Richard Martino
Software Guru

Overview

Richard Martino specializes in the analysis and design of complex computer algorithms. Chances are that, if other people cannot solve the problem, Richard can. Some of his most challenging accomplishments have been:

  • Researched, designed and wrote web-based generic database table update utility in ASP.NET and SQL Server.
  • Disassembled UNIX commands, taught self assembler, wrote real time system monitoring program in C.
  • Designed & wrote input definition portion of nuclear reactor simulator.
  • Rewrote numerical analysis solution of non-linear differential equation into assembler language to decrease CPU time.
  • Analyzed, designed & wrote program to control 5-axis numerically controlled milling machine to make specialized parts on geometric surfaces.
  • Automated multi-platform database updating so much that he was laid off.

In order to develop software better and faster, Richard has written on his own initiative several software development and diagnostic tools, such as extensive overloading of diagnostic tracing, Windows tail monitor of IIS logs, find data any place in database, multi-database manager, regular expression recursive file searcher.

In addition to being a software guru, he is also an accomplished teacher and a dynamic leader.

Software Engineering Experience

  • Software Engineer, Medcere Corporation, Clearwater, 2005-Present
    • Researched, designed and wrote web-based generic database table update utility in C# ASP.NET and SQL Server stored procedures. Used SQL system tables to extract identity columns and foreign key relationships to aid user.
    • Consolidated multiple web addresses using different databases into single point of software accessing different databases. Reduced web site update time by 80%.
    • Supporting legacy ASP code. Added logging for better diagnostics.
    • Promoted to Practice Management System Project Lead in February, 2006
    • Designing and writing user friendly Report Factory in AJAX, C# ASP.NET and SQL stored procedures against non-normalized database to empower users to write own reports with ease and convenience.
    • Wrote Microsoft SQL to find a piece of data within any column of any table within any database on a server.
  • Software Engineer, iDatix Corporation, Clearwater, 2004-05
    • Analyzed, designed & wrote C# .NET method to measure how much of a bitmap image of an elliptical checkbox on a medical questionnaire form is checked by a person's hand drawing of a check mark.
    • Analyzed, designed & wrote the Microsoft SQL database, and process & task definition portions including GUI's of a business workflow system in C# .NET.
    • Helped design workflow user interface in C# and ASP.NET for their iSynergy Business Process Automation solution.
    • Designed & wrote a Full-Text Microsoft Windows Service that OCR'ed TIFF files, leveraging their xTractor Automated Indexing Engine, and a corresponding Web Service that returned results from a full-text search query.
    • Designed & wrote C# .NET application to produce PDF images of bank checks from database of check data.
    • Wrote TIFF file page validator in C#.
