PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Java Developer

Confidential, Atlanta, GA

Responsibilities:

• Worked with a small team of Senior Java developers on the design, architecture, and development of a lead submission web application (called LRS) and related SOA application (called LeadBus). LRS provided administrative functionality for managing users and core business entities, plus an administrative scripting tool which allowed access to deep application APIs via a web interface. The standard (non-administrative) interface allowed users to submit new leads and generate reports in browser or download as PDF, XLS, or CSV using Jasper Reports. Hibernate was used for persistence and Lucene for local indexing for faster searches. Dependencies were injected using Spring, plus Spring was used for validation and application configuration. LRS was deployed to Tomcat 5.x, running in BEA’s JRockit JRE (since acquired by Oracle), on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution. LeadBus was developed using Apache Camel. It transported data from LRS to an external sales CRM (Oracle On Demand) and then periodically checked for changes in status and data which needed to be pushed back to LRS. LRS and LeadBus communicated broker-to-broker with JMS and LeadBus communicated with Oracle On Demand using standard SOAP-based web services. Both applications were developed with heavy use of JUnit with JMock, using Agile Methodology, fully Mavenized, with Continuous Integration run with every checkin and every night.

• Developed and assisted in architecture of web-based sales, client-boarding, and CRM application in OracleAS Portal 10g. The application allowed Global Payments' sales and customer support groups to set up and manipulate all customer data related to credit card transaction processing. Developed custom role- and topic-based security Taglib module to implement field level security in user interface. Assisted with off-shore resource management by providing best-practice and application specific standards and examples. The application was written using Java 1.4 and based upon proprietary Oracle APIs, including an Oracle Struts derivative used for portlet development. A Spring-based rules engine was added to help centralize domain object validation.
