Jan 2006 - Current

Position: Programmer Analyst Sr.

Primarily involved in design, development and maintenance of "Direct"

suite of software applications that aid in Remote Deposit Capture (RDC)

for various banking institutions and their clients. Suite of Applications

include a smart client (windows desktop application deployed using Click-

Once deployment framework) and a thin client (lightweight internet-facing

asp.net web application) for deposit capture, and Administration utility

(windows desktop application) and Dashboard Utility (Ajax-enabled Asp.net

Web Application) to configure, monitor and manage the capture clients.

The capture clients as well as the configuration applications interface

with the backend through a network of asp.net web services.

Also involved in design and development of companion tools including a

migration wizard for migrating data from the old version of the

configuration application to the new one and a report customization

wizard using XSL transforms to customize standard reports to suit

customer needs.

Responsibilities:

. Participated in review of customer requirements and functional

specifications developed by the Business Analysts and authored several

technical specifications to guide development team in implementation.

. Actively involved in Strategic feature development as well as maintenance

tasks such as hot fix rollouts. Developed several Proof-of-Concepts

(POCs) to help guide development of complex features, and Test harness

applications to test performance of client applications.

. Held ownership of the API documentation generation provided to assist

third party application developers for every software release.

Documentation generation was done using SandCastle Helpfile Builder.

. Participated in re-architecting and re-engineering the code base to

enhance performance, security, maintainability and scalability.

Tasks:

. Design and Implementation of the database tier (Database: Sql Server

2005): Was involved in creation of the various database objects such as

tables and related keys, indexes and constraints as well as various

stored procedures and views for efficient data manipulation and

retrieval. On certain occasions, designed bulk data inserts using Xml

parameters and OpenXml queries in stored procedures. Contributed to

database upgrade scripts between software releases.

. Designed and implemented the various business objects to store the

business related information. Made use of the Xml data type in Sql Server

to store custom configuration information in Xml in the database and

deserialized into configuration business objects. Occasionally, used

custom serialization and Xslt/XPath to transform business objects to

facilitate backwards compatibility between software releases.

. Implemented server side instrumentation components such as logging and

exception handling.

. Implemented the Business logic tier with Asp.Net webservices. Implemented

custom membership using the provider model (implemented custom membership

and role providers). Used custom schema extension importers to enhance

efficiency of web services by avoiding creation of proxy classes.

. Designed and developed the thick client UI using win forms, standard .net

win form controls as well as third party controls from Infragistics Net

Advantage 2008 suite of controls.

. Designed and developed thin client UI with Asp.net web controls, custom

user controls and Ajax toolkit controls. Incorporated asp.net features

such as master pages and themes to create uniform look and feel for

applications. Enabled client-side asynchronous interaction with web

service using Microsoft behavior extensions.

. Developed thick and thin-client reports using Sql Reporting Services.

Occasionally, developed dynamic reports by modifying RDL and RDLC files

and rendering them at runtime.
