James Dornan
Senior Applications Engineer, IT Services
Current Role at StanfordAs a Senior Applications Engineer at Stanford University, I design, develop, integrate, and optimize enterprise applications supporting campus identity, physical access, housing, scheduling, and institutional data systems.
My work frequently involves connecting complex systems that were not originally designed to work together. I have developed integrations between Stanford's building access control systems and StarRez for automated student access management; synchronized data between CS Gold and Lenel OnGuard; connected ID card systems with the campus data warehouse for student, staff, and alumni information; and integrated 25Live scheduling data with access control to automate room access based on scheduled events.
I have also developed applications for bulk access assignment and revocation, building alarm notifications, and ID photo submission and review.
A major focus of my work is performance and scalability. I designed and developed Databolt, a Docker-based data-processing service that uses parallel processing, hashing, and pre-emptive caching to minimize unnecessary work and dramatically improve throughput. Databolt reduced processing of 10,000 records from approximately 7–13 hours to 10–20 minutes. In one area, pre-emptive caching reduced transaction processing from approximately 7 seconds to 0.0003 seconds.
My role combines application development, systems architecture, enterprise integration, database engineering, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. I typically work across the full problem—from understanding operational requirements and existing systems through architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement.
Technologies used in my Stanford work include JavaScript, Java, SQL, PHP, Docker, Nginx, Oracle, WebLogic, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Linux, Windows, and COM. -
Dong Liang
Instructional Designer Dvlpr 2, IT Services
BioMy background gives me a unique perspective on the question of learning design. I have formal education in both computer science and humanities, which means I am not only trained to understand how technologies work, but also have strong research and writing skills. Years of reading and writing argumentative essays makes me fluent at the art of communicating complex ideas. I have extensive classroom teaching experience, which gives me a big advantage when approaching the problem of instructional design because I learned how to create e-learning courses from brick-and-mortar experiences. Finally, my passion for education technology drives me toward using innovative tools to create engaging, immersive learning experiences, within or without a classroom.
