Work Experience
---------------
* Microsoft Corp
Sep-2008 - present day
Senior Software Design Engineer / Lead
I led three to six engineers in development and servicing
XML technologies for Microsoft - the MSXML components for
native code, the .NET Framework XML components, and various
XML technologies for SQL Server. I also worked as a development
lead on the ADO.NET Data Services team during this time.

* Microsoft Corp
Sep-2005 - Sep-2008
Software Design Engineer
I worked on the Microsoft Data Programmability group, performing
various development tasks - design, programming, scheduling,
technical reviews, performance analysis, software release activites -
on the ADO.NET Entity Framework and ADO.NET Data Services projects.
The work included query compilation and optimization, data
transformation optimization, REST-based network protocol design, query
compilation, and analysis for web application architectures.

* Microsoft Corp
Nov-2003 - Sep-2005
Software Design Engineer / Test Lead
I managed a team of five to nine members, performing planning, scheduling,
coaching and process-improvement tasks together with continued 
technical work, including multiple testing approaches with special
emphasis in stability and reliability (including in-depth automation for
crash analysis and production system instrumentation and monitoring).

* Microsoft Corp
Oct-2002 - Nov-2003
Software Design Engineer / Test
I designed and implemented automated test plans for the
Windows Client Platform project. Multiple tasks involving the
coordination of multiple team members were also carried out.
Most software development was done using C#.

* XL Sistemas
Feb-1998 - Oct-2002
Programmer, Senior Developer
For four years, I worked with XL Sistemas, an Internet Service 
Provider and software development firm, on various projects. 
These projects included e-commerce websites, shrink-wrapped 
multimedia applications, internal administration programs, 
and development utilities. The target platforms were Windows, 
Linux and PalmOS.

In addition to traditional programmer and senior developer 
activities, I have also performed the roles of Database 
Administrator, Web Administrator and System Administrator 
on Windows and Linux platforms.

* Independent Projects
Jul-1997 - Jul-1998
I have worked on many projects requested by different clients to develop 
customized software. These projects were usually 2-3 month efforts, developed 
using RAD tools and processes optimized for teams of up to three persons.

* Personal Projects
Jul-1997 - present day
In addition to numerous article, project and code submissions to community 
websites (e.g. Borland Community at http://community.borland.com/ ), I have 
also worked on developer utilities and end-user applications on my own.

In particular, the MS SQL And Access To InterBase Migration Wizard (sql2gdb) 
project, in which I acted as main developer and coordinator, was eventually 
included in the Borland InterBase Companion CD.
