Ricerca-Amministrativa.it is a web portal I created and launched in April 2013 together with a partner. It provides advanced search functionalities on a set of about 1.650.000 documents coming from the official site of the Italian Administrative-Law Judge. The official site lacks a full-text search functionality and Ricerca-Amministrativa offers a replacement with a wide set of value added features.

The official site lacks a full-text search functionality and Ricerca-Amministrativa offers a replacement with a wide set of value added features. I designed both the automated multithread Java SE spider that collects and indexes all the documents on a daily basis and the search engine. The latter is based on Apache Solr 4.0 with a custom caching layer and several fine optimizations created to target the specifical market. The frontend is realized with a Java EE web application based on JSF, JMS, EJB 3.0, CDI and JPA. I personally took care of the IT infrastructure set up as well, including the configuration of the Glassfish 3.1 instance and of the tuning of the OS level parameters (CentOs 6). The UI is very intuitive and it has been designed and engineered by ELBuild. Show less

As a senior software engineer I designed and implemented the software that allows the company customers to interact with their WSN. The system was composed by a multithread Java daemon that synchronously red data from a RS232 serial interface (RXTX lib) and handled the persistence on a MySQL database via Eclipse Link JPA 2.0. The customers could access those data via a standard Swing Desktop application, a Java EE (JSF, CDI, EJB) web application deployed on Apache Tomcat 7, a JAX-WS SOAP Web Service or a SNMP module I wrote using SNMP4J. All those interfaces could trigger the daemon (that acts also as a server in client/server paradigm) to send ZigBee messages (configurations, requests, etc) over the WSN via a messaging framework I developed using objects serialization over sockets and JMS. The daemon was also used to schedule (via the TimerTask class) the generation of PDF report via XSL-FOP and to send alarms via mail (javax.mail) or GSM (custom lib sending AT 07.07 commands over RS-232).As a senior developer I was also responsible of a part of the company software development team, supervisioning the activity of 3 other developers.
