• Wrote several XML schema files (XSD). Wrote several XML stylesheets (XSLT). Wrote a C# utility that checks XML files against XSD schema files. Wrote a C# utility that transforms an XML file from a compatible schema to another compatible schema, using an XSLT stylesheet converter. Became experienced with Stylus Studio and XMLSpy.
• Designed and implemented prototype BizTalk application that accepted loan applications and stored them to the data server. Figured out how to remove about two-thirds of code by using Microsoft BizTalk instead of home created code.
