Senior Developer

Responsibilities:

I am the senior Java Developer responsible for developing cloud content and developing solutions for demonstration at HP seminars and for its clients as part of its quarterly releases.

Project Description:

Confidential

To create cloud solutions content I have used HP's products like Cloud Service Administration, Operations Orchestrations, Server Automation, Database Middleware Administration to design the catalogs, resource offerings, service blueprints etc. which can be used by the clients out of the box. Played a key role in creating appliances for the HP products which needed to be deployed at client locations and these appliances could be imported via VCenter and when the Virtual Machine is started in the client environment for the first time, the scripts take over and configure the product with minimal manual intervention. The appliance consisted of 2 VMs, one with HP Cloud Solutions Administration and HP Operation Orchestration running on Windows and another VM running HP Server Automation and HP Database and Middleware Automation on RHEL.

Responsibilities:

I am the Lead Developer for Prudential Financials Electronic Assistant application and I meet with business representatives/owners to understand the business requirements and develop enhancements and BAU changes as required. I am involved in creating system specs documents, walking it thru for the project stakeholders, coding based on the specs and testing individual components. I also design make database changes as and when required and write SQL queries/procedures for the application. I am also actively involved in reviewing test plans prepared by the testing teams and supporting the test execution.

Accomplishments:

• I improved the application load time when volume data was involved by using Java best practices and configurable scheduling of the tasks involved while loading of the application which together improved load time from 45 seconds to about 1.5 seconds when dealing with more than a 1000 cases resulting in improved user experience for Prudential's most active and influential agents. The case transfer feature was also tweaked to improve performance by using buffers while reading files. These performance boosts were much appreciated by the agents on the field.
• Played an active role in a major redesign of EA that was part of the larger changes across the organization. This was designed to make the application process simpler and more competitive in the existing market scenario with respect to the competitors. I led the Electronic Assistant development team to deliver these changes on time and within budget with the least number of defects found by QA and UA. As part of regression testing to ensure that the existing app data did not change I was responsible for running the case XML comparison tests involving 3 major systems in prudential that gave everyone a lot of comfort in the code base in arriving at a GO decision for the release.
• Improved the existing templates for writing functional specifications to make it easier for both the technical and business teams to implement and understand. Earlier the functional specs were too non-technical keeping in mind the needs of the business users but this was changed to make it easier for the technical team to implement the changes by having the current Vs requested functionality in a tabular format side by side. This greatly reduced incorrect interpretations by developers while coding.

Confidential is a fat client, data capturing application for prudential used by the life insurance agents to sell insurance to their clients. The agents use it to fill in an application offline, generate the forms and get them signed electronically at the client location and then submit this application online to the prudential underwriting and imaging systems from their offices. This product is designed and developed in core java which implements the business logic that drives screen generation, business rule enforcement, signature capturing PDF form generation, MS Access database containing the application configuration data. Interaction between the data capturing HTML screens with Java is through Applets and Javascript and HTML is used as the front end that caters to the application needs dynamically and the application details is stored in an XML format in the local file system. MQ Series is the messaging system to submit the application and communicate with the downstream systems.

Team Leader

Confidential

Responsibilities:

I was involved in Designing, Developing and Testing components in technologies like EJB 3.0 Entity Beans, Session beans, Timer Beans, Message Beans, XML Beans Core Java. I created UML diagrams to show system and user interaction. I also Developed and tested components using Java Comm. API, XML, Macromedia Flash and Flash ORB server to capture GPS co-ordinates from a GPS device using the Java Comm API and then pass it on to Flash using the ORB Server which would then store the co-ordinates of the location in an XML format. I also worked on maintenance projects for a US utility billing company. I was also actively involved in creating system designs and involved in test planning activities. I also prepared project plans and project schedules. As part of my association with SDI I successfully led teams of developers, web designers and testers in delivering solutions to clients within the project cost deadline.

Accomplishments:

• I was responsible for researching and exploring new technologies like EJB 3.0 that was later used in the JEDI project extensively. This resulted in an easier learning curve for the rest of the team in coming up to speed with the newer technologies for the Nukore JEDI project.
• Created templates for EJB 3.0 Entity Beans, Session Beans, MDB and Timer Beans that was used by the team. This resulted in saving crucial development time that would have resulted with each developer trying to reinvent the wheel. This enabled the developers to concentrate on implementing the business logic rather than coming to terms with the semantics of the technology.
• I motivated and worked with the team under tight timelines in delivering a proof of concept to the client in time which gave the client confidence in our ability to deliver the Vizional Map Maker. Since the Project Manager was in the US working with the client in gathering requirements, I was responsible for ensuring that development team made rapid progress in delivering the POC on time that gave the client confidence in our ability to deliver the final solution.
• I was awarded 'Employee of the Month' for my role in the Nukore JEDI project. This was a motivation for the entire team to do well going forward considering the tight deadlines associated with this project and by the end of the project 2 other team members had been recognized similarly for their contributions to the project.

