Work History

First American Default Technologies – Louisville, KY

October 2009 – Current
Senior Developer

VendorScape – Default processing platform

First American Default Technologies’ flagship software – a web platform built for scalability and flexibility that houses dozens of modular sites, file processing engines, and other software under one unified platform. VendorScape makes thorough use of WCF and web services to provide its intra- and extra-communicative SOA. I have divided most of my time between creating a quick, powerful, and responsible front-end framework using MVC and a large amount of RESTful JavaScript<->ASP.NET architecture, and taking the services exposed and their interaction methods and attempting to reduce development time and repeat effort by melding my previous experience with the current implementation.

Developer III (Senior Developer)

BillPay – Online bill payment system

iPay’s primary income is divided amongst its bill payment websites. These websites are broken out into audience-relevant “products” (e.g. consumers, businesses, financial institutions, channel partners, etc…). The sites all require a very delicate balance between performance, scalability, maintainability and flexibility.
Technologies Utilized:

ASP
ASP.NET
Visual C# .NET

iPay API – Communicative application framework

In order to reduce new coding, stabilize existing code bases, and integrate internal and external services and systems, a WFC API was established. This API housed common aspects of the business (payment submission, payee lookup, etc…) along with application standards (error logging, formatting, object translation, etc…).
Technologies Utilized:

JHA (“Flash”) – Channel integration web service application

Flash was an application written to allow one of iPay’s largest (if not their largest) channel partners to completely manage an operation similar to iPay through the use of iPay’s back-end processes. Millions of payments per month are submitted through this system alone.
