PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Solutions Architect

Confidential, Philadelphia, PA

Responsibilities:

• Software Plan Review Application - analyzed, re-architected, and implemented a POC design to replace an existing thick-client application with a cloud-based, domain driven, event sourced, CQRS, micro-services architecture for tracking and monitoring SMP (Stormwater Management Practices) systems.
• Solutions were presented for both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) to identify the trade-offs between using an open-source Private Cloud (PCF) or Virtual Private Cloud (AWS) solution.
• Deliverables included POCs for each model, requirements and design documentation, and identification of a suitable CI/CD tool suite for each case. ( Angular 4, Java, Spring Boot, MongoDB, AWS, PCF, Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, Jenkins, JIRA, GIT, ArcGIS )

Architect and Lead Developer

Confidential, Cherry Hill, NJ

Responsibilities:

• OCIRIS - Copyright Infringement Correlation and Notification Manager - re-platformed an existing system to a cloud-based, domain driven (CQRS) micro-services architecture used to track and correlate DMCA copyright violations.
• OCIRIS was designed to handle 100k+ violation events on a daily basis, providing escalated user notifications to subscribers based on the type and frequency of occurrence, and resulting in automated service termination for extreme cases.
• Responsibilities included identifying performance issues with the existing system and designing a replacement event-driven micro-services architecture.
• The new system replaced an existing JSP/JBOSS design by utilizing Angular2, Spring Boot/Security/Batch with REST Services, JPA, MySQL, Kafka, all hosted on a Pivotal Cloud Foundry system.
• Additional responsibilities included development of user stories, training, mentoring, planning, and leading Sprints for a team of four developers and two testers.
• Significant DevOps exposure on this assignment with an opportunity to explore related tools. ( Agile, Angular2, HTML, PCF, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Tomcat, JBOSS, Docker, Jenkins, MySQL, SOAP/XML Kafka, Maven, GIT, Rally, AWS, Event Sourcing, CQRS, DDD, Hadoop )

Architect and Lead Developer

Responsibilities:

• SAM- Surety Agency Manager - designed and developed a micro-services, domain driven, cloud-based Java system used to create and track Surety Bond information for a major insurance company.
• Initial duties included implementing an architectural framework using an Angular2 front-end and a back-end consisting of Spring Boot with REST Services, JPA, and MS-SQL.
• Approximately sixty endpoints were used to expose application functionality, with an additional set providing pass-through features for legacy access via Mule connectors.
• Later responsibilities included training, mentoring, planning, and conducting scrums for a team of five developers and three offshore testers.
• Worked closely with DevOps to improve deployment times. ( Agile, Angular2, HTML5, Spring Boot, Tomcat, Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF), Bamboo, Microsoft SQL, Mule, Maven, GIT, JIRA, DDD )

Responsibilities:

• WebModel - responsible for re-engineering a web-based application used in organizing and executing pharmaceutical models for cancer and other studies.
• The new event-driven architecture featured multi-engine selection capability along with a replacement core stack consisting of Gxt, Gwt, Spring, Active MQ and Java components.
• The underlying transport, GUI, and Business domain objects were redesigned in order to increase adaptability and correct deficiencies in the current design including security related cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
• The resulting changes improved performance by a factor of five, and resulted in a code base reduction of 50 percent.
• The changes to the underlying messaging and system state mechanism provided improved stability and user experience.
• Developed a separate test application using AngularJS and JAX-RS RESTful services in order to independently test the services API.
• Project Planning work included development of an annual software development plan for the project, and a series of presentations to upper level management to identify resource requirements and planned deliverables.