We developed a J2EE BPM platform to pass and process XML messages conforming to the GJ XML Standards between disparate legacy systems for the various federal and state government's law enforcement agencies like police departments, justice departments, enforcement agencies, correction facilities etc. in the United States. The XML messages were received into the system using a set of pluggable adapters following which they were analyzed and routed to the services as per pre-defined rules that were evaluated by a custom rule engine for that type of message. The messages were then passed onto to the outgoing adapters that interfaced with the external systems. This product was built as a combination of different pluggable services that followed the SOA paradigm, wherein these services can work individually as well as in conjunction with each other. The UI has been made using JSF and the backend Engine has been created using technologies like EJB3.0, JAXB, JBoss cache, Java 5,

Technologies used: EJB3.0, JAXB, Jboss4.0, SOAP, JSF, XML Beans, Timer Beans, Messaging Beans, Entity Beans, Stateless session beans, Oracle 10g.

This project involved mapping a storage yard using a GPS device connected to a laptop placed on a vehicle. This software will be used by storage yards to grid and name their yards based on their unique latitude and longitude for easy retrieval of storage containers placed at these locations. The co-ordinates would be captured while the storage containers were stored in that location and would be given a unique name for identification. When the containers were to be retrieved the application would be searched to retrieve the location on the map. The UI of this product was designed in Flash and data from the GPS device was fed to the Flash Application using java's comm. API. The map was saved in XML format using JAVA. These locations can then be searched to identify their location within the storage yards during retrieval of the storage containers. At close of business each day a data synchronization module was run to push the data from the individual units to the main server.

Technologies used: Java comm. API, Core Java, XML, Macromedia Flash, Flash ORB server.

• This was a maintenance/enhancement project for a Gas billing company that had a billing system designed in Spring, Hibernate, Core Java and MySQL. This product had the ability to create new accounts locations, setup billing information and then generate bills and usage reports when requested or at the end of the billing cycle. Spring MVC was used to manage the application flow and Hibernate was used as the OR Layer. The reports and statements were generated and saved to the individual folders of the accounts and printed out as part of a batch process. There was also an archival module that archived older bills reports to a secondary storage.
• Led the development team that was involved in taking ownership of the product in order to undertake future maintenance and enhancements from offshore.

Responsibilities:

I was actively involved in Developing an intranet portal using uPortal for the Department for Homeland Security's Naval Postgraduate School and went onsite as part of the implementation of Phase 1 of the engagement. I coded portlets for uPortal using Java, XML, XSL, Tomcat server, and SQL server database. I also worked on a project for Sun Microsystems's sales department as part of which I coded modules using JSP, Oracle 8i, EJB, Java Beans, HTML and Javascript. I designed, developed and delivered solutions in time critical projects like Sun, uPortal and Darkside to the organization's and client's utmost satisfaction. I also came up with high and low level designs in my role as Technical Architect and used UML diagrams extensively to document system artifacts.

Accomplishments:

• As part of the implementation of the uPortal at the Naval Postgraduate School in California, helped troubleshoot and resolved an implementation issue onsite that was causing the server to shutdown every 4-6 hours. This issue had the potential to be a deal breaker for the second phase but was resolved to everyone's utmost satisfaction in time.
• Came up with the idea to create a caching service for the Darkside project that could cache the profile information of the escorts and not retrieve it for each request, which was a resource intensive operation. The caching tier was tied to the database so that whenever any profile was updated the caching service would be triggered and regenerate the cache for the impacted profile and ensure that it would always stay current. This feature was a major performance boost and one of the key features of this project that the client was impressed with.

The aim of this project was to create Nextbrick's own Content Management System. It was not be a fully homegrown CMS but based on openCMS, which is an open sourced product. We used 65 of openCMS features and built on top of it to customize it to give it more functionality. This product was being marketed by the Nextbrick sales team in the US as a cost effective alternative to its more expensive counterparts like Vignette, Interwoven, Plumtree etc.

Technologies used: JSP, Java Beans, MySQL.

Responsibilities:

I held discussions with the project stakeholders to understand requirements and translated them into system requirements/specs. I mostly worked as a software developer developing dynamic content for web pages using Servlets and HTML and attended business and top-level management meeting between the client and Mindshaper technologies as its technical representative.

Accomplishments

• I was the sole developer involved in developing an online Math Examination tool for Doon School and this was the first project that was implemented in Doon School and was actually used by a class of 40 on the day of the implementation and it came out with flying colors and the client was very impressed with it. Back at the development center I was requested to do a walkthrough by the CTO of the development and testing methodology undertaken that resulted in a bug free and highly impressive marketable product.
• I was again actively involved in synchronizing the data on the Doon School Database server with our database server on the Internet that would allow the parents of the wards in viewing the Report Cards and Progress reports online. The fact that this was one of the most prestigious reputable schools in India and hence most of the parents were high net worth individuals, there was no scope for any error. This was something that was never done for any other school since they were already writing to the Database on the Internet but for Doon School this decision was made at a much later stage and we had to come up with a unique ingenious XML based solution to accomplish this. This initiative was also a resounding success that further gave our reputation a boost with the client.
