He provided ongoing support for the system after it was released to production. Technologies used mainly include: MS SQL , Java Concurrency API, Spring, Hibernate, and XML file processing.Robert proposed a Web development framework to the bank for a new strategic project. The framework included a cutting edge front-end user interface component library, and integration solutions with Spring framework and JQuery. The framework significantly increased developer productivity.Robert designed and implemented Role Based Access Control (RBAC) for the above-mentioned project - the first RBAC enabled project in Australian central bank that fulfils the new strategic security requirement of the Bank.Robert lead the work that was instrumental in integrating Java Web applications with MS BI Cube for data management and presentation. Robert worked hard to determine an innovative solution that applies a lazy-loading technique to facilitate the presentation of a large amount of Cube data in the front-end Web browser, without compromising application reliability and performance. Robert developed automatic procedures to manage the release life cycle of the project. This is mainly achieved through a Jenkins job with Maven release plugin. With a click of button, the project artifacts can be selectively deployed to Development, Test, Quality Assurance and Production environments in a matter of minutes. Technologies used mainly include: Spring, JPA, JSF, Javascript, Maven, MS SQL, Restful Web Service, Jenkins, and Linux shell scripting. Show less
