A professional Web application developer with extensive exposure to a wide variety of client- and server- side Web development technologies. Looking for exciting career opportunities in the area of Web application development that allow me to contribute my technical skills and apply the software engineering principles acquired to design and develop sophisticated Web applications, with opportunities to assume some leadership responsibilities in the long run.

A meticulous person fully dedicated to all the jobs taken, striving for excellence through constant improvement and learning, and always willing to share knowledge and expertise with others. I have been a moderator at a major online Unix forum since 2003. Having been involved in various scripting-based environments such as Perl and PHP for Web development for many years throughout my career, in recent years my interest has returned to enterprise Java technologies utilizing open-source application frameworks, such as Spring or Seam.

• Software architect of the corporate VoIP voice infrastructure. Job duties included development of Perl programs for backend processing, integration of SIP servers such as Asterisk and OpenSER, as well as designing other supporting infrastructure for flexibility and scalability.
• Established a flexible infrastructure based on the Spring application framework to power the corporate Web site, utilizing open technologies such as JSP, Apache Tiles and JPA, with round-the-clock monitoring and anomaly alert facilities backed by JMX.

• Project coordinator who oversaw the integration of two freight forwarding systems (ColdFusion and Java) onto a single platform (PHP5) with limited resources and tight deadline constraints; and participated in subsequent development of new features and refactoring of the resulting code base for better code and higher component reusability.
• Principal architect of the underlying application framework which served as the basis of future development projects, written in PHP with flexibility in mind.
• The chief researcher of new technologies for later adoption in application development projects.

• Converted the database files of the existing system from dBase V format into a single database in Microsoft Access format and restructured it to eliminate redundancies.
• Developed a GUI for record maintenance and production of several types of printouts based on stored data in the database, developed with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.

Wrote a tutorial covering the Perl programming language for free distribution on the Internet. Endorsed as reference material for several postgraduate and undergraduate courses offered by universities overseas, with frequent downloads recorded from behind various international corporations. The second edition featuring vastly expanded coverage is in preparation.
