medical topics) from a SiGMaLink repository, and
 Transforms those objects into an intermediate XML format suitable for conversion to HTML.
The transformation includes replacing specified character entities with XML elements and using
XSLT (via the Xalan-Java API) to delete specific elements and their contents.
 Implemented a “knowledge model” (consisting of database tables and indexes in Oracle 9i) that
associates keywords and phrases (together with their modifiers, synonyms and rankings) with their
locations and context within the information objects of the above SiGMaLink repository.
 Designed and implemented Java classes that query and update the above database tables (via SQL,
using JDBC) in order to output a set of cross-referenced index files (in XML) that are used by a
search engine within the MRP application.
 Made the methods of the above classes callable from within Oracle 9i as stored procedures. Wrote a
class (based on the Façade design pattern) that provides an interface for calling the stored procedures
from JSP via java.sql.

11/2002 to 2/2003
Role: Consulting XSLT/LDAP Developer
 Project sponsor: Colliers International – Phase 1
 Wrote XSLT transforms for an LDAP server implementation that uses Novell’s eDirectory, DirXML
and XDS DTD. The XSLT transforms implement business logic that determines the placement,
initialization and modification of objects in a central LDAP repository (a Directory Information Tree
implemented in eDirectory). These objects represent name-and-address-book entries for employees
and email distribution groups. They are created, renamed and moved during automated data-import
and data-update processes using DirXML. Much of the XSLT code deals with detecting, handling
and reporting error conditions (e.g., missing, invalid and/or inconsistent attribute values, and illegal
operations) as the name-and-address-book entries (and changes to them) are pulled into the central
LDAP repository from instances of MS Exchange, Active Directory, and Lotus Notes/Domino.
Used Novell ConsoleOne along with an LDAP browser to test and debug the XSLT code.

Developed the Stellent Content Categorizer (SCC) product, which is a set of Java adapter classes that
enables the customer to integrate a Stellent Content Server (SCS) repository with content/document
categorization/classification engines from several 3rd-party vendors, e.g. Autonomy.
 Designed and implemented a package that extracts a native taxonomy from a 3rd-party categorization
engine and converts it into a “navigable taxonomy”, i.e., a dynamically-generated hierarchy of web
pages, to enable navigation of the taxonomy in Stellent Content Server (SCS). Developed an appletbased GUI for configuring and running this process.
 Enhanced SCS’s browser-based Check-In and Update pages so that SCC can be invoked to:
 Suggest initial metadata values when a Content Item is checked in to an SCS repository, and
 Update the metadata values of a Content Item in the repository
 Enhanced SCS’s search-results pages so that for each Content Item found, each of its assigned
categories is displayed as a “taxonomy vector” (a breadcrumbs-style path), where each vector
element is a link to the web page for that category in one of the “navigable taxonomies”.
 Wrote XSLT that transforms XML from the Flexiondoc and SearchML schemas of Stellent’s
“Outside In XML Export” utility into the XML schema used by SCC. Used Apache's Xalan XSL
processor and Xerces XML parser, both called via Apache's Xalan-Java implementation of the
Transformation API for XML (TrAX).
Designed and implemented (in C++) a utility for merging PDF Forms Data Files (FDF) into a PDF
template file and outputting the result as either PDF or Postscript. Used Adobe’s FDF Toolkit, Acrobat
Core API, PDFEdit API and PDF Library SDK.
As part of a small (4-6 member) development team, developed the Stellent Report Parser (SRP) product.
 SRP is a multi-threaded Java application that:
 Takes database reports (plain text files) from 3rd-party applications (e.g., Crystal Reports) as
input, and
 Extracts metadata from these reports according to user-specified rules, and
 Splits each report into a set of Content Items of specified granularity, and
 Optionally converts these Content Items to either PDF, HTML or XML+XSL, and

 Checks in the results to an SCS repository.
 Specified, designed (using UML class diagrams) and implemented the Stellent Report Parser
application.
 Added a “pass-through” mode in which the input files (and their extracted metadata) are checked in
to the SCS repository without any format conversion.
 Developed (using java.awt) an interactive editor for the persistent objects (“Blueprints”) that specify
how Stellent Report Parser processes particular types of input reports.
 Tested the SRP product on Solaris (invoked via a Bourne Shell script), Windows NT and Windows
2000. Fixed bugs caused by differences between the Java implementations on these platforms.
 Wrote a custom doclet that generates an overview of SRP’s Java packages, interfaces and classes.
Wrote a utility in VB 6 that mediates inter-process communication between SCS and a recordsmanagement application (ForeMost Enterprise).
Designed and implemented a “personal navigation environment” for SCS, including user selfregistration and authentication. Used ASP 3, client-side JavaScript and CSS.
Developed a web-based e-commerce product ("Softgoods") that uses ASP 3, JavaScript, Jscript, HTTP,
ODBC, MS Access and ISAPI/NSAPI filters to manage subscription-based delivery of online content to
authenticated users. Tested this product on Windows, Solaris and Linux.
Attended and reported on technical conferences and seminars:
 Knowledge Management (KM) World 2001
 Microsoft Web Services Summit
 IEEE/ACM Bioinformatics Lecture Series
 Inxight webinars

