Synopsis:

• My Job is to develop and architect the firmware and software the following requirements
• To develop the firmware for the New Bulk cash / check / mixed cash check depositor hardware called for Enhanced Note Acceptor ENA and Bulk Document Intelligent Depository Module IDMBD for Diebold. This new hardware and software combined should act as a plug play type of system. If the new hardware is plugged-in in old software then then the old system should raise an error stating the unknown type system plugged-in.
• To design and develop the new UI using UX principles 1st develop a framework which will act as a universal plug play system, meaning the workflow will change / customizable as per particular customer specification. Hence this framework is capable of changing the behavior if we modify the XML based configuration file and deploy the new/changed .NET dll s . This is developed in .Net 4.0 using .NET's reflection technology on Windows 8/7 to be PCI Compliant . This new framework is going to give an edge to Diebold to extend/handle any future enhanced/customization requirements very easily.
• Develop an application which delivers the Hybrid DA Deposit Automation feature, which allows the ATM application to use an advanced check and cash depository modules but emulates an envelope deposit transaction to the transaction host that does not support the advanced devices in its load. The application also delivers a Stateless solution which allows the ATMs to do away with the legacy way of performing transactions and the host does not have to send down states and screens messages to the ATM. These features are implemented in two ways. Through new activities and through extending base activities. Activities are modules of code that have a specific purpose. These Activities are then utilized as part of a scenario and ultimately the entire flow of the ATMs possible transactions.
• With this development work Diebold Inc. to be a leader in the bulk cash / check processing via an ATM and do most of the teller's job, which currently none of the ATMs are capable of. My job is to give them robust design and workable solution with the above stated requirements.
• Currently I'm acting as an architect / team lead with a team of 10 on-site developer and 5 offshore testers. 80 of efforts go in coding and software development and 20 goes in management.

Technologies Used:

The firmware is developed in C and Keil's RTX RTOS using Keil's MDK-Professional tool for Vision IDE. Version control tools used in are ClearCase and ClearQuest for code and defect management. For UI development Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 OS to be PCI Compliant .

Synopsis:

• My Job is to own the development of Intrepid for Pipeline product suit on an overall product level. On a day to day basis work on customizing this product for a particular customer.
• For Pacific Gas and Electric Company PG E customer I customize the compete Intrepid and integrated it with their SAP ERP system Systems Application Programming for Enterprise Resource Planning system using SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol technology. The SOAP is implemented using C .NET REST Representational state transfer web service acting as a bridge between SAP ERP system and the Intrepid . Also helped C C to get this PG E specific implementation to be merged into their main code base as feature so generic in nature which can be customize for any other customer.
• Developed a web based interface using Silverlight technology as currently ESRI GIS technology is only on Silverlight in future ESRI going to release a HTML 5 based library, then this implementation will change . This is a lightweight web based UI helped the customer to view their own defined GIS system on a laptop when user is on a field inspection or so. Backend processing of the UI was developed using C .NET REST web service to process all the incoming user requests via Silverlight system and sends back the responses.
• Developed an iPad's Mobile workable prototype application using ESRI's ArcPad, iOS library and C .NET REST web service for backend processing. Here we reused the same web service we developed in the Silverlight project. Hence maximum efforts went into iPad's Mobile application development.
• Also, helped the organization to implement the RQM and RTC for complete Application Lifecycle Management.
• Acted as a team lead to handle the distributed team of 10 members out of which 3 were at PG E California. One was at Main, New Hampshire, 3 at Plymouth office and 3 were at Norwell office with me. 60 of the efforts go in development and 40 goes in team coordination and management.
