.NET Developer - Master's Program
2006

• Developed solutions for diverse programming scenarios in C#.NET, employing object–oriented programming concepts such as; encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. 
• Used C#.NET and ADO.NET to define and implement secure middle-tier components using both connected and disconnected environment strategies.  Components were consumed by web applications and windows applications utilizing SQL Server and stored procedures to perform logical business transactions. 
• Created and deployed XML Web Services using ASP.NET.  Consumed Web Services from both Windows forms and ASP.NET web applications.
• Created complex business components in C#.NET using .NET Class Library assemblies while migrating and implementing them in a multi-tier environment suitable for Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and COM+ to address application infrastructure issues associated with building scalable enterprise level applications used by many clients.
• Developed a Windows n-tiered “Public Library Management System” application and then ported the application to a dynamic ASP.NET Internet/Intranet model utilizing the same secure middle tier data access components.  Non-public web pages were secured using Windows integrated and ASP.NET forms security models.
• Created Deployment projects for .NET applications using Microsoft’s MSI packages.
• As part of a team, designed and developed a multi-tiered IT Recruiter Placement Application, similar to Monster.com web site, with the capabilities to post jobs, search jobs and query reports.  Project included building a Windows based front end interface for managing the system and database.  Created administrative security levels for different users, and wrote stored procedures. Technologies utilized included: C#.NET, SQL Server 2000, Transact-SQL, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Web Services, COM+ and HTML.
