Java Hibernate.
February 2006 through March 2014: As a lead member of the Deployment team, my primary
responsibilities are to evaluate the installation, operation, training, and troubleshooting for all versions of
the program's application and record any user stories or defects those are necessary for a successful
deployment of the application in the fields. Before deploying the system, I make sure that the product is
in good shape and operational. Prepare all necessary deployment strategy and logistic plans, and make
schedule of the application deployment in the field. Conduct operational readiness review (ORR) and
after action review (AAR) for the tasks essential to be executed in the field. In addition, perform and
participate in-house activities required to conduct the system test, IV&V, and quality action review (QAR)
activities and suggest my views and recommendations to improve the product. Assist and support the field
area business process and operational issues and suggest design improvements and temporary
alternatives. Time to time, I travel to support the critical government tasks in the hazardous country
environment to accomplish the client’s goals and objectives.
February 2005 through January 2006: As a member of System Test team, Mr. Khan primary
responsibilities are to test the system before it goes out for IV&V testing and then for deployment. Based
upon each country’s unique requirements and design specifications, he is responsible of testing and
validation of software application. Depending upon system needs and test team lead instructions, he
participates in setting up the test environment, conducts integrated tests and comparative studies to verify
the functionalities, and prepares the test cases, test plans, for testing the system in different configuration
and operating systems. While testing and validating the product, using Tracker, he identifies and reports
any discrepancy and behavior, which does not meet the end user’s specific requirements. Time to time, he
attends meetings, presents evaluation reports, travels to support project, and helps other team members in
resolving the technical issues.
Prior to working as a member of System Test team, Mr. Khan, as a member of System Analysis team, was
responsible of evaluating the System Requirement Documents (SRDs) and preparation of Systems Design
Specifications (SDSs) for the assigned countries. During this period, he was responsible of commenting

demonstration marketing tool, developed for Toshiba Corporation that graphically portrays a visionary
approach for accomplishing all five of the TCPED imagery processing steps (tasking, collection,
processing, exploitation, and dissemination). The tool focuses on the information discovery and retrieval
(IDR) while attractively presenting the data in an intuitive, easily understandable format that takes into
account Japanese cultural sensitivities. The boundary of the system consists of five user roles: general
user, approver, analyst, collection manager, and administrator. Application features were emphasized
integrating a Map-based tool, which helped users to designate and navigate strategic locations on the map.
While supporting the IPS demo database activities, in support of the US Secret Service Modernization
Program, Mr. Khan reviewed the requirements and developed the activity diagrams for the Contraband
Information System (CIS) using Rational Rose Enterprise.
November 2002 through April 2003: Mr. Khan was involved in the segmentation activities for the US

a health care data mart for the US Military Health Care System called Population Health Operational
Tracking and Optimization (PHOTO). The responsibilities included data source analysis, data modeling,
data capturing, data transformation, and data aggregation in an IBM DB2/UDB and Microsoft NT
environment.
In the beginning of 2001, Mr. Khan evaluated an existing data mart that was designed using Microsoft
SQL database. This database has never become operational and was condemned immediately after the
completion of the evaluation. On EI/DS approval, a totally new effort was started to implement a new
data warehouse using IBM DB2/UDB and Microsoft NT for the PHOTO Phase I requirements. During
the implementation of PHOTO Phase I, Mr. Khan handled more than four hundred million Military
Health System (MHS) related records. Mr. Khan designed and developed initial data-load-transformations
and refresh-transformations using Informatica PoweCenter V5.1 ETL tool. Later, using the same ETL
tool, Mr. Khan designed several data mining and data aggregation transformations to speed up the process
of spinning Cognos cubes. For all the targets and deliverables, performed Development Integration Tests
(DITs) and provided DITs results to IV&V for the System Integrated Tests (SITs) on new PHOTO
database.
After the successful implementation of Population Health Operational Tracking and Optimization
(PHOTO) Phase I Data Mart, Mr. Khan continued to participate in the PHOTO Phase II development
activities. Mr. Khan enhanced the PHOTO Phase I data model to accommodate the PHOTO Phase II
requirements. With the involvement of HL-7 and NMOP (National Mail Order Pharmacy) data, the effort
