This involves making sure the back-office applications were ready to support certain model year and lead vehicles by loading vehicle data, provisioning application environments, enabling firewall rules, regional carriers and CTF vehicles availablity for validations. This involved wotking with the regional vehicle validation / quality teams to line up resources. Show less

The application is called My Staffing Advisor. It used Watson Alchemy language technology on Bluemix to generate keywords and concepts from job descriptions and practitioner skill descriptions to identify matches for practitioners and jobs. This solution also used Optimatch for scoring and filtering on geography, I researched Watson technologies from improving matches by considering Watson Explorer with National Language Qualifier (NLQ) and Content Analyzer / Watson Knowledge Studio (WKS). I used RSA and methodologies such as Agile / DevOps and IBM's Mobile AD. - Worked very closely with the Product Owner / Project Manager, Business Analyst, Development Team, Test Manager and Production Support staff with the scrum reviews and scoring process. - Worked with the Business Owners, Project Director, Technical Leadership Team (TLT), Enterprise Architecture Review Board (ARB) and Project Management Office (PMO) to capture and validate business requirements and assisted the Business Analyst in the creation of System and Software requirements (RTC and Box) / User Stories / Backlog items. Worked with DST, AHE, GHO and CDT application hosting teams in the build-out of the hosting environments (develop, test, quality assurance and zLinux production) in MobileFirst Platform (MFP/Worklight) and WAS servers. The non-functional requirements such as number of users (i.e. concurrent), number of login attempts, number of requests / responses to/from WAS v8, security (IMC, SSL / TLS), transaction processing (Spring JDBC) and number of data connections (DB2) were used to determine the size estimate for the infrastructure.
