Mendocino, CA

Welcome to my "Valon Cross" Personal Site

Hello World!

This contains my professional background, personal information with some links.

I "retired" to go into construction and am now co-owner at Commercial Door & Frame, Inc.

I used to work at a large US bank as a technical team lead and unofficial technical project manager for eComm Online Banking projects (Java, Spring, Struts 2, WebSphere, Web Services, Oracle).

In an earlier life at this bank, I implemented a 3rd party commercial rules engine for the Bank's mortgage division with Java and MQ messaging on Solaris and AIX.

I once told one a former mananger that I want to be his "efficiency expert" and improve processes for the developers. He welcomed this. I've used soapUI and other XML message responder tools for repeatable local testing of different use cases without a back end connection.
