Designed and implemented software using the J2EE
multi-tier architecture
Participated in 7 week intensive Java training
through Valtech at the end of which we competed on
2 teams against each other to design and implement
a project relating to what we would be working on
at Hertz. I was the team leader of the winning
team. During this training we learned everything
from OOP Analysis & Design diagrams to multi-tier
architecture.
Used junit testing
Used the WSAD/RAD IDE
The second project I was a part of at Hertz was for
the application used by the Instant Return handheld
devices. The devices required a separate set of
screens and function keys. I was on the project
from beginning to end, designing the program and
implementing the code. I also created most of the
screens using jsp. The project was the only one at
that time that was finished before its deadline.
XML was also used as a part of the front-end
development
