Architected the Activity Log project using RUP. Oversaw the development of the application and HL7 interface.
Developed Pen Controls that allowed Delphi applications to run on both stand ard workstations and pen-enabled tablets.
Refactored Pen Controls to use a generic SVG-like XML format to store ink to allow applications to run on additional OSes.
Documented Assessments middle layer design in UML and then added a series of enhancements including improved loading performance (x5) and adding a search framework.
Refactored the fragile Plan of Care Builder (other developers were hesitant to touch it). Documented the design in UML, stabilized the code and then added new major functionality.
Installed/maintain home network with Linux and Windows workstations/servers w/ high speed internet connection.
