SENIOR SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT - CONSULTANT

Responsibilities:

• As the books and records for front-office equity trading, it is the foundation that enables Unity Trade Data Compliance and Datamart.
• Led the architecture and design for the UnityPortal application. Provided technical leadership and expertise to various BAML team members both onshore and offshore. Daily scrum meetings with team onshore/offshore for the variety of JIRA items in the project timeline.
• Recommended new technologies and tools to support Java architecture such as CA Siteminder for single sign on (SSO), the Bank’s GMRT Entitlement Service (GES) for handling user Entitlements and the VIP/WIP load-balancers from the F5 Networks.
• Designed and developed the UnityPortal application which was envisioned to be one stop shop for all the various unity applications such as OrderTicket, Order Audit Trail System (OATS) generation and validation, FIX message certification. Https user request for UnityPortal propagates through the WIP load balancer that is mapped to the Apaches running on secured port 443 in Production/DR. Load Balancer uses RoundRobin strategy between Production and DR. From there, the users logging into UnityPortal were authenticated with SSO/Siteminder login page. After authentication, Apache communicated with Tomcat thru MOD JK running as redundant cluster pool members for failover. UnityPortal application was comprised of EXT-JS in the front end using MVVM architecture wired with core Java components in the back end running on Unix platform. User Entitlements for the UnityPortal to handle business logic for roles/groups/permissions were held in GMRT Entitlement Service (GES).
• On-boarded the BTR Unity Act Reporting application to comply with bank standard. The roles/groups permissions for this application were stored in a DB so it needs to be in Centralized Secure DataBase (CSDB). Created a process and wrote perl shell script to sftp the data to CSDB as a daily nightly feed running as an Autosys job.

SENIOR APPLICATION ARCHITECT - CONSULTANT

Responsibilities:

• Led the architecting and re-engineering of the TORO application.
• Provided technical leadership and expertise to various BAML team members both onshore and offshore.
• Daily scrum meetings with teams onshore/offshore for the variety of JIRA items in the project timeline.
• Developed project roadmaps for multiple teams within FOOTC aside from TORO such as TML/Consensys and EMIR.
• Evaluate current or emerging technologies to consider monetary factors of java program.
• Recommended new technologies and tools to support architecture such as JBOSS for handling two-phase commit, Mule Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for integrating platforms and QuickFix/J for handling real-time electronic exchange of securities transactions.
• Re-designed and developed the TORO application to run on Tomcat and JBOSS. Currently, the application is a single monolithic war file and is using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) framework. Reengineered the application so the first step taken is to decompose the UI into multiple war files which can be deployed independently of one another and easier for code maintainability. The Application is also being migrated from Rational Application Developer (RAD)/Websphere based to open source with Eclipse/Tomcat based on a Linux platform. Infrastructure architecture diagrams are produced using Powerpoint and Visio and shared with key stakeholders.
• An infrastructure guide specifies details of all the tools/technologies that will be used for supporting the re-engineering phase and other new initiatives.
• Centralized build and deployment process is initiated on the linux platform.
• A major enhancement for TORO is the connectivity to CASHMAN application via FTP feed is retired and reengineered to use WebSphere MQ which is managed by Jboss.
• Prototyped development for sending and receiving MQ messages to Cashman through Mule deployed war file onto the Jboss application server.
• Other enhancements for TORO are the removal of EJBs and replacement with Spring beans essentially changing the JNDI lookup with inversion of control (IOC).
• Assisted team member with implementing FIX Protocol for Futures & Options using QuickFIX Open Source Protocol.

MDBs were used for communicating with an external system by sending/receiving messages for bid award notifications (EDI 845), loading Chargeback requests and Chargeback resubmissions (EDI 844), sending chargeback reconciliations (EDI 849). Session beans handled the business logic of the chargebacks, reconciliations.
• Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) helped to connect modeln with external applications.

• Designed and developed the Benefits Management Systems (BMS) application. It is a web based application to address enrollment, establish, verify, calculate and report eligibility status, administration and directing of remittances and contributions, calculation and payment of pension and annuity retirement benefits.
• The BMS application is built using the Struts MVC framework along with Spring-managed Struts actions by using the DelegatingActionProxy. The Struts actions are injected with the Service objects which are then further injected with the DAO objects to access the database. The database residing in the backend is DB2. Transactions are handled by the spring container using annotations in the service layer. Hibernate is used for the java class table mapping relationships. The form validation is handled by the Struts validation framework using regular expressions. Apache FOP framework is used to transform the XSL-FO stylesheets into PDF.
