Refactoring of an existing application that handles high volume and high value international direct debit (IDD) batches represented by EDI transactions. Planning and developing implementation of a new messaging communication channel to different platforms (AS400/AIX/HP-UX/ WindowsNT/IMS) and to the offices of European countries based on IBM MQ Series and JNI. Improving the performance of the XML part of the application OO redesign using UML (TogetherSoft) and introducing Java PL/SQL routines. Improving the stability of communications to the billing systems by solving multi-threading issues. Improving the quality of the software by means of designing automated Unit tests (JUnit) and handle production problems for major customers for the bank. Managing the pilot
for further performance enhancements based on redesign of the database
(Oracle Designer) and introduction of Java PL/SQL routines in the Java
framework. Along with these central activities, responsible for implementing
the validation rules for specific countries in the legacy portal in C. In the last weeks of my contract I was lend to the Payment Router team which routes payments of all sort by means of C processes and stored procedures (Oracle PL/SQL,Pro*C). My assigment was to create settlement date in the output format of the EDI transactions. I used C/Pro*C to implement these functional requirements into the existing product as a shared library. In line with this I made the makefiles and systemtests for the product. One of the last activities was the evaluation of migrating the web-based account administration to the Websphere Application server (J2EE) application. In the first step I performed transforming the application to a JSP application under IBM Websphere Test Environment in Visual Age for Java. Applied basic J2EE knowledge of datasources and name persistence building. In the last step I evaluated the use of Apache-struts in WTE to enabled MVC design paradigm. The product and
platforms are: HP-UX 11.x, Windows NT, Visual Age for Java 3.02/3.5.3
Enterprise Edition, Oracle Designer 6.0, TOAD, Oracle DB 8.1.7, Oracle
PL/SQL, JDK 1.2.2/1.3.0, IBM MQ-Series, JNI, JUnit, OptimizeIT, TogetherJ,
Rational Rose ClearCase, VAJ WebSphere Test Environment (J2EE), JRun 2.0,
JBuilder 4.0. |

Developed a B2B
internet application that creates and processes EDI messages for notification
of ship movements, dangerous goods notifications and port declarations to
legacy systems. The application consists a 100% Java client (JavaWebStart),
RMI application server as middleware (Sun Solaris) and database server
(Oracle). Completed the project as a Java architect and technical designer
aimed to design this mission critical application. The project skills required were: OO Modelling in UML (TogetherSoft), database design (Oracle), directory schema design (LDAP), directory replication (iPlanet), database replication (Oracle), multi–tiered software architecture, solving concurrency issues, creating fail-over mechanisms, defining object persistence layer (TOPLink) and extensive JFC Swing UI programming. As a technical member involved with setting up a network architecture together with network administration handling issues as firewall, procmail, fail-over and security. The project was
implemented with Visual Age for Java 3.0 Enterprise Edition in the JDK 1.2.2
version, RMI, JNDI, JFC Swing 1.1.1, JDK1.2.2, JDK1.3, Sun Java-Plugin 1.3,
Java WebStart 1.0, Oracle 8.1.7, iPlanet Enterprise Server 4.0, iPlanet
Directory Server 4.1, Sun Solaris 8.x, SCO Unix, TOPLink object persistence
layer, TogetherJ and OptimizeIT. |

Developed and
deployed the meteorology and hydrology Java application for Traffic Control
and third party end users. As the team developer, worked closely with
end-users using DSDM for analysis, design, rapid prototyping, testing and
implementation of the product. Besides delivering the product our secondary
goal was to establish guidelines for embedding Java applications in the
mainstream software development tracks of the Rotterdam Port Authority. The internet version of the application
can be seen at http://www.portmanagement.com/UK/Waterandweather/OnlineObservations/. The software design includes parallel processing, visual composition, bean design, design complex SQL statements and model view controller architecture. The platforms and products used were Oracle 8.1.5, Sun Solaris 7.0, Windows NT 4.0, Netscape Enterprise Server 3.62, Netscape Directory Server 3.1, JWSDK 2.0, JDBC, JDK1.2.2, JClass graph components, Netscape Communicator 4.7 and the Java Plug in 1.2.2. Developed
and deployed web-application for the public and port officials to show
arrivals and departures of sea ships in the Rotterdam harbour. Developed,
designed and programmed the Server side-JavaScript program based on command
pattern with multi lingual capabilities. The process of
designing is now serving as standard future applications written in SSJS or
any other basic web scripting language. The internet version of the
application can be seen at http://www.portofrotterdam.com/UK/Shipinfo/. The
platforms and products used were Oracle 8.1.5, JDK 1.1.5, Macromedia
DreamWeaver 2.0, Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6. Developed
the yellow pages for Port Authority on the intranet with browsing and data
entry capabilities using Server Side JavaScript and Java Server Pages in JDK
1.1.5 and Oracle 7.3. Developed,
designed and implemented the EDI information intranet application which is
used by traffic control to verify received EDI messages sent by customers in
a real-time environment. The application consists of three parts. The first
part is the front-end imports extracted meta information of electronic ship
notifications from the EDI server into Oracle by means of SQLLoader. The
second part consists of the database triggers and PL/SQL routines that
generate statistics. And the last part is the user interface which displays
the generated statistic. The
platforms and products used were Oracle 8.1.5, JDK 1.1.5, Oracle SQLLoad,
PL/SQL, Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6 and Server Side Javascript. Developed
a sea ship tracking applet prototype for tracking ship movements in the
Rotterdam harbor. This Java 1.1 application draws the ship on a map based on
real-time radar information and can be traced in the AWT GUI. Involved in the
development of the Java technology research group, restructured the corporate
internet http://www.portofrotterdam.com,
structured and build the corporate intranet, deployed search capabilities to
all corporate websites and product evaluation. |
