PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Johns Creek GA

Application Architect

Responsibilities:

• Designed, developed, and implemented an Enterprise Encryption Services application (EES). This application is used to encrypt and or decrypt all credit card numbers passing through Macys department stores, from the registers to the back office. The initial prototype was developed using C#, .NET 2.0, COBOL, CICS, and MS SQL Server 2005. Given the number of credit cards retained by Macys (over 496 million) and based on the processing requirements, the data was moved from MS SQL Server 2005 to the mainframe DB2 database. In addition, several of the client services originally written in C# and the .NET 2.0
• Framework were redesigned and rewritten in COBOL/CICS. The system processes several million transactions per day in less than 2 seconds. I was responsible for writing the following technical documents for the system: architecture specification, program specifications, and application program interface module specifications. I worked with the data architects and DBAs to develop the logical and physical data models. I provided technical leadership to all applications teams using the service. I worked closely with several third party software providers to gain a better understanding of their product. This included when working with their Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) product used for data encryption and encryption key maintenance and PKWare Inc; when working with SecureZip, PartnerLink, and SecureZip Partner for file encryption. Provided work direction to several application developers. I encrypted and loaded over 496 million credit card numbers into the database. I provide ongoing support for the application which includes monitoring its performance, making sure that it meets all service level agreements currently in place, adding new services as needed, adding and or changing encryption and transport keys, and new users as needed. I am currently working with the enterprise architects in integrating the EES services into the new SOA/ESB infrastructure currently being designed.

Application Architect

Responsibilities:

• I was a senior architect in the design, development, and implementation of a new real time flight tracking system. The original application was written in C++ and ran on HP UNIX, the new application was written in C# using the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and ran on windows server 2003 servers. The application received real - time flight events from several external sources, parsed and stored the data in an MS SQL Server database, and created XML formatted messages that were published to several clients via TIBCO Rendezvous and Confidential MQSeries. This application processes over 1 million messages per day.
• I managed a staff of 12 application developers, 1 business analyst, 1 project leader, and 1 application architect. As manager of the Flight progress event system and the Flight Positioning System, I was responsible for ensuring that these mission critical applications were up 24/7/365. These systems provided flight data related to the operation of all Delta flights including Delta connection carriers to all airports served by Delta and its partners. This included arrival and departure data, airport gate assignments, delays, cancellations, and a host of other operational related data. In addition, over 50 internal applications and several external trading partners consumed this data. I had full responsibility for the annual budget with respect to hardware and software acquisition, staffing, consulting services, and (2.5MM in 2004).

Worked very closely with several other departments, such as Data Modeling, Database Administration, Computer Operations (z/OS Mainframe, TPF Mainframe, HP UNIX, and Win2003 server), and Middleware Services (MQSeries administration, and TIBCO administration). I was responsible for the accuracy of the data, preventing unauthorized access to the data, timely delivery of the data (2 seconds or less), and the resolution of all incidents that occurred during the course of operation.

In addition, I was the main point of contact for all technical matters related to but not limited to, the selection of hardware (servers, routers, network switches) and software (messaging

Over a two-year period, worked very closely with several internal and external senior technical resources, which included system engineers, software developers, security specialist, network engineers, project managers, database administrators, business subject matter experts, systems analysts, and third party hardware and software vendors. The system had to be able to meet extreme performance requirements given the nature and criticality on some of the data that passed through the system (daily flight schedules, periodic flight schedule updates, and Sky Miles Credits). In addition, less critical data had to be delivered in a timely and secure manner. The system also had to integrate well with existing applications that meant that it had to support multiple data transport protocols.
• The resulting infrastructure consisted of the following components: Sun Servers, Sterling commerce’s Connect: Enterprise for UNIX, Sterling commerce’s Connect: Mailbox for Z/OS, Sterling commerce’s Connect Direct (multiple platforms), TIBCO Business Connect, GE Global Services Application Integrator EDI translator, and Confidential ’s NetView FTP.
