2009 - Present Link+ Customs Broker, London, Ontario
I am currently working as a Senior Developer. Current and past projects include
development of a client portal, redesigning existing web applications and
building data parsing programs.
I am responsible for redevelopment of the BP2000 Customs software from a ASP web
application to a Windows Single Click Deployed application. Most of my current
work is done in C#, ASP.NET, SQL and XML. I lead and mentor one other developer.
I have also worked with sales staff to establish new reports and worked with our
Exports staff to implement XML data upload modules that are specific to
customers.
My recent projects include integrations to Synergize, GFI Fax Server, UPS, FedEx,
Purolator, DHL with our existing brokerage software. I had also created a bar code
scanner application on the Windows CE platform, which connects, wirelessly to web
services.

interface with Canadian Customs using both CADEX and EDIFACT messages. This project
includes a Security Gateway, ASP.NET User Interface and communication software to
send and receive messages.
I had 2 developers under my direction at various stages
in their career. I mentored, project managed, reviewed code and construct project
plans.
As a Lead Developer I am often involved in meetings with
senior management, play a lead role in applying for Research and Development grants
