Created UML activity diagrams for the original process to help identify points of improvement Deployed a Subversion-based process to improve revision tracking and control of localization artifacts Authored a software requirements specification document for a software localization system aimed to streamline the localization process Architected and constructed a software screen scraping tool to shorten the time required to capture screens for translation and review 01 2006 05 2007 Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA Master of Software Engineering Fellow Formulated the prioritization problem as a classification problem where task features--both static (e.g. type and self-initiated indicators) and dynamic (e.g., time context and past activities)--are mapped to nominal priority values Designed and led recitation classes, lectured topics in UML, and created and enhanced homework problems 05 2003 08 2004 NYFIX, Inc. (Javelin Technologies, Inc.) New York, NY Client Support Engineer Advised systems analysts and developers from a number of financial institutions on integrating their order management systems with the Appia FIX engine Suggested hardware, software, and middleware - RMI, socket (raw or via Java, C++, or ActiveX toolkit), MQ, Tibco/RV, and JMS - configurations appropriate for the client's operating environment Provided complete and proof-of-concept software solutions according to client business requirements Aided clients in troubleshooting FIX connectivity issues and session- and application-level messaging errors 06 1997 08 2002 REF Computer Corporation New City, NY Software Engineer Reengineered, enhanced, and maintained, with a group, the 401(k) Participant Service Representative client software system and custom middleware Performed systems analysis and design according to business requirements on 401(k) disbursements (with rollovers and in-kinds), loans, corporate actions, real-time trading, etc. Constructed ad hoc systems such as test-environment changer and database-change tracking system to increase productivity in using and deploying the client software Technologies used include Visual C++, Windows NT, and PVCS for the client system; PL/SQL for Oracle stored procedures and triggers; Unix ksh scripting, C++, Java, and XML for batch (ftp) updates to Oracle (on Solaris); VB, Access, and Crystal Reports for ad hoc support systems Designed and constructed, with a group, the 401(k) Unitized Fund Accounting System Technologies used include VB and Crystal Reports for the client system; SQL on DB2 for data-retrieval Created the design document for the 401(k) Corporate Actions system upon which the document template for Systems Analysis and Design for the Retirement Group division was based 04 1995 04 1997 Department of Science and Technology - Advanced Science and Technology Institute Metro Manila, Philippines Student Assistant 2004 2005 Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 1998 2002 Columbia University New York, NY Computer Science 1993 1997 University of the Philippines Diliman, QC Computer Science Cum Laude honors conferred Co-authored a workshop paper to report our experiences in incorporating active replication into a system following the three-tiered client-server architecture style. . Collaborated with a group to design an intelligent prioritizing action list that dynamically reorders tasks along changing time and activity contexts. The reordering behavior is learned from experts' usage of the RADAR action list. . Collaborated with a group to architect a subsystem to specify microprocessor properties relevant to architectural test generators. The project involved the selection of a microprocessor architecture description language (ADL) best suited for generating tests, the design of an efficient internal data model for storing microprocessor architectural properties, and the creation of an application programming interface (API) for querying those properties. . Collaborated with a group to formally design and implement an efficient and actively replicated distributed banking system. The project invovled discovering the balance between the competing quality attributes of availability, real-time behavior, and performance. Presented an initial investigation of the hard instances of the bin-packing problem leveraging on previous work on the Satisfiability (SAT) problem. The search primarily involved the use of polynomial-time reductions of NP-complete problems. Created an XML Browser for the PalmOS patterned after the Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 XML Tree View. James Clark's EXPAT 1.0, an efficient non-validating XML parser, was ported onto the Palm platform. Collaborated with a group to design and construct a framework for distributed data filtering in Java. DDFS was demonstrated to handle news feed processing. News feeds were filtered into XML documents and stored into a database for efficient archive searching. JDK 1.1 (with RMI) was used. Managed a group to plan and build Connect, an Internet data conferencing solution to distance learning. Connect was demonstrated implementing the automated version of University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU). The research involved Distance Education topics, TCP/IP, and JDK 1.0.2/HTML.
