Senior Software Developer

Techna Research Institute, University Health Network, Toronto

February 2013 – Present

• Developed an experimental web-based application using Google Web Toolkit (GWT) that allows clinicians and researchers to view CT and MRI scans in a web browser as well as to contour and measure detected tumours. The measurements of tumours are then processed to calculate a RECIST score, which is used for clinical and research purposes. This project is a part of Personalized Cancer Medicine initiative.
• Developed a mobile application that integrates critical information for clinicians and researchers treating cancer patients and doing research into cancer. The front end of the application is based on Codename One framework to allow deploying to iOS-based and Android-based devices. The back end server uses Spring framework to implement a RESTful service.
• Developed the functionality for a WordPress-based website that allows project leads at University Health Network to publish and track progress of various strategic initiatives.

Technologies used: Java, GWT, HTML, CSS, Hibernate, Apache Tomcat, SQL, PHP, WordPress, Codename One, Spring, REST.

Research Assistant (Software Developer)

University of Waterloo, Waterloo

November 2012 – January 2013 (3 months)

Developed a multitouch application for the graduate adviser’s research project, which is aimed at developing a computerized touch-screen tool for art therapists working with Alzheimer’s patients. The software allows therapists to design individualized computer applications for particular clients. The resulting applications look like painting programs, but are usually simpler, can follow the therapeutic goals of the therapist designer, and can be adapted to particular user’s needs, taking into account visual, auditory and motor capabilities.

Technologies used: Java, C++, Processing framework, OpenCV, openFrameworks.
