Transforming the in-store retail space by empowering associates through a mobile single lens of data to feel confident in engagement with customers. Our cloud-based platform, Concierge, allows retailers to connect to preexisting systems and create a new experience for associates and customers, with a focus on personalization and productivity, while driving towards an increase in average order value (AOV). Some of the things I work on/with:Java 8 core, Remote debugging, Spring, Java EE, Maven, Oracle DB, SQL Server DB, Orpos, Xstore, EFT Link, IntelliJ, Git, Jenkins, etc.Working primarily on Ralph Lauren® mobile POS solutions in North America, EU and Asian Pacific regions. Dealing with fiscalization and other unique regional attributes. I don't mind getting my hands dirty in the lab doing devops work in addition to coding the mobile POS layer. Whatever it takes to move forward and deliver.

• Built new WSO2 mediation for performance and code simplification based on Java 8, JCache (using distributed Hazelcast), Kafka and Oracle DB. Deployed as OSGi and CAR.• Built generic DTO generation based on SQL metadata. Using single generic DAO against Oracle DB. Runtime 30-300% faster than JPA.• Built generic database fallback for cache misses and generic database to composite cache key mapping. This sits on top of JCache to simplify repetitive actions.• Worked with CI/CD team to streamline build and deploy processes for SDC platform. Tested all Jenkins pipes through production. Tweaked settings.xml and jenkinsFile as needed.• Streamlined Maven build process for SDC back end.• Ran automated and manual regression tests on SDC back end.• Worked with DevOps to learn how to deploy/troubleshoot WSO2 and Weblogic nodes.• Code and troubleshoot various existing Spring and Java EE projects as needed.• Worked on SDC conversion from Java 8/Weblogic to Java 11/Tomcat. This means dealing with transitive dependencies, artifact upgrades, Jersey 1 to Jersey 2 conversion, compatibility issues, etc. Large project.

Independent consultant with capacious repertoire of skills that can benefit your business immediately. From web scale infrastructure and programming to custom IoT devices. I'm comfortable working with various Open Source projects and dealing directly with the developers to resolve issues. I have no problem peeling the onion. Have a project you outsourced that is a complete disaster? Let me fix it for you. There are too many projects to list, but here are the latest:• Generate Python and Java wrappers for libgpiod user space GPIO.• Using Docker Swarm, nginx proxy and Ansible to build fault tolerant Spring Boot platform.• Built load testing tool for client using JAX-B and MQ Series client to generate synthetic transactions to a destination.• Helped client improve transnational processing 500% with their client in Java EE app running on WildFly. Also worked with developers to implement static code analysis, JVM telemetry to look for performance issues.• Helped client identify and fix JMS performance issue for their client.• Zabbix 3.4 to monitor servers, services, IoT, security cameras, home appliances, etc.• Installed XenServer 7.2 with Docker supplemental pack. Deployed and tested Docker containers.• Installed Piwik analytics platform and Piwik Server Log Analytics.• Using SBCs to build low cost/power next generation ARM based infrastructures. Create private clouds/server farms at a fraction of the cost of x86.• Using Python and computer vision to create smart cameras and software that intelligently detects and classifies objects.• Built Turing Complete ETL tool in Java based on commands instead of steps. Dynamic scripting is used to process commands giving you full control instead of a contrived step based pseudo control type system.• Deployed Java based ETL tool to collect and normalize web data on scheduled basis. Built analytical model over persisted data.

My primary focus was scalable/fault tolerant systems, development and integration. This includes:• GlassFish Java EE 6 message based platform for communicating to the Mystro Application Server that talks to set top boxes as part of the BHTV 2/3 architecture. This includes advanced JMX monitoring of the JMS queues via Zabbix external checks.• Integrating a provisioning gateway as part of digital phone flow through provisioning. This is based on a WebLogic cluster and Oracle database back end.• VOD entitlements subsystem based on linear entitlements as part of BHTV 3 using Java 6 and Spring.• BHTV 3 event gateway handling over 1.5M messages daily. Based on TomEE 2.0, Java 8, Java EE 7 and distributed cache using JCache.• National channel service crawler aggregates thousands of service calls into a relational format used by BHTV VOD and legacy channel table. Generates delta reports comparing relational data.• VOD TWC data import of 400G of XML files in Oracle database. Used JAX-B chunks processing and Java executor service to create threaded bulk loader. Reduced load time to 45 minutes from 1.5 days using minimal memory.• Mystro Back Office (MBO) service bus to handle interaction with set top boxes. Based on TomEE 7.0, JAX-RS, JAX-WS, JMS, Bean Validation and JCache using Hazelcast cluster. This provides an edge server to set top boxes.• Geo IP REST service using Maxmind database used in geo fencing BHTV clients. Automated database updates. Over 3M requests per day.• Deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting and performance analysis of BHTV platform.• Managed common maven build POMs, Jenkins CI and Nexus servers.• Zabbix used to monitor all BHTV VMs to provide telemetry to the development team. We often knew about issues prior to Applications Support and were able to provide superior levels of service.
