Led a team of developers on numerous enhancement projects for online quoting application (F2, F3, FQ, MPQ, Claims applications, distributed ASP.NET applications (C#, ASP.NET, Web Services, MS SQL).
Unified Quoting Framework
Designed and built a prototype (C#, WCF, Linq to XML, AJAX, .NET Framework 3.5, ASP.NET MVC) of a new Unified Quoting Framework based on distributed architecture with extremely light presentation layer that allowed for full reuse of Business Service Layer by HTML and Flash-based user interfaces (XAML/Silverlight as future option). Used Dependency Injection pattern and lambda expressions, instead of reflection, for mapping type properties to dynamic list and for embedding dynamic rules. Worked on intelligent self-guided workflow component. Worked on metadata designer and Visual Studio integration packages for XML-based domain specific language (intellisense, colorization, references). Evaluated new technologies (C# 3.0, .Net 3.5, WCF, WF, WF Rules, ASP.NET MVC, Linq, Silverlight, Spring.Net, MS ObjectBuilder).
