Nearly 4 years of experience in Verizon IT as Programmer Analyst & Software

Developer on COFEE ordering application. Presently working on FiOS Digital

Voice initiative for Verizon and playing a key role in the project leading

a team of 14 members.

Verizon's COFEE project redefines the way telecom orders were accepted

earlier which were very closely tied to downstream Mainframe applications

giving the user much less of flexibility and User interface for handling

customer calls. Project offers decent GUI interface and much more

additional products available for provisioning from different systems.

COFEE-FTTP, the only project for Verizon with ability to take fiber to the

premise orders makes COFEE a very critical application from Verizon's IT &

Business Channel perspective. Prior to FiOSVoice, project scope included

enhancement, software maintenance and support including application

software changes required to correct defects in the application software or

to enhance the functionality of the software as required by Verizon,

application of patches to existing versions of layered products and

activities relating to maintenance that are non-code related, such as, but

not limited to, documentation, progress reports, technical bridges,

inspections and comprehensive development support for dedicated testing

teams in different levels of deployment.

Project: - HCL-WebEx

Role: - Software Developer

Duration: - Jan' 2002 - July' 2002

HCL InfoSystems while into the business of proposing best suited

WebSwitches / Routers to its various clients, required an interface which

could help build up the efficient client proposals within stipulated time

frames. To accomplish this task, HCL had borrowed a set of webservices from

third party vendors having access to a set of databases hosting variety of

networking element information. These webservices were meant to respond to

a specific request received in XMLs, convert them to create inputs for the

stored procedures to be executed on the databases. The result set was

supposed to transformed back into XMLs as a response to the request.

The scope of the project was to read the objects over CORBA architecture

from a GUI application (developed in VB/Visual C++) and transform these

objects to generate XMLs using C programs and LEIF concepts to be fed to

the exposed web services and convert the response back in to the Objects

and transfer to the GUI applications back on CORBA architecture to display

the results of the request to the end users.

conversion modules for the purpose of converting objects in XMLs and vice-

versa.

. Designing the schema definitions to match the formats of the exposed web

services.

. Designing the C++ classes to in an effort to keep the code and business
