Custom Developed Software Portfolio

Corporate Web Applications

Corporate Web Store. Technical lead and developer for corporate Internet B2B web site for online products.

Web Site Redirect Application. As we migrated our SharePoint 2003 content SharePoint 2007, we needed a way to prevent "File Not Found" messages when people visited SP2003 sites and documents. I architected a process that would rehost the SP2003 domain name on an F5 load balancer. The F5 would redirect all traffic to a custom application I developed using ASPX.net. Based upon the web address and parameters, this ASPX application would query a database and convert the SP2003 URL into a SP2007 URL and correctly redirect the user.

Web service to import email data into a SharePoint list. A business team requested external email to appear in their document library on the internal SharePoint environment. I worked with the MS Exchange team to setup a mailbox that would forward anymail to a specific inbox to a corresponding SharePoint email address. The inbound email was coming from a web form. I worked with the business team to create a specific XML formatted email that made it processable by a utility. I developed two web service applications, 1) download the email from the document library, 2) read the XML data in the email body, create a new list item in SharePoint and append all email data.

Web Service work flow to manage team tasks. Our team needed a process to manage tasks for support and new development. I developed a web service that managed data stored in a SharePoint list. list contained columns of meta data that allowed time line negotiations to take place between the U.S. staff and the development team in India. This web service utility would also send daily status emails on current tasks progress and due dates. Escalations were also made when deadlines were missed.
