Wolf Paulus’s Experience
-
Embedded System Software Architect
IntelliDOT
(Privately Held; Hospital & Health Care industry)
November 2008 — Present (9 months)
Embedded System Software Architect for the CAREt, a lightweight, wireless handheld device that enables nurses to perform safety checks and safely administer medications at the bedside. The device scans 1D and 2D barcodes, has a simple display and keypad, and communicates over-the-air (Wireless LAN Wi-Fi / 802.11) with a Java Application Server.
• Upgrading the OS to a Linux distribution, optimized for embedded, connected devices.
• Porting and deploying a fast JIT and multitasking capable Java Virtual Machine JVM to the barcode point-of-care (BPOC) embedded device.
• Architecting a new binary web service protocol, allowing limited connected devices to use web services, without requiring large frameworks. -
Software Architect
Autonomy Cardiff
(Public Company; AUTN; Computer Software industry)
January 2000 — November 2008 (8 years 11 months)
Software Architect and Project Lead for LiquidOffice, a Web-based eForm automation and workflow solution for creating, deploying, and automatically managing the routing, tracking and approval processes for electronic forms.
• Leading a team of senior developers working on a Java-based XML server, SwiXml-based rich-client, and a JSP-TagLib based Web-UI.
• Developed HTML-Object library, an object model, allowing developers to work type-safely when writing code that generates HTML GUIs.
• Developed clustering module, transforming LiquidOffice from a single-server to a clustered solution.
• Developed a business activity monitoring component, using JMX and Hessian for remoting, an HTTP based event system, allowing client apps. to receive events when data is available (rather than polling).
• Providing technical leadership, transitioning to state of the art technologies, e.g. from manual XML-parsing to XPath, from DOM to JDOM, from JSP to Tag-Libraries, and from WebUI to Rich-Client. -
Project Manager
Artificial Life
(Public Company; 51-200 employees; ALIF.OB; Computer Software industry)
June 1999 — December 1999 (7 months)
Led a team of seven, to develop information and knowledge-gathering agents for Intranets. The project required strong written and oral communication skills to exchange ideas with and coordinate team members in Boston, MA; Zurich, Switzerland; and St. Petersburg, Russia.
* Developed the 'ALife Smart-Bot', an intelligent agent, operating based on user profiles. -
Software Engineer
Cardiff Software, Inc.
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Computer Software industry)
June 1996 — June 1999 (3 years 1 month)
Developed the eForm Solution for Cardiff's flagship product, TELEform. The TELEform eForm Solution converts scanned paper forms into HTML forms, which when deployed, export information received via HTTP/HTTPS into predefined databases. This was successfully shown at Comdex 97 and CeBIT 98.
* Developed an HTML and JavaScript code generator in C++.
* Developed a layout engine for HTML documents in C++.
* Developed a Java-Applet generator for converting XML encoded form-definitions into Java Applets (with Servlet-based server back-end.) -
Project Manager
Deutsche Bank
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; DB; Banking industry)
January 1993 — June 1996 (3 years 6 months)
Led a software project to develop an electronic banking application for Deutsche Bank retail-banking customers. The multimedia rich application became one of the first proprietary electronic banking and security trading applications, was successfully shown at CeBIT 96, and played to the strength of Deutsche Bank, significantly raising the bar for generic solutions like Quicken.
The project required a deep understanding of client/server computing in an electronic banking environment and the ability to manage different groups coming from diverse corporate cultures. Even today, the User-Interface seems revolutionary, emphasizing the innovative nature of this highly visible venture.
* Analyzed business requirements and develop technical design specifications.
* Managed and supervised software component development contracted from Siemens AG, Telesoft GmbH, and MediaLab. -
Software Engineer
Siemens
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; SI; Medical Devices industry)
April 1989 — December 1992 (3 years 9 months)
Software development for Cerec, the embedded medical device, which allows dentists to produce an indirect ceramic dental restoration using a variety of computer assisted technologies including 3D photography and CAD/CAM.
* Responsibilities included algorithm design and data modeling for digital image processing and image data compression.
* Managed and supervised software components development contracted from Aten Development, Lyon, France.
