• Built the F5 downloads site, exposing the files over FTP, HTTP and HTTPS, and with a custom SOAP export compliance solution.• Designed and built a callhome for our product to do an automatic software update. This was for our ASM security product. It uses Axis II and MTOM to deliver updates all in one request via SOAP with attachments.• Designed a robust customer support web site driven by the Spring Framework, REST, and RSS. Features: search results delivered in RSS, automatic state reconstruction (this enabled seamless recovery when failing the user session over to a new server). • Ported the 12,000 page knowledge base into Day CQ (AEM). This was a massive challenge as the documents were in unstructured, variable HTML. It contained over 2,000 images and 750 PDFs. Wrote new API for importing documents programmatically, designed RSS feed configurator, implemented advanced Lucene search utilizing XPATH queries.• Upgraded the SOAP-based licensing service called by F5 gear to have more advanced web services. Collected an expanded set of customer data, integrated it into F5's Single Sign On, and implanted a more robust error reporting API.• Implemented the first Customer Support Portal for F5, tying it into the existing CRM system. Integrated F5 financial data with Salesforce.com via a nightly batch job run over SOAP. This process resulted in sales commissions payouts, and as a result had to run flawlessly, every day of the year, to keep up with sales data. It ran for eight years, virtually unchanged.• Wrote F5's Single Sign On using F5 technologies including SSL offloading and iRules (layer 7 transformations). This was a cross-domain SSO that could seamlessly recover the user session when failing over between servers - and global data centers.
