Adrian S., Portable Devices Programming

Adrian has over 10 years in the software engineering field. During his career he focused on implementing real-time solutions for the financial industry. In the first years Adrian worked part of a development team that delivered a complete trading platform (C++/Sun Solaris) for the Swiss Stock Exchange. Then he took over some projects for RBC Dominion Securities where he worked on various order routing and reporting tools. This is also the time when he embraced Java as an alternative to C++. 

Since 2000 Adrian has approached J2EE and Sun's iPlanet application server by successfully pioneering a project for Etrade Canada. His experience covers a wide spectrum of requirements derived from using an iPlanet J2EE solution: iPlanet administration (installation, clustering, fault-tolerance), application development and deployment, RMI-IIOP integration, JNI interfacing to legacy systems. As a freelance consultant, Adrian has developed various e-commerce web sites integrated with PayPal (Servlets and JSPs , running on Apache web server and accessing a MySQL database). 

Recently, his interest is growing towards developing some user friendly PocketPC applications that would perform equally well also on a desktop PC or laptop. Currently he is working on a warehouse inventory application which exports some reports to Excel files and runs on a HP iPaq H5555 using Windows CE and Jeode JVM.
