PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Piscataway, NJ and Warren, NJ

Third-party consultant

Responsibilities:

• Wrote a script to convert COBOL programs to OpenCobol. Using this script saved the company $1.2 million in licensing fees.
• Wrote a program that scans text files and outputs missing information. The program did a difficult task rather instantly and saved hours of manual work.
• Wrote shell scripts that gathered data from various computers and put them into a format for e-mailing.
• Filled data into spreadsheets that were later used in decision-making.

Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for requirements analysis, application design, coding, testing, and maintenance, including optimization of existing code.
• Programming was in C and C++ on Microsoft Windows. Used three-tier architecture, data structures, design patterns, serial communications, multi-threading, linear programming, linear algebra, and socket programming.
• At every tier, every application had a layered software design such as presentation layer, distributed access layer, business logic layer, data access layer. This would facilitate down the line replacing one layer with another; for example, one could replace the distributed access layer with another distributed access layer technology with great ease.
• Participated and contributed in meetings for release planning.
• Developed UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams.
