PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I. SBI and Company, Inc
. 09-2001 till dateSenior Technical Architect
After joining SBI, a new position called Practice Director was created for me.
I worked in a client engagement in American Airlines Corporation, as a Senior Enterprise
Architect, from 12-02-2002 till 12-17-2003.
During the tenure at American Airlines Corporation, I was chosen as the Senior Enterprise
Architect for all the M&E (Maintenance and Engineering) projects. I completed the
architecture work for twelve (12) projects which involved multifarious platforms. I also
trained the professionals at American Airlines on the practical usage of UML, MDA, ADL,
MOF, CWM and BPM by using various tools like Rational Enterprise Suite, Together Control
Center, Enterprise Architect, System Architect and Mega Architecture Suite. I helped
American Airlines stakeholders realize the value of doing business process modeling,
enterprise architecture framework creation, common object repository creation and
enterprise integration (EAI, BI and CWM) work. All my projects were successfully delivered
to the internal stakeholders.
Before the engagement at American Airlines, I completed a client project with Duke Energy
Corporation in Texas. I was the Chief Architect of a Duke Energy infrastructure system, in
which we used a complete model-driven architecture, for creating the Metadata Repository
plus a Communication Framework that could be used by any other system. The creation of the
Metadata Repository was done with extensive architecture models incorporating MOF (Meta
Object Facility), CWM (Common Warehouse Meta-modeling) and EDOC (Enterprise Distributed
Object Computing). The Metadata Repository was designed to be platform independent. It was
then transformed so as to work with any platform-specific environment that the client had
chosen. The proof of concept was done with Oracle DW and Meta-matrix servers.
I was also responsible for helping SBI vis--vis various EAI (Enterprise Application
Integration) and B2Bi (Business-to-Business integration) project bids. Currently, we have
five different prospects that are interested in EAI, BI (Business Intelligence), Metadata
Repositories, Meta Object Facilities and Componentware.
I have helped in setting up stable test installations/environments for Microsoft's latest
suite of tools based upon the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network). The latest version of
MSDN Universal Subscription has all the tools for enterprise development: modeling kits,
BizTalk Server 2002 with SQL Server 2000, Share Point Portal Server, Visual Studio.NET
Enterprise, Office XP Developer edition, Enterprise tools for C#, Java, FoxPro, Visual
Basic, C++ and the like.
In a similar manner, I have helped in setting up stable test installations/environments
for IBM's WAS (WebSphere Application Server), WSSAD (WebSphere Studio Application
Developer), WebSphere MQ Series, WebSphere MQ Integrator, WebSphere Process Manager,
Visual Age for Java/C++/Smalltalk, WebSphere Business Components/Frameworks and the
complete range of XML-driven web-service layers of the WAS.
I have trained the employees of SBI vis--vis Project Management, UP (Unified Process)
and the UML (Unified Modeling Language). I have also helped the employees of SBI become
familiar with Rational's tool sets like RUP (Rational Unified Process) software, XDE and
Rose Enterprise edition.
