Worked with the team technical lead to develop a plan to move all builds and deployments into a fully automated process. Learned the current manual process and was an impact immediately with the team, on getting builds and deployments completed in a timely fashion. With my knowledge in WebLogic, JBoss, and Tomcat, I was able to assist the current team with deployments to those application servers. Picked up knowledge on the Oracle Application Server version 10.1.3.4 and Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1. Used AccuRev for the versioning of the products, and JIRA for build/packaging tickets, bugs and releases tracking.

UI developer role for a contract project. Eclipse Helio is the IDE of choice, with MS SQL Server backend. The project is GWT based with a lot of java back-end development. This project required the confidence to raise issues and contribute to the technical discussions. Worked on converting a legacy (10+ years old) web application over to the latest technologies - for example: Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and AJAX - with a revamped look and feel to it. Agile development. The project got canceled by the client due to budget constraints on client.

Completed a 3 month contract, where tasks included: maintaining software for the aerospace industry (Lockheed Martin and NASA), and creating a monitoring application from scratch to monitor a core application within the JBoss Application Server. The monitor uses Swing to display the UI and JGroups to communicate with the server to gain access to memory, messages, and cluster details. The project manager, technical lead, and team lead have all been impressed with the quick development and the delivered product. NetBeans was the IDE chosen by the leads to develop with. Also used UMLet to create UML diagrams. Wrote test cases using MS Excel. OS environments used where: Linux (Red Hat Enterprise) and Windows XP. Code was checked in/out and managed using TeamForge/SourceForge and Subversion. J2EE and J2SE were both used. JBoss 5.x Community Edition was the server for the project.

After 3 months of doing contract work for BWI through Productive Data Systems, I was promoted to the current fulltime position: Senior IT Engineer. Learned the following technologies while maintaining and creating new project tasks: AJAX, JBoss 4.0.3SP1 application server, and picked up knowledge of the Oracle PL/SQL Developer IDE to create and maintain PL/SQL code. The team choice for IDE has been the Eclipse IDE. Introduced soapUI/XPath to the team for SOAP message testing. Learned RadView testing software to test web sites. The current project is able to handle well over 1-3 million hits per day, and has revenues over $20-30 million per year. The web application interacts with Oracle 10g. Security is handled by Oracle LDAP to manage client logon credentials. Used Struts Framework to manage the users' experience on the web pages. Generated regular expressions to parse through XML quicker.Upgraded JBoss from 4.0.3SP1 to 4.3.0 release. JBoss was improved from a cluster of 3 servers to 10 servers. Currently increasing the clusters to have 2 instances on each server. Also improving JBoss Cache to make use of an MBean manager to handle issues that have come up with concurrency. Worked with the unix administration team to create RPM installers for the application. Applied security using JAAS within JBoss security configuration. Already submitted an approved plan to replace some code and make use of JPA and JSF technologies to improve application performance and code cleanup.Helped out the QA team by creating a dynamic load test script using Radview 8. Development experience was using a full lifecycle workflow. Semi-agile development with very few patches going out as soon as QA approved. Code was checked in/out using Subversion via the Eclipse plug-in. Looked at Maven for a bit, but the team decided to stick with Ant scripts and RPM installers to deploy applications. J2EE and J2SE used at BW. OS environments used: Windows XP, Linux Red Hat.

Became owner of a project creating web services, the services allow clients to access an SIS (Student Information System) database schema. Created client and server-side applications using; Flash MX, J2EE, Tomcat, Hibernate, Spring, and MySQL technologies. AXIS services provided the communications between the Java and Flash clients, and the database. This project entails using the MVC model 2 framework. Created regular expressions to parse through the XML that was received.Assisted in writing Flash Action Script code to access the web services. Gained valuable experience with the focus from the architect team, and have been able to apply my experience in current technologies to meet their needs. Current project is on a Swing-based application for internal clients, and creating web reports via Web Services. Gained respect from peers and management with the hard work and dedication I put on the project(s). Administered Linux and Windows development environments, and used Eclipse IDE as the development tool of choice. As of October 2004, took over as technical lead for the Core Standards team. Worked closely with DBAs to create PL/SQL and triggers for Oracle database in the Core Standards project. Developed security framework for the web application; using JAAS and JSSE technologies. Provided technical documentation for project enhancements, and provided technical advice for developers on their work. Created a web service application from scratch using Servlet and Velocity technologies, with the ultimate result of providing a fast and very light services application for the Core Standards project. OS Environments: Linux Fedora/Red Hat, and Windows XP. Development process was very Agile, code would be out to QA every week, and tested by a team in India. Subversion was used to check in/out source code. The team has compared Spring and Struts frameworks and stuck with Struts. J2SE & J2EE used with Pearson.

TALX Corporation acquired the Unemployment Compensation division of GatesMcDonald in June 2002. Maintained applications created for GatesMcDonald prior to the acquisition.

Time Off Planning Services (TOPS) applications involved Java 1.1.7/1.2.2/1.3 J2SE connectivity to Oracle 8 databases using JDBC. Reports and web applications for TOPS were created using Java, JHTML, JSP, JavaBeans, JavaScript, CSS, StyleReports and PL/SQL to provide dynamic reporting and interactions for web users. As primary IVR programmer, Lucent’s Script Builder language was used to create robust telephony applications. RPC technology served as middleware for IVR to communicate to Java using JNI. With the IVR, converted English scripts/phrases to Spanish. Completed a lifecycle of IVR application from scratch to completion of unit/business testing.Unemployment Compensation (UC) applications also were created using Java 1.2.2/1.3, JavaScript, CSS, Servlets, JSP, and Oracle 8. The applications received reporting information from existing COBOL applications. Reports were converted to web-based format for web users to view the reports using browsers instead of legacy mainframe text-based screens. Solely in charge of separation reporting application for UC. The interaction with users made it easier to submit multiple employee separations via the web, rather than using IVR. JavaMail and Java FTP technologies were used to notify users of reports as well as submitting the claims to legacy COBOL applications. Played backup role to Weblogic administration.All coding was done using TextPad, TOAD, Visual Café, and VI editors. Both TOPS and UC applications run on Weblogic servers, Lucent Conversant IVR servers, and Unix environment. Apache and Tomcat servers were used as development environments to test applications initially on local servers (home-based also) before moving to development environments. Performed backup administration for Oracle databases and Weblogic servers. Project methodology extensively used throughout lifetime of project assignments. On the TOPS and UC teams, development was all done for front-end and back-end.
