The Capital One project is a project where Capital One is enhancing the user experience to achieve customer satisfaction.  The current website only supports one view at a time where if I log into auto loans or credit card that is the only feature that the customer can see and access. So if customers is in credit cards and want to see a car loan, the customer has to log out and relog into the website to see an existing loan or any other related item.  Currently my team’s responsibilities are to take the existing website and to revitalize the website so customers when they log into the portal that they can see all existing credit cards and loans that is associated to their name or customer number, where the customer will be able to access everything in one view rather than logging out and going into another feature of the website.

As a contractor for SRA and our government client (DHS /CBP), I was working as a backend and frontend developer on the CARGO / CBP project. My tasks included working with user stories from created Jira Tickets formed from the requirements from Business Analysts.  The team I worked on was team Phoenix.  Team Phoenix was responsible for Entry Summary portion of the application. Entry Summary dealt with the record keeping, import, export, transfer, storage, move, and duties of all goods coming into the United States from foreign countries. CBP using Entry Summary components in the field provides security and facilitates operations at 328 ports of entry throughout the United States. The Entry Summary application and other related components are being created to better the effectiveness of the border patrolmen and are strictly and only used by agents of CBP and authorized personnel.  The usages of Entry Summary are in real time and are very important to be working correctly, and to maintain continuity and stability for its users.  If the application is not working then personnel in the field cannot do their jobs.  Many components of Entry Summary are being transitions to more update technologies which give the application more stability and speed. By updating and transitioning to these cutting edge technologies gives the field personnel a reliable system.

Sr. Java Developer                                                                                   

 

Veteran Affairs has a project working with CACI as the primary vendor. The VLER DAS serves as a proxy between consumer and producer services of VLER data. Consumer services initiate all data transactions. The VLER DAS interacts with Identity Management and VAP (Venous Access Ports) to ensure that all such data transactions maintain the integrity of personal data associated with individuals and enforce all related security and privacy policies. The VLER DAS provides stateless RESTFULAPIs between the client and server services.  Though at present, the VLER DAS only supports GET requests at the consumer and producer service interfaces involving PUTs and POSTs as needed to convey the quality of statelessness.  The application serving a consumer requests the VLER DAS acts as web server and the consumer service as client. In interacting with a provider services, though at present, the VLER DAS only supports GET requests at the consumer and producer service interfaces involving PUTs and POSTs as needed to convey the quality of statelessness.  The application serving a consumer requests the VLER DAS acts as web server and the consumer service as client. In interacting with a provider services, the VLER DAS acts as a web client and the provider service as a web server, a RESTFUL service as stateless if the server never stores any application state. In a stateless application, the server considers each client request in isolation and in terms of the current resource state. If the client wants any application state to be taken into consideration, the client must submit it as part of the request. The client manipulates resource state by sending a representation as part of the PUT or POST request.  The server manipulates client state by sending representations in response to the client’s GET requests.  Consumer services, acting as clients, initiate transactions on VLER data or VLER collections. VLER collections are Atom collections and can be thought of as folders that contain an Atom feed document that describes the collection, data/document records (hereafter referred to as subject documents), and/ or other collections. The Atom feed document contains metadata about the collection and an entry for each item in the collection. An entry may wholly contain the item if the content is text, html, or XHTML or can reference a subject document that is a resource separate from the feed doc. Each collection has one atom feed document and every VLER atom feed document uses the filename, section.xml.

OPM has legacy systems that need to be converted over to java. The legacy systems have several different applications on different servers.  The goal is to maintain and support the legacy systems that are in use and at the same time convert the applications in the legacy system to java using an agile methodology changing the source code per iteration.  As a java developer my duties where to design and build frontend and backend applications.  Several technologies were being used in order to accomplish this.  Being given a task I had about a week to complete the task before moving on to the next tasks.  Once my tasks where complete I created J-Units to test my application locally.  After creating and testing my source code locally it was then placed into subversion and integrated using Hudson as a CI tool.  My IDE was eclipse Helios. As well as incorporating ATG Framework allowing ATG access the Database through programs. This was done by the application’s logic to connect through the database. We used the tag library Dynamo
