High Credibility, excellent analytical ability and goal oriented. 10 years of continuous hand-on Java and related technologies coding experience.

 

Work Experience:

 

1.         Project EDGAR: NTT DATA at: Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC)/NTTDATA.

 

Location: 100 F Street NE, Washington DC (Union Station), Washington DC.

 

Projects: EDGAR (MA, MA-I and MA-W):

 

MA is a sub project of EDGAR project. MA stands for Municipal Advisory registrations forms.  The Project encompasses three distinct sub projects: MA (Municipal Advisor) for companies’ registrations with Securities and Exhange Commission (SEC), MA-I (Municipal Advisors for Individual) for individual’s reigstrations and MA-W (Municipal Advisor Withdrawal) for withdrawing registrations.  Each of MA and MA-I are further divided into sub projects for MA these are: (MA, MA-A and MA-A/A) for MA-I these sub projects are (MA-I, MA-I-A and MA-I-A/A) for Initial submission, Amended submission or Annual submission.

 

The IT Environment includes: Spring Framework 3.x, Struts 2.x, AJAX, JSP, Servlets, JQuiery, Javascripts, Java 7, J2EE, XML, XSLT, XHTML, Eclipse 3x, Sybase db, Team Track, Serena VM, Unix and many tools such as PuTTY, WinSCP for remote connection and patching.

 

MA and variants, at very high levels, compose of two types of UI: JSP/HTML UI which is called Online forms (JSPs, HTML), and XML/XSLT/XHTML UI which is called Print Current forms.  The Online forms are for filing and submission while Print Current forms for saving a local copy of the submission forms.  The Online forms use Spring Framework patterns and JQuery patterns while the Print Currents use XML/XSLT/XHTML transformation pattern.

 

MA project and its variants follow similar architectural patterns, they use:

1.                     Spring Framework IoC to inject data into the beans.

2.                     Xml Converters and xml beans to convert Java objects into xml or vice veresa.

3.                     JQuery and Javascripts to validate JSP’s fields in the forms.

4.                     JQuery modal windows to navigate between different modal windows.

5.                     XSDs to validate xml data and to generate xml bean objects.

6.                     XSLT to transforms xml data into XHTML for display purposes.

7.                     JSP tag library to handle repeatable forms.

8.                     CSS to format the HTML and XHTML.

9.                     AJAX to submit the forms.

 

My Role:

 

MA is a complex system with complex platform with large array of federated systems, hardware and software architecture.  A large team of about 71 members or more, grouped into scores of sub teams such as Software Engineering (SE), System Engineering, Management team, Requirements, System Testing (ST), Usability Testing (UAT), Database, etc manage EDGAR project. My role since joined the SEC/NTTDATA was within SE team, which represents the software development. Although I have worked on every part of the MA forms whether Java/Spring controllers, xml converters, JSPs, JQuery validations,  submissions, but  my expertise is well appreciated by MA leadership team in the area of XSDs, XSLT and XHTML.

 

 

2.         Company name: Wireless Matrix (www.wirelessmatrix.com)

 

Since June 2010 – April 30, 2012

Location: 13465 Dulles Technology Drive Herndon, VA 20171 (703) 262-0500, Supervisor: Srini Kanchinatham.  Office: 703.262.5183, Cell: 703.439.7121.

 

Wireless Matrix (MRX) founded in 1991 as satellite, GPS, automatic vehicle location (AVL, now Fleet Outlook).  MRX also among the leader in provisioning services: provider of wireless data services to businesses, supplier of corporate internet access, dispatch, location and positioning services.

 

The IT Environment includes: Netsuite (ERP and Billing system), Java, J2SE, J2EE, Web Services (Soap-based, WS-RPC, RESTful), Eclipse 3.x, Spring Framework 3.x, hibernate 2.x, Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 11g and others such as SOAP UI, Charles web monitors, SVN and Maven.

 

My Role:

 

My role as Internal System Analyst is to develop and maintain an integration layer (similar to a Broker Layer) between the Financial Group and System Engineering Group. The company main SaaS (Sofware as a Service) is Fleet OutLook software. The Fleet Outlook monitors and collects activations and deactivations of devices, vehicles and enterprises; such data is vital for billing purposes. The Billing service is composed of an array of ERP and billing systems (Netsuite and Highdeal) and Oracle databases. The billing data is generated through complex Java objects, Oracle SQL and PL/SQL queries, CSV, XML and XLS files.  Previously, data was pushed to the ERP systems either manually or loaded through batch processes into Highdeal to generate billing data and then data to be uploaded into Netsuite to generate billing (Sales Orders, invoices, Purchase Orders). One of my roles is to completely automate this layer to the point that provisioning and de-provisioning through Fleet Outlook to be transparently reflected into Netsuite to allow the Financial team to capture all billing data correctly.

 

Some highlight of my successes (these are solo developed processes by me):

 

a.                      I have successfully completed the automation of the layer between billing system and Fleet Outlook system. Fleet Outlook tracks and monitors many corporate databases; the Java-based Integration Broker now is able to directly access all database environments (more than 5 db environment clusters each handling different set of corporate data type: dish, satellite, GPS etc) and timely update the Netsuite Integration database with provisioning data and providing them to Netsuite (the billing system).

 

b.                     I have developed a service layer in the ERP tier that updates Fleet Outlook with customers’ info, creates enterprises, adds devices, all done through a rigorous HTTP calls to the Fleet Outlook web services. This service is a complex loosely coupled orchestration of many systems (ERP layer which was developed on the top of Javascript Aptana api, Fleet Outlook which was developed using Java/JEE and Soap-based web services, and Fleet Outlook UI using Flex, Spring Framework and Hibernate).  This service layer cut large amount of daily manual work and greatly improved the SLA (by reducing almost all manual work in this area of business to less than an hour and left only mandatory operations such as activation of devices on the carriers since activation was vendor task outside the process jurisdiction).

 

c.                      I have successfully developed a service layer to handle data, from Vendors, to be incorporated on the fly on the local systems; this service layer handles the daily devices procurement into the ERP system and further pushes the data into Fleet Outlook as outlined in step b above.

The Electronic Interfaces are programs that tie diverse systems together; they transform one form of file into a different form to suit the need of the intended user, such files may include: relational database, flat file, comma separated files, xml data.  Most of our electronic interfaces are designed to handle three services:

·  Flight schedules: here the airlines send their data either as an XML, or PDF files, from those files we extract the required information and load them into temporary Oracle database tables, from the temporary tables the data is either directly inserted into CXP database or sent as XML to a web service  for further processing by UI team.  Here our team is able to automate the creation of more three-thousand flight schedules bimonthly.

·  Flight events updates: these are missing data or data that sent in the last 72 hours in order to update the flight schedules with passenger counts, meal types or materials.  This is a near real time tier, and this is where I have done great successes in improving the overall Gate Gourmet timely delivery to their customers.  The data received here is either in XML, EXCEL, DAT, CSV or any other format.

·  Ratio Charts: these data is used for assigning the correct amount of meals per flight based on pervious experience of catering. Based on a set of rules, called catering rules, the interface calculates the right number of meals to be boarded for each flight based on the actual passenger number.
