Senior Architect performing requirements analysis and design for home energy management solution using Java 6 EE, Ajax, JSF, RBAC on Linux.

In this short-term contract, I wrote a 48-page document including use cases, functional requirements, data requirements, and high-level design for a home energy management web server. The target is a first production version of the home energy management server, which supports both web and mobile clients, and manages customer-site home energy controller installations. The initial target user base is several hundred, scaling up to a million plus clients per web server deployment, and key architectural goals include flexible scalability and high availability. Target technologies include Java 6 EE, JSF, Ajax, JCA, RBAC, REST, GlassFish.

• Senior Developer for suite of financial analytics applications in Java, using JDBC, JMS/ActiveMQ, Swing, XML, Hibernate on Linux, Solaris, AIX, MS Windows Server.
• This project resulted in a new, Java production version of the OnQ call center software product, part of ALI's industry-leading suite of financial credit- and risk-management applications. A critical task I performed on this project was performance metering and revising the messaging architecture, greatly reducing message volume to enable scaling up to millions of accounts, and hundreds of thousands of transactions per hour.
• Another critical task I performed was replacing the use of Hibernate with a direct JDBC database framework, to support high transaction volume and to enable visibility of database operations for batch transaction management, debugging and performance tuning. I also did extensive analysis of the entire application GUI, working with product management and other stakeholders, revising the GUI architecture to streamline user tasks and reduce overhead. Technologies included JMS, ActiveMQ, Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, DB2, Hibernate, JProfiler, CORBA, Eclipse, Subversion/Subclipse.

• Senior Consultant in lead role for semiconductor manufacturing Statistical Process Control SPC , using Java J2EE Servlets, XMLC, JSP , Swing, Oracle, Tomcat on Windows, HPUX, and Linux. Designed / developed major features, including browser- and Swing-based UI components. Tuned for high performance. Developed CORBA API with configurable error handling, including automatic retry, for invoking IBM SiView MES.
• This long-term project was a production-critical, real-time semiconductor manufacturing Statistical Process Control SPC application, handling hundreds of transactions per second with high data volumes to keep pace with production equipment. The SPC system receives reports from the factory floor, stores and processes the data, applies statistical rules to identify anomalies, and takes specified actions when a problem is detected.
• My initial responsibilities included substantial upgrades of the interactive charting UI to support enhanced data views and new features, adding tabular detail views and controls, and working closely with end users to diagnose and fix problems. End user volume is in the hundreds, and the primary load on the system is from automated factory floor reports, and responding to those reports appropriately, as described above.
• In the middle stage of the project, I was responsible for designing a major upgrade of the system to integrate with a new MES for 300 MM processing. This involved redesigning for a new CORBA API, and reworking the entire MES interface to enable flexible specification of MES interactions, anticipating the need for future compatibility with other MES software. At the same time we changed to using MQ Series messaging as the primary medium of exchange between the factory floor equipment and our software.
• In the latter stages of my work on the project, I played a key role in the collaborative design and rework of the core SPC data model. One of the most difficult challenges in the SPC application is coordinating input data reported by a variety of different factory equipment at varying granularity in multiple formats, and making proper use of the complete data set to determine appropriate action. The redesign and implementation of the core data model led to the need for extensive automated testing, using a test framework simulating factory operation by running historical factory data through the system and comparing results.
• Technologies included J2EE, XMLC, JSP, XSLT, SOAP, WSDL, Swing, Oracle, Tomcat, CORBA, IBM MQ Series, IBM SiView, JBuilder, Eclipse, CVS.

• Senior Architect and UI Team Manager for J2EE Business Modeling Framework for business process automation, using Java J2EE EJB, Servlets, JSP , UML, WebLogic Application Server, MS SQL Server, TOPLink, Struts. Lead UI analysis and design, developed core of Java 2 Swing-based workbench for visual modeling of automated business processes. Interviewed and hired software developers, supervised GUI development process and schedules. Developed, tuned EJB infrastructure. Mentored technical staff on UML OOA D, design patterns, VisualAge for Java, Envy, Perforce.
• My initial tasks involved getting the first generation production web server to work, using J2EE EJBs and BEA Weblogic Server with TOPLink mapping to an Oracle database. I accomplished this in the first two months of the project, meeting specific performance goals on time. A substantial part of my role throughout was collaborating with the other two lead architects on high-level design, and implementation strategies.
• Once the initial product was successfully deployed, I moved into a lead role in GUI design and development. Leading a team of 3-4 developers, I specified the high-level design of the company's Business Modeling Workbench, used to develop executable business process models. In this role, I was consistently successful in directing the team to meet scheduled Agile development milestones, delivering monthly software versions.
