Principal Software Developer

Responsibilities:

• As one of the senior members of the team, my role is to provide technical guidance, development and direction forward with the Hardware Support Automation Team. My development task includes developing enhancements and bug fixes of the Java/J2EE based application. Due to the age of the application, I work with leadership on strategies for modernization of the code such as conversion from SOAP based web services to REST services. Implementation of a corporate single sign on using SAML. These efforts also require introducing modern Java base frameworks like Spring IO, Spring Security and others.
• The other project modernization I’ve worked on to implement an SSO (Single-Sign On) solution between the corporate Oracle IAM system and the legacy frontend application. We created a landing UI for SSO login authentication using Spring Security to manage the SAML token for legacy web application. This required a retrofitting of the Spring Security framework on top of the legacy application.

Application Architect

Responsibilities:

• As a consultant, I worked with a team of business analyst to create a remediation plan to bring all high-risk computerized systems into compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Title 21 CFR Part 11. This specifies the criteria for using electronic signatures and electronic records as an equivalent to full handwritten signatures, initials and other general signings as required by FDA regulations.
• To accomplish this, we were task to acquire enough information to define and prioritize the all projects. Moreover, consolidate the purposed action plans from across the division to identify similarities, such as manufacturing systems, laboratory system, environmental system and others to produce cost break down reports comparing each system category to the number of these systems and their compliance risk rating. From this consolidation of information, we were able to identify systems that could benefit from the same remediation plan, which would reduce the purposed remediation cost for year 2002.

Team Lead

Responsibilities:

• As a consultant, I have participated in the architecture, design, prototyping, and development of a J2EE, SMS (Short Message Service) and WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) based application for communication services to GSM wireless telephone subscribers. The intent of the application is to expand the corporate infrastructure to include mobile communication services, by providing email notifications, web-based instant messaging, and wireless telephone provisioning.
• During the design phase, I created UML diagrams (use case and class diagrams) that captured the business requirements. Moreover, these diagrams produced skeleton code structures that defined class and interface behaviors. These diagrams rolled into a architecture whitepaper that management published throughout the company.
• With the architecture in place, I led the prototype team with a purpose to prove business functionality, architecture, and development process. I created an iterative plan, which outlines the delivery dates versus business functionality. Using the same process as in the design phase, I produced a whitepaper that included use case and class diagrams that discussed the limited functionality and purpose of the prototype. Using Java, Java Servlets, JSP, XML, JNDI, and JavaMail, we produced an application, which retrieved email messages from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and forwarded the SMS formatted messages to the wireless telephone. Also, provide a web-based interface, through Tomcat on Linux, for sending instant messages by the same means. Once complete, management later submitted the documentation of the prototype to Siemens to be patent. With the effort complete, I did an assessment of the effort and produced documentation of findings, considerations, and evaluations.

Tanning Technology Corporation, Denver, CO

Technical Lead

Responsibilities:

• I performed as a consultant in architecture, design, and coding to assist with the design and development of application components for a J2EE B2B auction site. Based on distributed object architecture and clustered environments using BEA WebLogic Application Server, I created three components of the system built around Project Management, Document Management and Bidding. Using Rational Rose 2000, I created four UML models specifically for logical and component views of the design for the application. This framework included sub-models and APIs such as the Rose J-Enterprise model, BEA WebLogic API, and other third-party API's for Java Messaging Service, and Ariba MarketSuite. This provided the team with a way to develop components based on core API's and forward-engineer the component model into Java source code.
• Along with object modeling, I developed an integration strategy around the communication between our EJB components deployed on BEA WebLogic version 4.5.1 and 5.1 and the bidding engine within Ariba MarketSuite 1.5.1. Using a "Loose-coupled" approach, I developed a communications API that contained internal knowledge of MarketSuite such as the JNDI interface for connecting to its' application server and system configuration information. Moreover, the API contained operations to facilitate the marshalling of information between two Oracle databases used for the project: 1) StruXicon Project Management and Bidding Database and, 2) Ariba MarketSuite Database.
