-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Senior Software Engineer National Public Radio (NPR) W ashington DC TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT: C#, Win Forms, ASP.NET 3.5, Ajax Toolkit, WPF, SQL Server , SQL CE, Visual Studio 2008, 2010 Newsflex is the system that NPR uses to manage news stories from conception to o n-air presentation. Created a proposal to develop a Data Facade (DF) layer. Th e DF provides NewsFlex with a solid data tier foundation and results in signific ant simplification, including the elimination of MSMQ and MS Access. Designed a nd implemented the DF component. Wrote comprehensive unit tests to exercise the DF layer. In addition to control ling access to all data, the DF encapsulates multiple data access layers (DAL). These provide access to the local store, which contains the Newsflex Person da tabase (Hermes). The JET DAL encapsulates all the MS Access code, while the CE DAL encapsulates all the SQL CE code. Designed and implemented a complete refactoring of the Newsflex Web Rundowns. T he Rundowns display the content for the shows that NPR produces. This is displa yed on a large screen in the studio, so that editors and producers know the show content plan at any given moment. The Web Rundowns is an ASP.NET 3.5 applicati on which was refactored from 18 aspx pages to 3 aspx pages and a master page. Created a user interface design for the employee action system (EAS).
