• Practiced Agile Extreme Programming methodology by emphasizing on JUnit tests and continuous integration and short build cycle.
• The services are architected as multi-layered (interface layer, business layer, and persistence layer) as in the sea and rail manifest project.
• Designed and developed Inbond services of the modernized Sea and Rail Manifest System for brokers to request movement of imported cargo under bond via US Customs Automatic Broker Interface (ABI). The service is architected with three layers: 1) interface layer; 2) business layer; and 3) persistence layer.
• The interface layer is consisted of session and message driven EJBs hooked up with Plain-Old-Java-Objects (POJO) in business layer by using Spring framework.
• The business layer implemented business rules without worrying about EJB plumbing and persistence details.
• And the persistence layer uses Hibernate to map Java objects to DB2 relational database tables.
• Held joint Design Sessions (JDS) with CBP domain experts to finalize requirements and define business rules for truck manifest system.
• Completed architecture, design, and service definitions.

Lead

Confidential, Sterling, VA

Responsibilities:

• Led a development team implemented the first voucher management system in the nation for the substance abuse and Access To Recovery (ATR) Federal funded program.

• A vehicle and personnel access control system based on RFID technology; and 2) IDTrack - An RFID based asset and inventory tracking system.

Sr. Architect

Confidential, Reston, VA

Responsibilities:

• Involved in the implementation of web portal for the Customs Modernization project.
• The portal allows Customs inspectors to inspect goods on vehicles crossing the border and allows trade community to communicate with Customs.
• It consists of Swing user interface for the border inspectors, and a web based portlet user interface for trade community and casual users.
• The Swing interface has a framework responsible for customized widgets, communication among screens, and communication between screens and data access layers.
• The portlet interface uses an enhanced Struts framework developed specifically for Customs project.
• Led the development of Intermec RFID reader Java driver, which consists of native C++ code talking with the reader and Java interface available to application developers; developed Symbol barcode reader Java driver via serial port; and led the integration of RFID and barcode readers with Java Swing and Portlet applications.
• Involved in Analyzing and Architecting a secure and large scale web-based application for US Customs to handle all transactions of millions of trucks in and out of each port along the Nation’s border. Specifically, worked with Enterprise Architecture team and proposed a modified architecture for the portal system.
• The original portal system was developed with portlets, a kind of servlets, which cannot handle native devices (such as RFID readers, barcode scanners, and SLIP printers used at customs primary booths) due to Java security model and performance requirements.
• The proposed architecture consists of Swing for heavy internal users and portlets for trade and casual users.
• It has been adopted by Customs in the Customs Modernization project.
