Application Architect at Parole Board of Canada

Involved with modernization of the Integrated Decision System (IDS) application, enhancing the Parole Board of Canada's ability to make informed conditional release decisions. Gathered high-level business requirements and translated them into detailed design documents, ensuring essential functionality retained and improved in the new IDS system. Developed and maintained core application framework components that serve as the backbone of IDS, helping ensure a robust and efficient application.

Software Architect at Correctional Service Canada

Involved with the architecture and design of data management and inter-agency data sharing using PowerHouse/C/GDM L. Defined and documented development standards for the application/system, incorporating departmental guidelines and industry best practices, which helped ensure consistency and quality across the project. Converted IntraBase BLOBS into Oracle CLOBs by developing OCI solutions in C/Pro*C, allowing PDF and ASCII files to be effectively stored in the Oracle database. Developed data encryption routines in C and Pro*C to secure sensitive offender information during migration from IntraBase RDBMS to Oracle 9i RDBMS on the OpenVMS platform. Ported OpenVMS GDM L code to OpenVMS Pro*C, completing a unique project that involved transferring a data encryption utility from DEC Unix, which enabled clean(er) production data for use in testing environments. Architected, designed, and developed the WebSphere MQ messaging interface for communication of data between government agencies.
