Improving Document Management
(10/01-08/02)
Also while a grad student at UNC Chapel Hill, I worked with university staff to improve a knowledge management system. The system had two document repositories which needed synchronization.
I implemented web services using Axis for event production by one system and consumption by the other whenever a new document pertaining to coursework was added.
Results
- Improved the document management process for a knowledge management system
- Created web services in Java using Apache Axis to synchronize document collections across document management systems
- Optimized caching pipeline for the content management system (based on Apache Cocoon) to serve documents 13% faster

My first internship after my first semester of programming.
Supervisor, first day: “So, you know Visual Basic?”
Me: “Ummm, no. I?ve only worked with Modula2.”
Him: “Ok, well, grab yourself a book and we’ll reimburse you for it.”
… all in German.
In any case, the code was delivered a month later on-time and to-spec.
