Professional Experience

Software Application Engineer

Designed, developed, tested and deployed new modules and entities within an existing JAVA/J2EE based three-tier application the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource Project sponsored by the National Institute of Health. The IEDB system is an Internet based resource through which information on epitope is freely available to scientists worldwide. The IEDB provides a resource that will allow for the generation of new research tools, diagnostic techniques, vaccines and therapeutics for emerging and reemerging diseases.

The design employed JSP, PHP, AJAX, JavaScript, HTML and CSS at the UI layer, J2EE Struts and Spring/Hibernate at the business layer and ORACLE and MYSQL at the database end. All the initiatives were successfully deployed to the production servers running Apache Tomcat and Weblogic.

IMMUNE EPITOPE DATABASE AND ANALYSIS RESOURCE (IEDB) CURATION SYSTEM:

• Responsible for the workflow and business logic of the system. Utilized the Struts framework to construct manager methods to interact between data access object (Dao) and actions. Primary technologies employed: J2EE, Spring/Hibernate, Struts, Oracle. Applied the MVC model for the J2EE framework.
• Development of many different aspects of the product from backend user access and database access layer development to direct front end web application development.
• Researched and enhanced Web-service development - Import GenPept and ChEBI records without protein feature annotation. Added ability to fetch ChEBI data via web service using the SOAP protocol.
• Analyzed the existing components as well the database schema and data to contribute to new enhancements and feature requests to the project, such as Mass Clear, Accession Finder, Copy Assay and SMILES Structure Editor
• Generated the JSON for the External Projects (Browse By 3D), using JAVA Spring and Oracle. Created data access objects using JDBC.
• Created Indexes using the Lucene which was used in the External Website as a Keyword Search.
• Import and Export XML data using JAXB and JAVA and did validation of the XSD and ran against the Validation engine which employed Drools. Worked in an Independent and Self Starting Environment
• Worked in a Team-oriented environment using Scrum and Test Driven Development (TDD) practices.
• Extensive SQL experience across Oracle and Mysql databases. Responsible for relational database design and implementation including using stored procedures triggers and constraints as needed and if applicable

IEDB EXTERNAL WEBSITE:

• IEDB NEWS SECTION (LIVE UPDATES FROM ZENDESK): End to end Designing, Prototyping and Complete Implementation, single handedly determined customer needs for developing a news section which would take in live feeds from the ZENDESK forum, utilizing AJAX, Web Services, PHP and CURL to categorize, organize and sort relative news section on the IEDB landing page
• ADVANCED SEARCH, SORTING AND PAGING: Implemented site-wide functionality encompassing Search, Advanced Search, Sorting, Paging and Exporting to honor multiple deadlines to our client\'s (LIAI) satisfaction.
• EXPORT FUNCTIONALITY: Designed, developed and collaborated the CSV functionality across all major sections (Search - Simple, Keyword Search, Advanced, Browse By, List Pages) of the IEDB solution - External System, employing backend skills such as SQL and PHP. Facilitated huge memory improvements for the exported file, which caused the system to be irresponsive, which was a huge setback to the customer. Internationalized the CSV file download by enabling UTF-8 support on the file system.
