  • My HealtheVet Secure Messaging: System Architect and lead developer of the Secure Messaging(SM) Project. This system allows clinicians and patients to communicate in a completely secure manner. SM integrates with “My HealtheVet”, CPRS and VISTA.
• Application of the Year: Developed the Oasis Claims Management system for the US Department of Labor. This application supports 1000 claims examiners in locations throughout the United States. This system is designed to handle 5 million documents a year with zero tolerance for data loss. The Oasis application employs IBM’s WebSphere in the middle tier, DB2 as the database, IBM MQ Series as the fail safe communication mechanism between regional, national and backup sites, Multi-Terabyte Network Appliance servers for image storage, Optical Jukeboxes for archive storage, and numerous development languages including Delphi(Pascal), C++, Java, CORBA, and Microsoft COM.  Was awarded second place in the Annual Competition for best application of the year (Press Release) (Magazine Article) for development of the Oasis system.  First place was awarded to Enron.  This was very stiff competition and a significant honor.

• Government Paper Elimination Act (GPEA):  The Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration receives more than 4 million form submittals from the public each year.  The GPEA act required that most of these submissions be possible over the web.  I developed a totally generic toolkit and framework for migrating all forms.  All forms were converted to pdf.  Each form was made fillable, with complete field validation, inter field logic, and a full suite of generic routines for printing, emailing, signing etc.  Each form is like a complete application deployed over the web in a completely secure pdf format (certified, encrypted, ssl).  With the assistance of this toolkit, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Document Extensions Server, and IBM WebSphere all forms were made GPEA compliant.  Although the GPEA law mandated that ALL Federal Government Agencies comply by October 21, 2003, very few agencies are meeting the challenge. (Acrobat, pdf, WebSphere, Javascript, java, digital signatures, apache, ssl, db2, forms)
