PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Lead Software engineer

Responsibilities:

• Quickly learn how the application works from an end user point of view.
• Starting with main UI window examine/trace the code for each business function in the application from beginning to end including data structures, logic, and statically stored values for each function rewrite in pseudo code detailed code and algorithms.
• I produced, from data mining, instantiated objects as well as existing accounts information in the application (Gemstone is both a data base and business logic holder).

Confidential

OOAP architect/Team lead

Responsibilities:

• Worked on Enhancing/upgrading Confidential Transaction processing application.
• This application processes gift and prepaid cards from different producers.
• Transaction processing speed is paramount to the business operation.
• Delays in daily processing and reconciliation impacts bank transfers and payment scheduling to both corporation and franchisees which accept those cards.
• Those delays can translate into fines and deductions in payments.
• I designed and created, utilizing OO/UML Architecture and event driven techniques in Visualage Confidential
• Confidential is an Object-Oriented development platform to design OO event driven applications utilizing MVC paradigm/architecture) new functionality to accommodate special customer card needs (special discounts or buy 9 get 10the free) as well re-design some aspects of the application along with code refactoring which made transactions processing significantly faster. In addition, I built new multi-language web interfaces for subscribing franchisees.
• That allowed franchisees to view detailed transactions at their locations as well as update their information directly online.

OOAP team lead/Senior application architect-developer

Responsibilities:

• I created architecture artifacts such as class, sequence, and object interaction diagrams.
• Once approved I solo built an add on tool/subsystem for the Regulations/coverage models with Visualage Confidential .
• This allowed non-technical business users to add government regulation and business changes functionality to the application by themselves. i.e. ad code modifications without writing code as well as keep history track of each individual contribution so that a number of people can work on the same task without confusing/losing each other’s work.
• This reduced the time it took to make a regulatory or business change in the application from 3-4 weeks to 2-3 days.
• In addition, it helped keep business modifications more accurate from one business user to another and the whole process less prone to error.

Technical Environment: Windows, RUP, UML, OOA, VisualAge Confidential 8.0.

OOAP Lead Architect/lead Developer

Responsibilities:

• My team and I converted the application from Visualage 7.0 for windows XP using PCOM to Visualage 8.5 for windows 7 using web services. In the process we created a new and better architecture, better and leaner code modules which made processing greatly faster than its predecessor.
• In addition, we fixed existing defects in production as well as make enhancements. Bi-weekly builds are made of the system.
• Interaction with business users is done on a regular basis to insure satisfaction with application.
• Stake holders are present in meetings. Requirements are built incrementally to satisfy business needs.

Application Architect/Lead Confidential Developer

Responsibilities:

• I designed and built new functionality, modify existing functions and fix defects Qwest’s Commercial DSL Order Management system (integrator).
• This is a larger scale enterprise system.
• Orders are received from a TIBCO bus as an XML document.
• The system parses the XML and creates request messages and other objects to implement the order transaction based on a number of validation rules.
• Each type of order is processed based on the data/rules associated with it. The data/rule are coded in specialized hierarchies with polymorphic reimplementation of the protocols.
• An order then either succeeds or goes to fallout which then is processed manually thru the application GUI. Daily build is made of the system.
• Interaction with business users is done on a regular basis. Stake holders are present in all daily meetings.
• Requirements are built incrementally to satisfy business needs.
• After QA/business signs off on a milestone delivery, new requirements then are assigned to developers… and so on.
• Produced updated project documents and status reports for each task in progress.

Confidential, Los Angeles, CA

Team Lead / Senior architect, Visualage developer

Responsibilities:

• Participated in full life cycle development.
• Lead meetings with user groups to establish requirements.

• The file is read into a DB2 database. Parts are ordered by Confidential and Lexus dealerships from the company's satellite distribution centers throughout North America.
• The system is utilized to manage all aspects of the part during its life time.
• One important function is to set part pricing (as they change from time to time), part substitution (e.g. when a dealer calls for a 2002 Camry water pump which the distribution center does not have. The system suggests a water pump from another model and year that is an acceptable substitution).
• Once design documents were completed construction began using VisualAge Confidential .
