EMPLOYMENT HISTORY AND PROJECTS:

Confidential, Trevose, PA

Sr. Software Developer

Responsibilities:

• Contributing to the enterprise core IT infrastructure based on Microsoft .NET (4.0, 4.5.1), C#, MS SQL Server (v. 2008 - 2012), NServiceBus, MSMQ, Asynchronous TCP Sockets, MS Entity Framework, MS Unity,Web services, Windows services, WinForm applications, integration with the third party tools and data etc.

Confidential, Langhorne, PA

Sr. Software Developer/Architect

Responsibilities:

• Designed and developed custom communication framework based on generalized web services, remoting hosts and message queue listeners, coupled with content-driven dispatchers to common-interface business agents. Later refactored the solution to take advantages of WCF platform using HTTP, TCP, IPC and MSMQ channels. Developed user-friendly wrappers for routing synchronous, one-way and asynchronous requests. The framework architecture provided total decoupling of the business agents and improved testability allowing dependency injection using the Service Locator pattern. Utilized WCF duplex channels for publish/subscribe communication pattern.
• Designed and implemented shared functional layers (ADO.NET provider-independent data access, integrated security provisions based on AD, exception handling and publishing, SMTP email automation, portal transaction logging to SQL data stores and MongoDB, symmetric and RSA cryptography for PCI compliance, custom serialization, XML, JSON, binary data transformation etc.)
• Automated application deployment using Click-Once or MSI packages with auto-registering of Windows services and GAC assemblies.
• Developed web portal services and business logic layer providing communication between the IVR telephony servers (Envox and FreeSwitch) and the back-end business logic and OLTP infrastructure.
• Segregated business rules from the mainstream business implementations for pricing and promotion campaigns. Developed plain English language-enabled rule authoring and management tools. Developed and maintained MS SQL Server backed rule-driven pricing engine with flexible plug-in evaluation and inference agents for various business acquisition and retention models.
• Designed and developed content service web portals (SOAP and REST) providing secure interactions with external content consumers and providers. Automated receiving and handling the web feeds using configurable singleton services for various providers with failover provisions.
• Extended content service portal to provide API for the third party mobile web applications. Re-used the same API to provide interactions with internal MVC-based applications.
• Developed numerous utilities for business processes automation, data visualization, unit-testing, quality assurance, deployment, configuration, version control logging, portal transactions monitoring, accounting helpers etc.
• Participated in the TFS-based continuous integration initiative.
• Contributed to resolving the front-end application responsiveness issues by optimizing the performance of the underlying business components using cached data repositories eliminating redundant roundtrips to the database and other sub-systems.
• Mentored junior developers and provided guidance to QA and non-technical personnel on specifics of software component usage and recommended practices. Actively participated in troubleshooting, defect identification, assignment, correction and release processes.
• Created and maintained thorough documentation of communication framework architecture, application and portal configurations, API descriptions, user manuals etc.
