Data Architect of AFF2, Team Lead, Lead Developer

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the Data and Functional Architecture of the “Data Load and Transform” (DLT) subsystem of AFF2. The subsystem encompasses all data stores and associated processes - Meta Data Repository (MDR), Data Warehouse (DW), Spatial Database, and Oracle Endeca search index.
• Built a team of highly talented professionals for the development of the DLT subsystem and lead the team though all SDLC phases to the successful production rollout of the AFF2 system.
• Designed the AFF2 system domain model and the formal system interfaces. Designed the DLT subsystem functional architecture and metadata driven processes.
• Designed the logical and physical data models of the MDR and DW and implemented the physical data models on Oracle 11g.
• Designed and implemented Domain Specific Languages (DSL) for the definition of entities such as the Geo Combo Stub and the Search Navigation Wizard.
• Designed and implemented key components such as the geographic tree build component, the Geo Combo Stub DSL interpretation engine, and the geographic relationship build component
