Welcome to the web site of '''Steven Lawrance''', [http://www.mse.cs.cmu.edu/ master of software engineering (MSE)]. I enjoy building complete computing solutions at all levels of abstraction to automate business processes at a low cost, in a short time frame, and with high quality. Put my experience, interests, training, and expertise to work for you. Please feel free to [mailto:steven@moonlightdesign.org contact me today].


==Interests and Consulting Services==
<div align="center">
These areas all share a common theme of putting software to work for you, regardless of the underlying technology. For me, computing solutions are not about the technology; they are about what the technology can do for you.

|[http://www.salesforce.com/ Salesforce.com]||Web-based business software platform and suite of integrated business applications. During my time at Salesforce.com, I have worked on several teams -- API, Force.com Sites, Site.com, and Platform Security. Most recently, I led the implementation of custom https domains for Salesforce's site technologies, and this included tangential work, such as the domain management screens that were added in Summer '14. I've been a go-to person for several parts of the platform, and this includes Force.com Sites, the database tier of Site.com, site publishing, custom https domains, clickjack protection, inbound and outbound https connections, the reverse proxy caching layer for sites, IPv6, and our main production feature testing tool.<br><br>At Salesforce.com's Dreamforce 2013 conference, I presented a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7L1pSfcCJc session on the lessons learned while developing a Force.com solution] to replace an older Microsoft Access solution for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.<br><br>Earlier at Salesforce.com, I integrated the low-level parts of Siteforce into the core Salesforce.com product; wrote Siteforce's Resin and runtime server configurations; wrote a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting cross site scripting] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox Firefox]/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebug_(Firefox_extension) Firebug] extension to test proper output escaping in the manual and automated tests; improved an internal production testing tool's scheduling of tests by adding prerequisite expressions to increase test parallelization; and added per-window screenshots to an internal testing tool by extending Selenium with JNI native code.||{{Tech:Java}}, {{Tech:Ant}}, {{Tech:Selenium}}, {{Tech:JUnit}}, {{Tech:Salesforce.com}}, {{Tech:Jetty}}, {{Tech:Resin}}, {{Tech:JSP}}, {{Tech:Servlet}}, {{Tech:JNI}}, {{Tech:Win32}}, {{Tech:X11}}||large||2007-current

Software Project Experience

Team software

I materially participated in the team software projects listed below:

Name Description Technologies SLOC Year
Salesforce.com Web-based business software platform and suite of integrated business applications. During my time at Salesforce.com, I have worked on several teams -- API, Force.com Sites, Site.com, and Platform Security. Most recently, I led the implementation of custom https domains for Salesforce's site technologies, and this included tangential work, such as the domain management screens that were added in Summer '14. I've been a go-to person for several parts of the platform, and this includes Force.com Sites, the database tier of Site.com, site publishing, custom https domains, clickjack protection, inbound and outbound https connections, the reverse proxy caching layer for sites, IPv6, and our main production feature testing tool.

At Salesforce.com's Dreamforce 2013 conference, I presented a session on the lessons learned while developing a Force.com solution to replace an older Microsoft Access solution for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

