PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Sr. Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Developed a new Java application, “Passenger Adapter”, which produces flight passenger data for an auditing system. This application retrieves passenger data from Amadeus via a RESTful Web Service and produces flat files that contains passenger counts of different types. Developed using Java 8, Spring, JMX and the BeanIO open source Java framework. As part of research for this project, I used the Amadeus Web Services Portal to view available services and to learn which service(s) provided the data that was needed. Developed unit tests, utilizing JUnit and Mockito. Designed and developed an integration test structure that features a “plug and play” model - meaning no coding is required to add and execute a new integration test - just add a set of files.
• Developed a logger manager which provides the following operations via JMX: view all loggers, search for a logger, get log level of a specified logger, and change log level for a specified logger.
• Developed a new RESTful Web Service, “Published Schedule Adapter”, which is part of a suite of applications used for auditing. This application receives notification of a newly available SSIM (Standard Schedules Information Manual) file via JMS (EMS), accesses the file, and parses it to retrieve the published schedule for a given date. Implemented using Java 8, Spring OXM, JMS, JAX-RS and JMX. Developed unit tests and integration tests using JUnit, Mockito and mountebank (mountebank used when executing in Jenkins).
• Developed automated acceptance tests for a Java application, making use of the Gradle cargo plugin, which allowed me to deploy and run multiple applications (sub-projects in a multi-project build) on one dynamically-created local Tomcat container during the build process. I created a job in Jenkins to run these automated acceptance tests as part of a Pipeline that I also created.
• Updated an existing Java application to retrieve International Air Transport Association (IATA) messages from a new EMS queue, transform the message and send the transformed message to a new MQ queue to be consumed by an external vendor.
• Developed a new RESTful Web Service, “Outbound Gateway Service”, employing Java 8, Spring JMS, JAX-RS and JAXB. This application is part of an in-flight entertainment connectivity (Wi-Fi) solution to improve the in-flight customer experience and increase flexibility for the business. It retrieves JMS messages from a queue, transforms the message into an IATA-formatted message and sends the transformed aircraft movement message to the Wi-Fi vendor via a Web Service call.
• Enhanced, upgraded, maintain and support CORBA-based applications
• Create jobs in Jenkins automation server (build jobs, pipelines, radiators)
• Provide application support to internal clients and external clients; production support
• Communicate with external clients
• Integration testing with external clients
• Collaborate with Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers
• Participate in QA and Production deployments (from planning/preparation to implementation and validation)
• Created component diagrams, flow diagrams, class diagrams and sequence diagrams.
• Created a shell script to build and deploy multiple legacy applications using one Linux command, which saves time by reducing the number of manual steps that were needed for each application. This script allows the user to build (or build & deploy) any number of applications provided as arguments, or all applications (that were developed under an “umbrella”).
• Created very detailed project-related and application-specific documentation using Confluence. Also used Confluence to document research and to document a repeatable process to deploy and run a new application (from server setup to starting the application after it’s deployed).
• Created onboarding/”workstation setup” document and Confluence page for developers.
• Assist team members with onboarding and workstation setup for development environment.
• Environments: Java 8, SQL, RESTful Web Services, Spring, JMS, ActiveMQ, Tibco EMS, MQ, JUnit, Mockito, Hamcrest, Oracle, InfraRed360, Maven, Gradle, Git, GitBash, Stash, Bitbucket, Jenkins, SonarQube, Tomcat (versions 7 and 8), CORBA, Jira, ClearCase, SVN, BuildForge, Nexus, Transactional Business Service (TBS), Agile, Scrum
