User Interface Projects

• Development Hub

  As project lead, designed and implemented software development hub for division tasked with producing releases of Oracle products on multiple operation system platforms. Challenge was to integrate release tracking information, testing results, and development status maintained by different organizations with different interfaces and data stores into a coherent web interface. The interface allowed users to determine the health of a release and perform daily software development tasks. Technologies: JSF, JSP, Java, Servlet, HTML, JavaScript, Oracle, JDBC.

• Oracle Application Server ProcessConnect

  User interface architect for Oracle’s integration product which provided solutions for enterprise application integration (EAI) and business-to-business integration (B2B). Interaction designer and code architect for all user interfaces developed for product. Designed and implemented a Java framework for the web-based application that enabled users to define and administrate integrations. Framework formalized the model, view and controller portions of the application that allowed for rapid development of the complex tool in a consistent and predictable manner. Implemented several functional areas of tool, mentored members of user interface group and developed design and coding guidelines and standards. Wrote numerous architecture, functional and design specifications and conducted interaction design, code, documentation, and specification reviews. Investigated emerging technologies and performed competitive analyses. Technologies: Java, JSP, Servlet, HTML, JavaScript, Oracle, JDBC.

• Oracle9iAS Foundation Services Kit

  Designed and implemented web application of product that assisted independent software vendors (ISVs) and application service providers (ASPs) in the development of internet applications for a hosted environment. The web application allowed for the creation and management of metadata used in the event, logging, message, notification, and preference services provided by the Foundation Services Kit Java API. Major contributor to design and architecture of product’s public API. Provided usability feedback for all aspects of project and conducted code, documentation, and specification reviews. Technologies: Java, Servlet, HTML, Oracle, JDBC.

• Oracle Database Configuration Assistant

  Designed and implemented second major release of interactive wizard used to simplify the creation, modification, and deletion of Oracle databases. The Java application encompassed over 20 graphical user interface panels designed to abstract the complexity of creating an Oracle database away from user. Interacted with numerous divisions to incorporate a wide variety of requirements and restructured code to facilitate porting the tool to UNIX. Acted as technical lead for other Java wizard developers. Technologies: Java, Swing, Oracle, JDBC.

• Oracle Web Publishing Assistant

  Designed and implemented graphical user interface of the first two production releases of tool that web-enabled an Oracle database. The tool allowed users to create web pages of selected Oracle data, refresh these pages based on a specified schedule, and integrate the formatting of the resulting HTML output with Microsoft FrontPage. Technologies: MFC, C/C++, Oracle, ODBC.

• Oracle Navigator

  Implemented features and assisted in design of the first two production releases of MFC based tool loosely designed on the Windows 95 Explorer that allowed a user to view, add, delete, and modify various components of an Oracle database. Improved the graphical user interface with the use of property sheets and context sensitive help. Implemented import and export features, Windows registry configuration and NLS compliance. Technologies: MFC, C/C++, Oracle, ODBC.

Other Projects
