QT deals with fuel management of airlines such as Delta and American via meters, hand-held devices, and a web portal. BizTalk/MQ team receives data feed of over one million flight and fuel records per day via MQ-Series. Created MQ-Cloner (C# windows service) to take one feed from airline, and clone it for multiple QT environments. Implemented numerous statistics collectors and formatted HTML emails from SQL-agent to alert when any problem existed with the system. Helped bring BizTalk to clustered environment, upgrade 2006/R2 to 2013, and 24x7 operation. Extensive use of MS/SQL and maintenance of huge SQL stored procedures, functions, agent jobs. Recently added airline feed from OAG for new airlines and airports, and expanded system functionality to handle a variety of new feeds, airlines, and airports. QT grew from 3 airports to 50 during my time there.

Architected and developed BizTalk, WCFsolution to handle third-party wealth management software, including internal transfer of funds between accounts, wire transfers, automated clearing house (ACH) transactions, and check images. Designed and dealt with several layers of security, certificates,auditing requirements, and fraud prevention measures. Interfaced with banking software Open Solution Inc (OSI), FundTech’s PayPlus, Fidelity, and Datafaction Wealth Management Software. Extreme emphasis on quality, reliability, customer service since we were dealing with money and high profile clients and their wealth managers. Technology: BT2006/R2, VS2010, N-Tier data layer using Entity Framework 4.0. Used XML Columns in SQL 2008 Database to store request/response messages, and exposed xml data view Xquery Views. Created disaster recovery plan “in flight” transactions.

Implemented CICS (Mainframe) to BizTalk to call vendor web-services using HIS (Host Integration Services) [specifically a feature called HIP - Host Initiated Processing).

Us

Architected and developed an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) on the BizTalk 2006/R2 platform, with itineraries driven by BizTalk’s Business Rule Engine (BRE). The ESB controls the flow of loan data (using a common message format) between seven in-house applications and five external vendors. Web Applications called BizTalk orchestrations published as WCF web services. Designed and worked with WCF developers to create a LINQ data access layer (DAL) for SQL2005 database which acted as the system of record for all loans. Active in the development of 24 BizTalk applications, and implemented Scott Colestock’s “BizTalk Deployment Framework” (Open Source from CodePlex) to automate builds and deploys of these projects from Team Foundation Server (TFS) to Development, QA, System Integration Testing, and Production Environments. Worked with four other BizTalk consultants on this project, and mentored the customer’s staff in BizTalk and WCF. All development and QA was done on virtual machines using VMWare. Made extensive use of cross-reference database and functoids, and tools to migrate the cross-reference values. Created C# “helper” routines using DOM, XPath. Interface ASP.NET applications to BizTalk via WCF published orchestrations. Implemented patterns such as sequential convoy, scatter gather, and advanced correlation.

Built BizTalk system that integrated 26 different applications using custom ESB.
