David Penn’s Experience

• Senior Developer

  Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP Consulting)

  (Privately Held; Information Technology and Services industry)

  October 2008 — Present (10 months)

  I joined VIP to help build the company's new Java practice. VIP has been very successful in other areas of practice and I'm excited to be in on the "ground floor" to help out on Java projects as a contract developer. My first engagement has been at Thomson-Reuters (Eagan, MN) where I'm now starting my third project.

• Lead Developer/Analyst

  Scholarship America

  (Education Management industry)

  July 2007 — August 2008 (1 year 2 months)

  I was a member of the team working on a J2EE and AJAX application. The application uses the latest EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence API technology. This project forms the core of Scholarship America's online scholarship application processing system and will eventually serve as the organization's core technology platform. The application will move the company from paper to electronic processing and allow the operations teams to greatly increase their productivity.

• Software Engineer/Database Design

  University of St. Thomas Center for Applied Mathematics

  (Educational Institution; 501-1000 employees; Research industry)

  March 2001 — May 2007 (6 years 3 months)

  I served the Center for Applied Mathematics as a software engineer, primarily in the design and creation of a variety of applications related to graduate research projects in mathematics and physics. I created stand-alone and web-based applications for the acquisition, processing and presentation of data related to one or more of the many concurrent projects hosted or coordinated by the Center. Most of the work was Java (J2EE)-based with Oracle and MySQL back-ends.
  
  The Center is funded by private and corporate grants and the National Science Foundation, and serves as a research vehicle for graduate students in mathematics and the sciences.

• Software Engineer

  ObjectFX Corporation

  (Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Computer Software industry)

  September 2000 — June 2001 (10 months)

  At ObjectFX I designed and developed software using the Java (J2SE and J2EE) technologies. One area of focus was Java-based software installers that installed the company's software and did initial configuration of tools and databases in the company's line of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) products and toolkits.
