Confidential, NYC

Senior Project Architect

Responsibilities:

• The 4-tier architecture consisted of 3 web sites
• The first site was the UI which passed typed structures to,
• The second website (middle-tier) Proxy class via .NET Remoting (HTTP/Binary).
• The proxy class in-turn created the local object to process the call.
• Performed business validation
• Packaged the data into a typed DataAccess structure and then forwarded this to,
• The third website (data access tier) Proxy class also via .NET Remoting (HTTP/Binary).
• This site hosts common components (DataAccess and Entitlement for application security) to be shared in the future by new applications developed by Pfizer.
• The proxy class in-turn created the local object to process ‘all’ database calls loaded in the passed structure.
• Propagating transactions from the third tier DataAccess component back to the middle-tier to control the transaction
• I assigned the task to another developer to research how to do this and received numerous articles stating it couldn’t be done. Knowing this is a common practice in large transactional sites with disparate systems I researched it and in less than a week incorporated the MSDTC TIP (Transaction Internet Protocol) for the two phase committing of transactions crossing websites.
• The application consisted of:
• Common structures passed between tiers.
• Type definition libraries (metadata) for reference between tiers.
• Interfaces to proxy classes as entry points into a tier.
• Interfaces on the business classes.
• Typed datasets for storage of common data.
• Stored procedure definitions in xml for common loading of data access objects eliminating redundant coding.
• UI controls for loading common data on different pages.
• A UI PageBase class for inheriting in all UI pages to handle common events and methods required on all pages in both the FASST Alignment and Bonus modules.
• A data agnostic data access component to handle any database (Oracle, SQL Server or any other) and all database calls (inline SQL statements or stored procedures) together in a single call to the component.
• Redeveloped the first phase of the site (read-only data) in four months.
• Then added the ability to update the data with new modules, and wizards.
• I estimated the work at eight months without testing - we only had four months for development and testing.
• I doubled the team and in Pfizer’s words “we pulled off the impossible” delivering to production the application on time.
• As a result of this success we were given the opportunity to bid on the time to develop the next project (Bonus module).
• ZS Associates was originally acquired to develop it.
• We won the bid based on the past development success and again delivered the whole application, on time, by the due date of June 5, 2005.
• Managing SharePoint for Application Documents
• Managing Application Builds, QA, UAT, Production
• Performing Developer Code Reviews
• Define code standards and specifications
• Initially designed as an SOA application, but time constraints and integration in the global SOA put a damper on the architecture. So I architected the system so that it could later be incorporated into Pfizer’s SOA with minimal configuration and modifications.
• Provided strong mentoring to team members into an OO architecture that they were not familiar with through a simple duplicate-able cookie-cutter approach.
• Managed change management for new criteria and defect fixes.
