Confidential, Windsor, CT

Java Architect/Developer

Responsibilities:

• Architected, developed and implemented a mission-critical multi-threaded Java application which spawned simultaneous processes generating outbound and receiving inbound MQ messages to/from multiple locations.

• On the inbound side the application polled the incoming queues and updated the appropriate database tables based on the payload.
• In consideration of peak hour volume requirements and concurrency issues the processes were designed to be configurable so that an optimal number of messages to be processed could be specified at run time for each iteration to streamline the data flow.

Confidential, Bloomfield, CT

Java Developer

Responsibilities:

• Participated in the architecture and development of the client’s implementation of a new web-based Interactive Voice Response (IVR) application.
• The application provided a mechanism for the internal users to validate the outgoing responses generated by the incoming calls to Confidential ’s automated number (250,000+ calls a day) before it got transformed from data to voice to be heard by the caller.
• It also allowed quick simulation of test data.
• The architecture was based on translating the response Java objects (result beans) into xml and presenting the xml either on web pages or RTF /PDF documents via generalized dynamic form/document construction.
• This was made possible with one single generic JSP and struts action class working in conjunction with XSL style sheets.
• The transformation of xml to html on the web page took place on the browser while the rendering to RTF/PDF occurred on a java class utilizing XSTREAM and FOP.

Confidential, Simsbury, CT

Java Developer

Responsibilities:

• Participated in the architecture and development of the client’s implementation of a new web-based online enrollment application for the Group Benefits Division.
• Built a number of critical components including a census import/export facility and a pre-enrollment package generation utility.
• The import facility allowed internal users in the enrollment unit to access an excel spread sheet in the same physical storage location in Network Attached Storage (NAS) regardless of what operating system the online environment app was running under.
• The census data on the spread sheet could be in any order and could have any column headings.
• For each column on the spread sheet the user was given an opportunity to select from a drop down the target database column to map to.
• Java Transaction API (JTA) was used to enforce logical unit of work at the participant level (bean managed as opposed to container-managed persistence) so that in the case of an error all updates to various tables related to the participant could be rolled-back.
• Asynchronized the process by developing message driven beans and configuring the WebLogic application server.
• JexcelAPI and JXL were used to parse and manipulate the contents of excel cells thru POI/HSSF methods.
• The successful import also included an encrypted password for the participant to be written to the database and an unencrypted password along with a generated id to be written to LDAP to allow subsequent individual online environment. The export facility was essentially the reverse process which allowed the user to export census data into a spread sheet under NAS regardless of operating system.
• The same Java/Excel interfaces were used and Blaze Advisor was called to provide some of the final census statistics.
• The pre-enrollment package generation utility incorporated Java, XML, XSL-FO and JMS technologies.
• This utility allowed an internal user to initiate an asynchronous process, made possible by JMS, whereby data was extracted into a set of XML documents and formatted based on XSL-FO style sheets, to be rendered in RTF, PDF, Microsoft Word and other formats.
