• I was the Solutions Designer and Technical Lead for a large conversion project of Confidential websites into Confidential Office Sharepoint Server 2007 (MOSS). I liaised with Application Specialists, Solutions Architects, Project Managers and coordinate and mentored programmers and liaised with Business Analysts on this project. I also developed high level functional documents and gave advice on the architecture of the project.
• The project is called Confidential refresh which involved converting around 5 older applications into ASP.Net and SharePoint. Also migrated existing content management system into SharePoint as well as implemented Confidential for the Single sign-on solution with Siteminder.

Data Integration Consultant | Project Manager

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Confidential purchased a school administration and fund-raising software called Raiser’s Edge that needed to integrate with their main Student Management system.
• I was hired to architect the data integration architecture and prepare the platform for integrating data for one-off loads and ongoing integration with the Raiser’s Edge system. Raiser’s Edge is one of the most widely used fund raising systems in the world and installed with Net Community, the web portal for this system. The bulk integrations happened in four phases with data from legacy systems (HP (TAFE and HED), SAP, AMS (Peoplesoft) and ALDB (old Alumni system) being integrated and cleansed extensively and then prepped for load into the Raiser’s Edge.
• In the second phase, I created a WCF (.Net 3.0) wrapper around the vendor API (written in COM) to allow ongoing interfaces to send and receive data in real time. I also created a helpdesk tool for the support personnel in ASP.Net to diagnose data faults and help them support the interfaces.
• In the initial stages, I took part in high level data format discussions and provided advice on the tools available for data integration. I also provided the specifications for purchasing hardware and necessary software. I also created a high level database for integration work with the appropriate tracking and auditing fields.
• In the implementation stage, I led the project using Confidential SQL Server Integration Services with Sql Server 2005 to create data integration packages for integrating their SAP, Peoplesoft and HP systems. This was for both once off loads and ongoing data integration. The integration also used CLR stored procedures. The integration needs of the organization were highly complex with the data coming from legacy systems that were in need of extensive cleansing. I also created reconciliation reports to reconcile integrated data and also to track the progress of the integration jobs.
• The project was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget with my leadership. I was also involved in weekly discussions with the vendor and helped organize data conversions on their end as well.
• The project team consisted of 1 project manager, 2 developers, 1 Business analyst and 3 participating developers/architects from affiliated systems as well as 3 people from the vendor’s end. I also filled in for the project manager for 1 month while he was on leave.
• In the second phase of the project, I was appointed Project manager and implemented real-time integration between the Alumni system and the SAP and Peoplesoft systems by using WCF Web Services. I also installed an issue tracking system for the Alumni department (based on Bugtracker.Net), as well as implementing a collaboration intranet site based in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. I then wrapped the API of the new Alumni system in a WCF web service and exposed it on the intranet allowing for integration between the Peoplesoft and SAP systems.

Architect

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• I was hired as a software architect to prepare a detailed overview of and document the current state of the Confidential system and make recommendations on future direction, with a focus on scalability. I delivered an Architectural analysis document where I evaluated the current software using the ISO 9126-1 quality model and also delivered functional and technical specifications.
• I also helped the team upgrade to .Net 2.0/3.0 from .Net 1.1 and to Sql Server 2005 from 2000. There were some problems with COM objects being used in SQL Server 2000 that caused upgrade issues (memory corruption). I provided alternative functionality by writing equivalent procedures as .Net stored procedures. The biggest issue was with encryption and this alternative fixed it and also provided better stability as they used to have corruptions infrequently before (in Sql Server 2000), needing database server reboots. I also provided .Net stored procedures to relieve the biggest database bottleneck, with was pattern matching. It was using ActiveX script before and would cause long delays in Sql Server 2005. The ActiveX Regex OLE pointer was being passed around in the stored procedure causing all sorts of grief.
• I overhauled the development process with recommendations for unit testing (quality control), correct usage of source control (recoverability), continuous build and correct development practices. I also setup correct source control practices, including policies for checking database code in a Visual Studio database project and advising on database code release strategies.
• I provided advice on refactoring the Confidential system from a 2 tier logical/physical mode to an N-Tier scalable application. I recommended using WCF to create a business logic tier and exposing it using WCF web services hosted in IIS. The UI is both in Winforms and PHP and I recommended using Tcp bindings for Winforms and Http for the PHP UI, for performance. I also recommended consolidating the duplicate pieces of functionality that is common to both PHP and Winforms and to break the direct database connection between the Winforms clients and the Confidential database as currently, the system is “stored procedure heavy. I recommended moving a large part of the business logic into a BL tier hosted on an application server. My recommendation was to use an application framework like CSLA.Net, that has built in support for WCF.

Architect/Lead Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Hansen monopolizes the provision of asset systems in the government sector. As a consequence, they have to integrate with a lot of existing and/or legacy systems. I was contracted to build them an integration framework using the latest technologies that could provide a generic framework for most of their future integration needs. As well as that, the challenge was to manage the influx of integration requests so that work done on the integration framework could be immediately utilized at client sites.
• The integration framework was designed and delivered by myself. I also designed and implemented an API for the Hansen Asset Management System using WCF. WCF was used instead of web services because it provides binding independence, allowing the hosting of services without a dependence on IIS.
• The framework was implemented at 2 large client sites. One was located in Victoria and one was a large government client in Perth (Dep of Dangerous Goods) and the other was for the Casey city council. The project implemented in Victoria had a lot of changing requirements and the Integration Framework was able to rapidly adapt to these because it uses XSLT transformations. This allowed the project to be delivered on time.
• I was deeply involved in the Perth project, from documentation to project management to implementation. I introduced the Volere methodology to the Business team and helped them define requirements in a structured format. The Perth project was used as an example where I actually prepared the documents and flew over to the client site in Perth and consulted for Hansen. I then defined data contracts in standard XSD formats and coordinated with stakeholders to sign off on the documents. There were 4 major stakeholders in the project who were all different companies (Hansen/Police/Aust Post/Dep of Dangerous Goods).
• I then created Requirements Specification and Functional Specification documents. I created a formal Requirements Specifications using Uses Cases to show the business how to capture client requirements in an appropriate format. I then proceeded to implement the interfaces using these documents and that phase actually took the least amount of time. I then coached junior developers on how to maintain this interface, by basically maintaining the XSLT. I finished off the project by creating the setup files and helping the UAT testers.
• For this project, I used .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0 (WCF and WWF).
• By leveraging off a reusable Integration Framework, Hansen will gain great time and cost savings in the future. The main focus of this was ease of use and to be able to use less technical staff to maintain this in the long run (maintainability).