Earlier at Salesforce.com, I integrated the low-level parts of Siteforce into the core Salesforce.com product; wrote Siteforce's Resin and runtime server configurations; wrote a cross site scripting Firefox/Firebug extension to test proper output escaping in the manual and automated tests; improved an internal production testing tool's scheduling of tests by adding prerequisite expressions to increase test parallelization; and added per-window screenshots to an internal testing tool by extending Selenium with JNI native code.
Java, Apache Ant, Selenium, JUnit, Force.com, Jetty, Resin, JSP, Servlets, JNI, Win32, X11 large 2007-current
Reggie/CIS A 200-user multi-tenant three-tiered HIV/AIDS client database system that was used by all Ryan White Foundation CARE-funded AIDS service organizations in San Francisco in collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) AIDS Office and two partners to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF), where I worked for about five years. I actively maintained this system with a colleague at the DPH AIDS Office and was principally responsible for maintaining the "CIS" portion of Reggie/CIS, which extended the Reggie platform with extra features that the SFAF and two other organizations used. Java, VBScript, Swing, T-SQL, MS SQL Server, CVS, JavaScript, C, JNI, CORBA, IIS, COM, Win32 162,005 2000-2005
DonorPerfect Online Donor and fundraising event management system used by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. I migrated AIDS/LifeCycle data from a Goldmine database to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation's customized DonorPerfect Online system using a test-driven development process for the SQL scripts. I also contributed substantially to the bulk data entry wizard, fixed bugs throughout the system, including security holes, made all pages and JavaScripts operate properly in Mozilla Firefox, and implemented strict URL filtering security using an Apache reverse-proxy and mod_rewrite. VBScript, T-SQL, MS SQL Server, JavaScript, Apache HTTP Server, IIS, CVS 97,592 2004-2005
SFAF CRM Customer relationship management system that was implemented by a colleague at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation that primarily serves the organization's volunteer based programs department, automates expense reports, and runs the California AIDS Hotline. I enhanced the deployment system using CVS in a web-based front-end, helped my colleague fix various bugs, and enhanced its Internet-facing security with an Apache reverse-proxy and mod_rewrite. VBScript, T-SQL, MS SQL Server, JavaScript, Apache HTTP Server, IIS, CVS 69,015 2001-2005
Bosch Security Configuration Assistant An Eclipse-based application that generates three-dimensional security plans for buildings using a rule engine and three-dimensional visualization. In this project, I integrated a Windows-based three-dimensional visualization program into an Eclipse view, kept our RedHat Fedora Core server and software available, secure, usable, and backed up using only one hour per week of my time on average throughout the project, and automated our data collection and reporting processes to minimize project overhead work. This group project involved four other students -- two whom also work at Salesforce.com -- and served as a laboratory for us to directly apply coursework to a software project with a real client throughout our software engineering masters' programs. Java, Eclipse, UML, Apache Ant, Bugzilla, CruiseControl, MediaWiki, Subversion, SWT, C++, JNI, Win32 21,274 2005-2006
Park 'N Park A fault-tolerant, distributed, real-time three-tiered application for tracking parking garage usage. This was an academic project. Java, CORBA, MySQL, CVS 2,027 2006
Teacher's Pet Shares a tab in your Mozilla Firefox browser with one or more remote browsers, which can be useful in virtual classroom environments JavaScript, Java, XUL, XPCOM, Subversion 1,251 2006
Hulk Physically navigates a maze using a customized Parallax Boe-Bot. This project involved both custom hardware and custom software as well as trade-offs between the two when implementing features. Parallax BASIC Stamp, Parallax Boe-Bot, Subversion 784 2006
URL Lock Follow-up project to IE URL Lock that sports a configuration user interface and implements new ideas for visually disabling content on the web JavaScript, XUL, C++, XPCOM, Win32, Subversion 3,868 2006
Ariesbase Intranet system for Ariesnet, Inc. During the Summer of 1999, I helped shape the back-end functionality, such as the security system and global includes, and I also created a high-level specification for an employee rating system for virtual team environments. PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, CVS medium 1999-2000


Software that I created

I wrote and maintain the following software:

Name Description Technologies SLOC Year
Home Profiler Synchronizes user profile data between multiple desktop computers, regardless of the operating system.

Lines of code were computed using SLOCCount and, for extensions not supported by SLOCCount, find . -iname \*\\.js -print0 -or -iname \*\\.bs2 -print0 -or -iname \*\\.idl -print0 -or -iname \*\\.asp -print0 -or -iname \*\\.clp -print0 -or -iname \*\\.xul -print0 -or -iname \*\\.bas -print0 -or -iname \*\\.exc -print0| xargs -0 -Ixxx cat xxx| grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]"|wc -l. SLOC counts that relate to San Francisco AIDS Foundation software that has not been made open-source were computed during my final months of employment; Carnegie Mellon University asked for those numbers as part of the admission process. Generated code is excluded from the SLOC counts. With generated code, such as the Reggie/CIS code generated from idlj, the SLOC counts balloon significantly.
