Stan Harris

Collierville, TN (outside Memphis)

Software Contractor

Summary

I have 18 years experience as a software developer, including web applications, installed apps, and business application servers. I have performed roles in analysis, design, and also as a project leader. I have worked on projects with 5-7 team members as well as projects by myself. I have worked with non-technical business users and also as a technical lead for software developers. My goal with any project is to user technology as a means to and end. The business goal is always the focus.

Key Competencies

Web design I've used Javascript, CSS, HTML to develop web user web interfaces. For large corporate projects I've used proven technlogices like Java JSPs to dynamically create web pages. I am also working on a project using the extJS Javascript library, and the DWR Ajax library to create full-featured web user interfaces like those normally found in desktop apps. For small content managed projects I've used Wordpress to allow fast setup and non-technical user interaction to generate content.
Business Application Servers I coded business logic for corporate application servers using Java and BEA Web Logic Server, to manage transactions using J2EE standards. I've also used newer technologies like the Java Spring Framework to acheive cleaner and more modular design, resulting in quicker time to market, and more adaptable to change. I've used SQL and Hibernate for accessing databases, and also XML for data configuration and interchange.
