and feel for web-based applications. Owned development strategy and architecture for the client-side, Ajax framework used
to construct stand-alone JavaScript widgets based on Dojo templates, JSF Extensions, and Prototype. Developed multiple
server-side rendering kits, allowing JSF components to process custom Ajax requests while still rendering JSP tags.

2. Developed Ajax-based table component to obtain rows of sorted and filtered JSON data, using a vertical scroll bar instead of
pagination controls. Implemented solutions for a11y issues with Ajax and DHTML based on standards suggested by W3C.
Improved performance by creating custom Dojo builds, combined image/CSS/JavaScript files, and JavaScript compression.
Developed web browser caching scheme, using a theme Java Servlet, allowing new resources to be loaded via versioned
resource path names.
● JSF Extensions - An open source project crucial to the Ajax architecture of JSF-based components. Contributed Ajax
solutions based on custom JSF view handlers, phase listeners, renderers, and Java Servlets; thus, ensuring the JSF life cycle
properly decodes, validates, and updates JSF-based components during an Ajax request.

Phobos. Extended various JavaScript widgets for use in the open source jMaki Ajax framework.
● Lockhart Common Components - A library of JSF components and JSP tags providing a consistent look and feel for
developers of system management applications. Created functional and design specifications to ensure a common set of JSP
tag attributes, a11y, and i18n methods. Developed core JSP tags such as button, check box, drop-down menu, label, selectable
list, and radio button. Developed advanced JSP tags including a full-featured (sort, filter, and paginated) table, context Java
help, date/time scheduler, file chooser, masthead, CSS, and i18n. Created company wide policy for UTF-8 and native
encoding; thus, producing technical specifications describing i18n support and best practices to ensure double byte locales
display properly.
● Sun Java Web Console - A common access point and single sign-on for all Sun system management applications. Created
context help architecture to display console and application help pages in a pop-up window. Developed i18n tag and utility
classes used by all JATO-based components, the Sun Java Web Console, and applications. Developed Serial Port Manager
application to manage serial ports on a system. Developed User Manager application for the purpose of determining the best
strategy for migrating system management applications to a web-based model.
● Solaris Management Console (SMC) - A distributed software environment to create Swing-based system management
applications using CIM and WEBM. Modified SMC to display context help using the Tomcat web server. Devised a way to
utilize Sun One Studio for debugging SMC environment. Fixed various bugs in SMC source code; in particular, with the
Toolbox editor.
● EZ Cluster Install Wizard - A robust set of Bourne shell scripts underneath a Solaris WebStart Wizard which helps guide users
