WORK HISTORY
July, 1997 - Aug, 2003 –China Construction Bank (CCB), Shanghai, P.R.C
Project: Core Commercial Bank system
Title: Software Engineer and System Analyst (SA), SA leader
- I was the main designer of agent (AG) subsystem, which is one of the eight subsystems. My contribution
included: business flow and regulation analysis, system performance analysis and optimization, system
architecture design, database design, programming, testing plan and testing case design, and system
promotion. The testing phase included: module test, function test, integration test, and pressure test.
- I was the one of the youngest system analyst group leaders. My contribution included: work plan design,
work plan arrangement and implementation, personal communication, customer service and support.
- Core Commercial Bank system was one of the largest software projects in China, 1990’s. All of my work
was supervised by IBM, China. This system is in production environment of CCB, China.
