SUMMARY

Mark Siegman has over 20 years of professional experience in Analysis and Design, Application
Architecture, and Software Development in a client server environment. He has taken on lead
rolls and has been instrumental in training and mentoring others on the use of development tools
and application systems. Mark has a strong work ethic, is a self starter and a proven team player.

In the last 3 years Mark has been instrumental in the design and creation of a J2EE application
for the mortgage industry. As a team and technical lead Mark directed and mentored other
developers in their work and design to ensure a consistent look and feel of the application. Mark
was on the project from the beginning and took part in creating the original design documents
and functional specs. The application uses JSP and STRUTS to dynamically build the web pages.
Action classes and delegates call EJB classes and application services to perform the business
logic and to access the PostgreSQL database. Mark designed and created the tools to build the
Data Access Objects used in making calls to the database and the Data Transfer Objects used for
transferring the data between the database and the user interface. Web Services and JMS are used
for importing the data received from loan servicers into the database.