Integrated a prototype implementation for the “Interleaf 7 XML” product (written in Common LISP by
another development team) into the main branch of the Interleaf 7 source code.
Designed and implemented the Publish-As-XML subsystem of Interleaf 7. Gave a presentation to other
developers on the architecture and implementation of the Publish-As-XML and Publish-As-HTML
subsystems.
Diagnosed and fixed bugs in Interleaf 7 subsystems including Publish-As-HTML, I18N and Common
LISP interpreter.
Implemented the use of vendor-supplied Motif/X11 libraries, header files and runtime environment files
in Interleaf 7 on Solaris and HP-UX. Consulted with technical contacts at Hewlett-Packard and Sun
Microsystems to devise workarounds for vendor-specific bugs.
Developed a proof-of-concept prototype for XML-DTD-compliant “structured authoring” of XML
documents using an integration between Interleaf 6 and Microstar's Near & Far Designer application.
Exhibited this prototype at the "XML '98" conference in Seattle, WA.
Wrote scope-of-work and design documents for Interleaf 7 enhancements including Publish-As-HTML,
Publish-As-XML, UNIX/Windows interoperability and a user-interface for file-format conversion.
Planned features, tasks and schedules for a set of “filter” utilities that perform bi-directional conversions
between Interleaf documents and other file-formats including RTF, WordPerfect, CGM, IGES, TIFF,
JPEG and GIF.
Enhanced Interleaf’s graphics-conversion libraries (in C) to work with the Graphics Data Stream Format
(GDSF, derived from CGM) and ImageStream graphics libraries from Inso Corporation. Documented
how these technologies are used by Interleaf’s filter utilities.

Enhanced Interleaf’s RTF import/export filters (in C) to handle Japanese text and fonts. Wrote scopeof-work documents, time-estimates, project plans and design specs. Implemented the new functionality,
collected test-files and reviewed the documentation.
Diagnosed and fixed bugs in the Interleaf filter utilities and their supporting libraries. Maintained and
enhanced the makefiles in the filters source-code hierarchy; fixed platform-specific remake errors.
Developed and maintained C Shell scripts, Bourne Shell scripts and Perl scripts for releasing changes to
the filter utilities’ source hierarchy, running automatic builds of the filters on Windows NT and UNIX,
running automated regression tests and checking for build-errors. Wrote design specs and project plans
for enhancing and using these tools.
Designed a workflow for moving filter executables from development through QA and into the larger
Interleaf products, using a ClearCase repository to store, label and track filter executables that have been
shipped to customers.
Coordinated the exchange of filter source-code changes (in C) with a team of developers and QA
engineers in Moscow. Reviewed, compiled, debugged and integrated their source-code changes into the
Interleaf filter utilities.
Developed a set of utilities (using lex, awk and Bourne Shell scripts) that find and fix non-portable
constructs in Interleaf source code.
Designed and implemented a Bourne Shell script that uses sed, awk and WorldView utilities to "flatten"
a hierarchy of WorldView documents so that they can be viewed on IBM VM and MVS platforms.
Ported Interleaf applications to:
 DEC UNIX (OSF/1) on DEC AXP.
 Motorola UNIX SystemV/88 R4, using the 88open Binary Compatibility Standard.
 CMW+/386 (secure SCO UNIX System V/386).
Improved the performance of the installation tools (in C Shell script and Common LISP) for Interleaf 5
and 6. Added new features and built a test environment for them.
Contributed to the development and maintenance of WorldView Press (WVP), which converts a set of
Interleaf documents into a searchable, hyperlinked collection of WorldView (formerly Printerleaf) files.
Added enhancements (using Common LISP and C) to Interleaf 5 and TPS 4 in order to support WVP,
which was:
 Demonstrated at a Seybold show in 1992.
 Used to generate the documentation for the Open Look release of Interleaf 5.
Developed enhancements and new features for Interleaf 5, including:
 "Layered Applications" built on an object system written in Common LISP;
 An online help subsystem for use in Layered Applications.
 Persistent storage of Common LISP objects.
 Hypertext authoring in Interleaf documents.
 Automatic generation of hypertext-linked indexes, tables of contents and cross-references.
Diagnosed and fixed bugs in the printing, diagramming and Common LISP subsystems of Interleaf 5
(implemented in C).
