Inactive: may consider restarting this effort in the future.

The purpose of this wiki is as the name implies to share intelligence. I would like to help prevent the unnecessary deaths of any people anywhere in the world. I do not believe that anyone should die or be sent to their deaths because of their countries' or organizations' leaders' selfishness. Their selfishness grows when they have hurt egos or prides and they want revenge or when they believe that they do not need to share information with the rest of their people.

Intelligence is too important to leave in the hands of our governments. We, the Internet community, have much more knowledge than any particular government intelligence agency has. (Wikipedia is a prime example.) Let's put it to good use and help prevent the unnecessary deaths of our people!

NOTE: Our organization size can be as big as the number of people on the Internet. It really depends on you.

Senior Consultant

Oracle Corporation

(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; ORCL; Information Technology and Services industry)

January 2002 — September 2002 (9 months)

Multilingual Dictionary Java WebStart Application
· Built XML Schemas for multilingual dictionary entry XML validation and for submitting queries to the database.
· Selected as the GUI team lead ahead of more senior team members. Built the framework of the GUI using core Java APIs and Java Swing.
· Developed and prototyped the first Web Service and client proxy for the application. Also demonstrated that serialization of objects was possible through the Web Service.
· Researched and recommended Web Services (and SOAP), which was accepted as the method of communication between the Java application client front-end (View) through WebStart and the application back-end (Controller) that connects to the application EJBs (Model) in WebLogic.
· Conducted redesign research and recommended the MVC/J2EE architecture for the next iteration of the application. The proposed architecture was accepted and Marvin was commended for the recommendation.
Senior Consultant

Oracle Corporation

(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; ORCL; Information Technology and Services industry)

November 2000 — December 2001 (1 year 2 months)

Multilingual Dictionary Web Application - This application allows users to retrieve dictionary entries in multiple languages and also allows expert users to add entries to their particular language's dictionary.
· Developed a dictionary/newswire web application front end using JSPs, XML, HTML, XSL and JavaScript that retrieves and enters data (Strings and XML) from and to an Oracle8i database using middle-tier and database EJBs using Oracle HTTP Server as the Web Server and vi and JDeveloper as the development tools.
· Orchestrated the migration of the dictionary/newswire web application in order for it to become J2EE compliant.
· Because of initial research conducted and demo setup using OC4J and our web application, the team was able to port the application relatively quickly to OC4J with minimal downtime when a problem arose with Apache. An unsuccessful port to OC4J would have been catastrophic to the delivery of the first iteration of the application and to the project itself.
