System / Programmer Analyst

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with a team that consists of the Project Manger and three other developers to plan, design, and implement information systems. As well as to develop, implement, test, debug, and document various programming systems.

• Analyze business requirements and technical requirements into system specifications for the OSB Java web application.
• Design, develop and implement the OSB web applications (as well as new features and components) with Java JEE version 1.8. Used JEE to develop all layers of the OSB application. JEE was used to develop the OSB application because it integrated well with Spring, Hibernate and Struts 2 and made it easy to develop MVC web applications which were robust and scalable. The OSB Java web application is a forms-based system with multi step business processes that connects to a transactional relational database (Oracle 12c RDBMS). Create and modify code/software for the OSB web application using Java 1.8, JSP, HTML, XML, XSD, and Spring 4.5 application framework on a Tomcat Application Server and UNIX operating system.
• Design, create, implement, and modify Java (EE) code following Object Oriented design principles, maintain project design structure in Presentation, Service and Database Interactive layers.

• Develop web application OSB using Hibernate for Object/Relational Mapping and database persistence. Hibernate was used for Object-Relational Mapping using the Entity annotation on the Business Object class with the table name and creating the table in Oracle 12c database, hibernate takes care of the mapping.
• Within/for the Oracle 12c RDBMS, use Hibernate to perform ORM and preserve data (i.e., ensure database persistence), and wrote SQL based queries/statements to perform CRUD operations (create/read/update/delete). Repositories and Query DSL are used for non-trivial queries.
• Develop web application OSB using the Spring framework version 4.5. Spring framework made it easy to develop web applications through container management and configuration of java objects. In the OSB application, Spring was used to configure and wire java objects.
• Follow the OSB project'sbusiness work flow while designing and designing the OSB application, which involved creating and modifying code, software, screens and reports in the development, testing and implementation of small computer systems, and sub-systems of the larger system.
• Presented software system related to information such as suitability of Activiti and Drools as process and rules engines to replace legacy proprietary process engine to end-users and technical colleagues. Confirmed and reviewed requirements, provided updates and discussed any issues or concerns.
