Responsibilities:

• Responsible for all web based app and web developers. Contributing in defining skill requirements and helping team in hiring new people
• Member of committee which helps in defining hardware requirement for servers and future technology
• Evaluating and implementing new technologies for team
• Implemented first flex based application for team
• Introduction of flex/AIR as one client side technology. Successful POC is done for team so same component implemented in different technologies can be moved to one technology and multiple web app will have only one central app.
• Introduction of blazeds for faster data transfer
• Managed and Implemented critical application like review sheet, mvp and gne using Agile process.
• Responsible for managing conversion of web application from html, javascript, struts to flex, spring framework

Senior Consultant

• ICE Launch pad: ICE is the key product of HR team used by all HR persons across the globe. ICE Launch pad(in AIR) is central launch pad for all HR ice application. User will login once to access all the applications.
• ICE in AIR : ICE is made in .net. Many component used in ICE is used by other app. But other app is in flex / html javascript. To end multiple language coding and maintenance issue all the app are converted to AIR and flex. All the common component are developed as separate component. Business logic is on server side in java and communication take place using Blazeds. The project POC is done and is in implementation stage.
• Comp Hierarchy: Company hierarchy changes frequently. This change comes as a mail and developer write queries to change this. We have replaced this process by making small app in C# (.Net) where developer will make this changes using tree. Developer can move the hierarchy / changes the name / delete unwanted element in hierarchy and can save changes.
• Promo Eval: Promo Eval tool helps in evaluating performance of employee. It is webbased application. Front hand is in Flex, Server side is in Spring. Admin user can created dynamic forms using GUI builder (same as Flex builder made in Flex) and save the form. Admin will publish the form for set of users. When user logs in, depending on form published for user, user will see the respective form generated dynamically. Admin can create manager employee relation using same tool. Manager logs in and provide evaluation for respective employees.
• Review Sheet: Every year on communication day managers distribute the compensation to employees manually by taking print out. This year MS wants to change system to E System where the entire review sheet will be handed over by web site. User can see only their own and subordinate review sheet for whom, they are authorized. This system is very critical will have huge hit for couple of days and crucial for HR IT team. Server side technology was in Spring MVC, Database was Sybase and Flex for client side technology. Admin module was introduced at later stage for HR people.
• Work Flow: Each special increment goes through many approvals. This is known as workflow. Workflow is defined in savvion and using web service WF program communicate with savvion and follow the process. Each person in respective workflow will receive respective mail at appropriate approval time. User can log in to app to approve or cancel the workflow. Server side technology is in Spring MVC and Database is Sybase.
• MVP: Mandatory Vacation tracking system helps HR team in tracking vacation pattern and other details about employee's vacation. MVP includes admin module for HR people to export the report, view or change any data in system. Server side technology is in Spring MVC and Database is Sybase.
• Guarantee and Estimates: Due to PS8 to PS9 migration, many web-based forms were discarded in PS9. We implemented those apps in Flex on short notice. Flex was used as front hand. User can enter all guarantees and estimates related data of new hire using this app. Server side technology is in Spring MVC and Database is Sybase.
• Budget Allocation: Every year FAs can spend the allocated budget for team. To track amount allocation and amount spend by FAs Budget Allocation app is developed. Admin will allocate the budget to FAs and FAs will allocate budget to each team member. UI is in flex and server side code is in Spring Java.

Tech Lead

• Managed and Worked on generic web based reporting tool. Crystal is used for reports and Sybase as backend. Using Java API for Crystal, reporting tool is made web based. Spring was used in this project. User can mail and fax and schedule the report from web interface. Now reports can be made available to client with in 15 minutes. Due to this tool report writer can concentrate on reports and tool take cares of the other rich features which is otherwise not available. This tool is used by Munis and Derivaties department.
• Data Replication Tool: Mission critical application of Lehman Brothers run on timesTen db which has limitation in terms of memory. So periodically data is transferred to Sybase database which is used by critical reporting applications. The project enabled real-time replication of data with additional controls (filtered replication, delete into no-delete mapping of records etc) on what to replicate. It also provides batch replication in terms of 1-way Data synchronization with preprocessor. The product is deployed at all global offices of Lehman Brothers. User was managing the application from desktop which was developed in SWING.

My key responsibility for this project were supporting existing ESM CATS in production, involved in redesign and development of it and coordinating onsite team for business requirement issue resolution. TIBCO was used heavily in this project.
• Archival and Un archival: This tool helps in deleting and loading data from TT db after making necessary comparison with Sybase DB which helps in performance enhancement. Thread pool was used to insert records. All the dependencies of inserting record in either database were injected using spring. User was managing the application from desktop which was developed in SWING.
