WORK EXPERIENCE:

Senior Software Engineer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Identified memory and performance issues in LRM and worked with a small team to identify places in the code for refactoring
• Reverse engineered Java code into UML diagrams using Visual Paradigm to better understand the various dependencies and plan parts of the code for refactoring
• Pulled various parts of the business logic away from the Struts 1 actions and JSPs and into more manageable POJO classes thus removing dependencies on these technologies
• Worked with team in identifying AngularJS as a new front-end architecture to replace the outdated Struts framework
• Added sorely needed unit and integration tests to minimize the chance of introducing bugs during refactoring
• Prototyped in the legacy code a RESTful batch processing system which was later extracted and rewritten as a micro-service using Spring Boot
• Standardized on the use of JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) as the means for validating users and securing REST endpoints of our micro-services
• Designed and built a RESTful micro-service for the creation, management and collection of Survey Assessments.
