  Design, implement, and extend JCVI sequencing laboratory process automation applications. These applications interface with the JCVI LIMS and ABI Sequencer software to control sequencing technician reaction plate loading and maintenance operations, automate sequencer data retrieval and sequencer data post processing, and persist processed data for retrieval by other JCVI applications. Also maintain and extend JCVI's sequencing trace file viewing and retrieval application, an applet… Show more Design, implement, and extend JCVI sequencing laboratory process automation applications.

Gathered/determined software requirements based on user work flow/process and DNA sequencing technology changes. Worked with users and higher management to prioritize these needs, develop release schedules and project plans, and designed/implemented necessary software modifications. Key modifications included supporting dual insertion cloning vectors in template and sequencing reaction production and overhauling the tracking system to use barcode based identification throughout the laboratory’s template creation, reaction creation, and sequencing reaction operations. Also created and taught classes training users how to best use the new software functionality to simplify their jobs and increase their productivity. Show less



Quicken Insurance (division of Intuit)

• Sr. Software Engineer

  • Sep 1998 - Jan 2001

  Reverse engineered, analyzed, designed, implemented and assisted in managing development efforts to allow web based auto insurance purchases from multiple Quicken Insurance online auto insurance vendors. This system interfaced with several vendors’ software systems to validate and to debit users’ credit cards, to validate users’ driving records and auto insurance claim histories, and to re-quote users’ auto insurance policy prices based on any new information obtained during the validation… Show more Reverse engineered, analyzed, designed, implemented and assisted in managing development efforts to allow web based auto insurance purchases from multiple Quicken Insurance online auto insurance vendors.
