Confidential, VA

Responsibilities:

• As a Software Consultant, was involved in teh requirement analysis, OO design, development, system/UAT testing, production support of a multi-threaded 3-tier Network Inventory System (NIS). Teh web application enables a centralized topology database, through which automated data collection, interactive queries and exception reports were extracted. Teh application was also used to provide real-time network inventory information to teh other teh systems which was made possible through CORBA interface connections. Teh 3 layers are teh GUI, teh Business and teh Database layers, which were all multi-threaded. Teh GUI was developed using Java through Visual Café tool on windows and was interfaced with back-end Business layer and dis in-turn interfaced with teh database layer in HP UNIX. Teh business and database layers were developed in C++ and supporting tools like RogueWave libraries like Tools.h, DBTools.h and DBFactory. Teh database connections has been based-on pool of connections using round-robin technique for load-balancing. Had written multiple CORBA IDLs to interface with multiple systems and multiple language environment like Java and C++.

• Teh NIS application was supported by recursive makefiles and logging message system - which was developed using shared memory so that, multiple processes can attach to one piece of shared memory and log messages that can be viewed by multiple developers/testers simultaneously, while teh application is running. Semaphores were used for concurrency-control of teh shared-memory.
• Involved in gathering requirements by talking to teh customers. Acquired enough telecom noledge related to switches, trunks, ports, etc.
• Involved in teh Data-Modeling of teh Relational Databases of teh System using teh DB Design tool and Object-Modeling of teh system in teh distributed development environment (high-level & low-level), writing use-cases using Rational Software.
• Integration Testing/Production Support: Involved in analyzing and taking care of teh problem tickets and hot fixes like data problems. Used PVCS Tracker for logging in teh tickets. Involved in solving CORBA server problems.
