.
Developed Document Library Mirror application using Microsoft SharePoint Event Syncs. This application
listened for events within a specified SharePoint Document Library Folder and kept an up-to-date copy of
all documents and folders out on the network. This was a strong-named assembly written in C# using event
delegates to monitor the activity in the folder.
Developed Windows Workflow components and applications that support progressing a user through a
sequence of dynamic content items and routing the user requests based on feedback and responses from the
content items. Content was stored in a MSSQL 2005 database, Windows Workflow tracking and persistence
services were implemented to track the progress and maintain the integrity of long running processes. User
information was stored in a custom database, users were required to authenticate with the custom user store
and respond to the assigned content items. Windows Workflow was integrated with custom ORM objects
and Web Services to facilitate user progression.
Developed HTTP Module to support Globalization across multiple projects. DDI develops software for a
Global audience and content is stored in multiple languages. The HTTP Module controls the mapping of
multilingual content to user preferences. Custom XML Configuration Sections in Web.Config are used to
control the behavior of the HTTP Module. Interfaces were developed so that other applications within the
enterprise could reuse the module anyway they need to by implanting the process contract. This application
has been deployed with a custom application and a SharePoint Portal application with plans for more
implementations in the future.

CAREER EXPERIENCE CONTINUED
Developed Plug-in Architecture that imports tab delimited data into Active Directory, SharePoint and
custom application data stored through a command line interface. The application is used to bulk-load user
data into applications and update existing user data. Customization is made possible through the use of a
common Plug-in API that allows developers to build their own Plug-in to import data into any store they
wish. I developed an Active Directory Plug-in, a SharePoint Plug-in and a custom application Plug-in and
all three Plug-ins are controlled in a specified sequence through a console application and app.config file.

client, based on the commands sent to the web service the client can specify whether they are uploading data
for create, updates and deletes. Clients can also retrieve data from the web service and save it to a local file
format governed by XSLT.
