Hired into Detica's Financial services department as Senior Consultant, I was assigned to the Liquidity Hub project to help build an interest rate swaps trading platform using CameronFIX Engine, Java, Spring, Fiorano messaging server and Oracle. On this 40-strong team of business analysts, architects and developers, my first major task was to fully automate the execution and reporting of their Grinder-based performance test suite. Next I joined one of the development sub-teams to work on design and development of the indicative-price calculation component. As the product went into pre-launch I took on the role of second-line support, fielding phone calls from the client's embedded first-line support engineers, collaborating quickly with other developers and SMEs to perform root-cause-analysis and deliver solutions to issues in a calm and timely manner. Next I put my hand up for a role as lead developer of the new dealer portal component, which I designed and developed using JBoss Seam, JSF, Hibernate/JPA and Oracle, which I presented as being the most suitable technology stack given the largely CRUD-based requirements and the aggressive schedule. At this time I was promoted to Principal Consultant.Tools Used:- Java- Spring- CameronFIX Engine- Fiorano Messaging Server- Seam 2- JSF- Hibernate / JPA- Oracle- MavenWhen the GFC struck I transferred into Detica's government department to work with another large team on a highly sensitive distributed enterprise Java system. Again I started as a member of a development team working on a search component, but quickly sought out a more challenging role leading a team of 6 to develop a data-loading system to support performance testing of the entire application under realistic 3-to-5 year data loads. This system had to be highly multithreaded, resilient and efficient in order to achieve this goal.Tools Used:- Java- Oracle- WebLogic- EJB- WorkManager EJB Multithreading API- Maven
