Thomas Holmes’s Summary

I'd love to have a job as a full-time, permanent Java/J2ee Senior Software Engineer. Ideally, I liked to move to the next level to become a Technical Architect.

I am always learning new technologies, and I want to learn PHP, CSS, Drupal, Spring, Struts2, Maven. I have a rudimentary knowledge of these, but I want to know more. So while I have the down time, I am learning these at home on my own time.

Thomas Holmes’s Specialties:

JSP, JavaBeans, Struts, JMS, Java/J2EE, Servlets

Thomas Holmes’s Experience

• Senior Software Engineer

  TechTarget

  (Public Company; TTGT; Online Media industry)

  Worked on extranet applications called BpES (BitPipe Editorial System) and LeadCenter. Fixed bugs, and added new enhancements to the system. Worked with internal business users, and on development projects either independently or within a team. These products used Struts, Struts2, Servlets, JSP, JavaBeans, Hibernate, XML, Javascript, HTML, MySQL, and Eclipse on a Linux platform. One project I worked on used Mule, ActiveMQ JMS, and Spring. We additionally used Subversion for version control. The servers were Tomcat, JBoss, and Resin.

• Software Engineer

  Iron Mountain

  (Information Services industry)

  July 2001 — July 2004 (3 years 1 month)

  * Built the Image On Demand, Integrated Image on Demand, and Image Archive applications. Designed many new Ascent Capture 5.0 Release Scripts utilizing VB6/COM objects for the front-end of these applications. The back-end for these applications was a Java application to read JMS messages off of the SonicMQ server and then used JDBC to take XML messages and file the data into a MS SQL Server.
  * For the EVAA 2.1 project wrote a back-end multi-threaded Java application, this project was similar to the previous project in that it read XML messages off a SonicMQ and MQ Series server. The application used XSD's to verify the XML files, and then wrote the files to an FTP server.
  * Using Java, created an application that created Ascent Capture XML batch files which could be imported into Ascent Capture.

Lastly, I designed the Oracle database and the MS SQL Server 7.0 for this project.
  * Started work on the web-based Radiology Information System. I developed the MS SQL Server 2000 schema for this project which will be used as the database back-end. Tomcat will be used as the middle-ware Application Server, JavaBeans will be used to create the persistence-layer, and JSP and Servlets will be used to design the front-end GUI. This project made heavy use of UML and Design Patterns.
  * Worked on a small project for MedeView.com designing Servlets which took XML data from a third-party soucre and used XSLT to transform the data into HTML.
  * Mentored the Junior and Senior Systems Engineer and provided the answers to many technical and career questions
