Microsoft, Issaquah, WA September 2003 - August 2004 Software Engineer 2 Contracted as a Web Developer for support.microsoft.com website. Site has hits in the millions per day. Primary responsibility is the look, feel, and functionality of the KB articles which includes C#, XSLT, DHTML, and CSS work. Also was the main contributor to all DHTML throughout the site such as newsgroups, page tools, and statistics logging through the client-side. The technical lead tasked me to design and implement the client-side to server-side data transfer system responsible for tracking client statistics for the Support Family of Microsoft sites. I successfully completed this task ahead of schedule. This task required the coordination between several teams at Microsoft in order to communicate effectively the technical direction of this project and how to integrate with existing sites. The tech lead also gave me responsibility of creating the XSLT transforms that output the HTML code for all of the knowledge base articles in support.microsoft.com. This resulted in a 10% performance gain to the support.microsoft.com site compared with the previous version. After this was completed, I was given the further responsibility to create the next version of the knowledge base XSLT transforms. After completion, this version was given directly to the XML publishing provider to be transformed at the source. This resulted in a 20% site performance gain.

The experience gave me insight on the process of creating great software. It comes down to great people working together efficiently. After the first 3 months of proven success, the project lead granted me the ability to work from home about 90% of the time so I was able to work out of my home in Vancouver, WA (over 100 miles away) and coming in once or twice a month for meetings. This demonstrates not only the confidence the project lead had in my abilities but also my responsibility, motivation and effective communication skills (self-motivated).
