2004­Present Minneapolis, MN Develop quality, high­speed, object­oriented C++ code based on highly technical statistical documents. Some examples are integrated variance optimal designs (I­optimality), REstricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) analysis, branch and bound model selection, and statistical power estimation. Prototype new statistical methods in R before implementation in C++ production code. Led effort to replaced large amounts of legacy code originally ported from C/Fortran using modern OOP and generic programming techniques, resulting in more robust and maintainable code. Replaced decades­old in­house libraries with industry standard libraries such as Boost, STL, and LAPACK. This resulting in large speed gains in some instances, and allows the team to focus on features that add value. Implemented non­linear search for optimal designs that is faster and more accurate than the major competitors (JMP/SAS and Minitab).

. Pushed for and implemented best practices for the development team: Implemented a ticketing system (Redmine) that is integrated with source control via commit hooks to tie each commit to a ticket. Prior to my hiring a text file was used to track bugs. Implemented unit test framework (cppunit) that runs hundreds of unit tests every time a developer builds. Set up XML based regression testing of all reports generated by the software. Developed library to do visual regression testing of graphs and UI elements by manipulating the UI, taking screenshots, then comparing with known good screenshots using image comparison algorithms. Originally written in Perl, later migrated to C#. Implemented continuous integration server (Jenkins + Ant) that runs hundreds of automated regression tests when a developer commits. Also builds nightly binaries and runs visual tests. Wrote a script to move source from discontinued Visual SourceSafe to git while maintaining full commit history. Created web­based logistic regression tool (unreleased) using Ruby On Rails, C++ (via SWIG), and the Bootstrap framework. Used Cucumber for testing and Heroku for deployment. IT Manager
