NIELSEN MEDIA RESEARCH

PROJECT DETAILS: Lead architect responsible for J2EE OOD and development for a high traffic

reporting application. The application consisted of multi-tier J2EE JBoss servers. The front-end was

developed in Macromedia Flash that made Web Service calls to a JBoss server. The JBoss server used Axis

to send/receive SOAP messages. The J2EE infrastructure used Hibernate to communicate with the

metadata and Message Driven Beans (MDBs) to submit requests to a cluster of Linux blades.

SUMMARY: Developed a mid-tier SOA architecture using EJB3 and TIBCO BusinessWorks Enterprise

Service Bus (ESB) solution. The ESB consolidated over 10 systems into one, saving hundreds of thousands

in infrastructure, maintenance and development costs.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  · Manage entry to mid-level developers on architecture design, OOD, and project vision, while

maintaining timelines.

  · Key developer involved in Patent Pending architecture.

  · Digest business requirements into working data models.

  · Key developer involved in design, development, implementation, and production support for a multithreaded

middleware application.

  · Lead developer of the front-end web application mentioned above. Responsible for the OOD and

implementation. The multi-threaded application generates annual revenue between 8-10 million

dollars.

  · Designed and implemented a web application using the Struts framework. The application serves as

an administration layer to the XML-RPC interface

  · Tasked to take a high demand web application to make it more memory efficient. The task involved

making an assessment of the existing OOD and re-factoring it without completely rewriting the

application. This resulted in making the application more scalable and faster.

  · Installed and setup entire MicroStrategy server architectures.

  · Designed and implemented a web application that monitored development, test, and 2 production

environments.

  · Designed metadata data models for web applications.
