Application Architect

Responsibilities:

• Service integration and security
• Created various patterns to catalog enterprise services; defined Common Information Model (CIM) using XML schema to create reusable interfaces. The effort resulted in a set of reusable enterprise services
• Implemented the services over an integration platform realized using Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The ESB provided common capabilities such as auditing, logging, security and data transformation
• Implemented several patterns that allowed development teams to test web service functionality and integration across different testing environments e.g. dev client testing against QA provider
• Implemented reusable web service security pattern using WS-Security. The pattern allowed developers to write web services without security and apply security administratively. The pattern ensured consistent application of web service security in a compliant way
• Created web service security architecture and web service development guidance documents. The documents formed the basis for the subsequent web service
• Trained client employees in XML, XML schema, web service and web service security
• Implemented security for SOAP based web services, RESTful services
• Implemented SAML 2.0 based SSO integration with a vendor partners; the solution implements both web (OIF Web SSO) and web service (WS-Security) based SSO. The solution is being used as the template for all B2B vendor SSOs
• Developed custom security modules to implement various security use cases e.g. account lockout in web service integration scenarios. The work was turned into enterprise pattern for mobile applications
• Implemented encryption and signature using JCE APIs for legacy applications
• User migration and registration
• Created a roadmap to migrate thousands of existing users from legacy applications to the new security stack. Worked with the business to create migration flows, data migration and SSO requirements
• Designed and developed various registration processes for different user types using MVC web application running on WebLogic; integrated the application with the security stack using OIM APIs
• Implemented several OIM batch processes to synchronize and clean up registration and other identity data
• Portal, content and fusion middleware
• Designed and implemented enterprise search on portal using portal and content server API integration techniques. The work delivered the search functionality in 15 days before the go live and eliminated the need for Google search appliance saving the client thousands of dollars
• Designed the service integration techniques between portlet clients and enterprise services on ESB
• Helped business develop users, applications and content migration strategies

Confidential

BPM/SOA consultant

Responsibilities:

• Created ESB strategy that uses WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) as the ESB between windows, mainframe, J2EE applications and WebSphere Process Server (WPS)
• Created interface requirements, service exposure guidelines and message structure guidelines for windows and J2EE applications to prepare them for communication with WPS and WMB
• Designed and documented runtime topology between WebSphere Process Server (for process), WebSphere ESB Server or Message Broker (for integration) and WebSphere Application Server (for services)
• Helped create WPS infrastructure including WPS database migration from cloudscape to DB2, security configuration with LDAP, event management and monitoring enablement
• Defined traceability strategy among BPM/SOA artifacts and deliverables
• Created a development approach that uses WebSphere Business Modeler (WBM) for modeling, WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) for integration analysis and BPEL development, and Rational Software Architect (RSA) to model services; the approach included guidance on how to integrate development artifacts in these tools and tie them to requirements in Requisite Pro
• Designed and developed several WPS and mediation modules for various projects
• Evaluated and compared business process modeling tools
• Participated in MQ Workflow to WPS migration, redesigned integration of MQ Workflow with mainframe to include WMB as the ESB

• Evaluated the architecture of the current application, performed fit-gap analysis and identified areas of improvements for the new architecture to support advance messaging and integration requirements
• Evaluated the current application by studying and reverse engineering existing code; corrected poor architecture/design choices by introducing web services and service oriented integration concepts redesigning the messaging infrastructure
• Created, Owned and maintained Software Architecture Document
• Analyzed WebSphere Process Server and ESB Server to be used as a platform for the messaging infrastructure and implement business process to process claim message
• Designed service endpoints and used SOAP over JMS to process SOAP messages as web service rather than parse xml
