Architect/SOA Architect

Responsibilities:

• Define SOA based application architecture and create service choreography artefact
• Derived WSDL and schemas from the IDM Components and Service Interface definitions fromIBM IAA and IDM which are part of company business architecture.
• Contributed to Software Architecture Document for Predictive Underwriting Application.
• Attend and contribute to Architectural Assessments and Architectural decisions.
• Created Top down EJB SOA services using WSDL/XSDs for each service defined in service interface of respective component. The SOAP services were JMS transport based so as to support heterogeneous IMS systems using ESB/MQ Broker.
• Created Web Service clients and added a simplified interface that configures the client with ESB queues, queue factory and other service configurations.
• Implemented service message interceptors to help ESB in routing the messages to appropriate receiver.
• Re-factored existing J2EE code so as to support integration to new web service objects.
• Added handlers that will add ESB header on the soap message to help identify the destination.
• Created sophisticated harness tools for all the new services, so as to simplify utilization, availability, referencing and testing of these services.
• Some of the service interface implemented were Risk Analysis, Insurance Agreement Object Manager, Underwriting Management, etc. and the service operations were to determine policy summary, get billing data, get D B data, retrieve prediction modifier, etc.
• Applied WebSphere work manager solution, to run the independent commands in parallel leveragingWebSphere threads these commands were taking between 2-8 seconds and were running in series, this saved processing time by approx. 70 .
• Used Apache JCS to cache D B service response

Lead Developer

Responsibilities:

• Created IAA-XML framework that translates IAA-XML to Java based IAA-Command Message graph. Applications can use this framework to provide interoperability between Java Command Message objects IAA and IAA-XML. This is currently implemented using XStream, through an abstraction layer, to support future JAXB plug ability.
• Created Command Message Framework utilizing JMS/MDB, to support SOA services enabling command implementers to register them so that the framework could delegate respective IAA-XML command to them.
• JAXB/JAXP: Replaced XStream that was converting DnB service response to Java objects with J2EE standard JAXB coupled with JAXP.
• Refactored existing code using hibernate so that complete object graph for the policy gets saved and retrieved.
• Implemented BOP guidance/scoring modules that uses Deloitte engine.
• Added DAO layers in front of the hibernate implementations for DB2 interactions.
• Database Viewer This utility is mostly like a faster version of DBVisualizer. It provides, a subset of functions provided by DBVisualizer, an user interface where user can enter a table name to view this utility then displays all the columns of the entered table and DB2 operators e.g. ,, LIKE, NULL etc that can be used to easily create a condition. The utility then displays DB2 query and fetches record from the table using the query. This is a fast and easy way to enable a user to query a table at least for those not having DBVisualizer on their systems.
• Fixed defects related to scoring, guidance and commands.
