Ali A. (Toraj) Khavari’s Summary

I have more than 15+ years of hands on engineering experience, and have proposed and developed systems and applications in .Net and J2EE technologies. I have held enterprise architect, solution architect, data architect, technology leader, and developer positions. There are dozens of my products being used by clients worldwide. I have an extensive knowledge of Enterprise Architecture (EA), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), n-tier components including server software architecture, design and implementation in Microsoft .Net suite of products and open source J2EE, Java. My architectural approaches continue to result in systems built from autonomous stateless services using enterprise SOA solutions. E.g., Columbia Analytical Services, Inc. in Kalso WA(analytical laboratory), A-dec, Inc. in Newberg OR (manufacturing), US Natural Resources Information Systems (NRIS) Agency, in Corvallis, OR (US Federal Agency), Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR (Semiconductor Marketing) and Aetna, Inc., Middletown, CT (Insurance).

I have a proven ability to be innovative, open to potential partnerships, identify/evaluate off-the-shelves third party architecture solutions/products, and receptive to industry analysis. I set and communicate expectations with external partners; i.e., vendor partners, affiliates, vendors and other partners who are critical to the success of the project and operational flow.

I have numerous applications released in production environments, which started from high-level concepts. I worked with clients, users and constituencies to gather and document requirements before architecting and developing enterprise solutions through a working software system.

I am very strong in motivation and leadership. I am a deep thinker and technically oriented. My technical skills are augmented by solid business acumen, good people skills and interest in systems development.
