UI developer, architect, QA, and the scrum master throughout the project. Created RESTful service layer

(JBoss) to the spec with HTTP and SOAP interfaces using Axis to downstream services. Coded 70-80% of

the overall project code, 12,000 LOCs in 5 months with 73% of JUnit test coverage of the entire service

layer. Applied TDD. Tested for memory leaks using VisualVM. Tested performance using JMeter.

fixed the application bottleneck by speeding up of performance of the JDBC SQL queries. Trained the

quality control team (product architecture and product testing) and developers (Crucible). Proposed unique

solution for data overestimation error. The solution was chosen for extensive testing for accuracy. Captured

requirements, authored epic and child user stories with requirements and acceptance criteria. Self-initiated,

paved the way for faster CSI issue resolution by reaching out to one of the AT&T Sr. Technical Directors,

got the team to accept and use the new issue resolution process minimizing team’s ongoing frustration with

CSI interface issues. Made a recommendation for setting up automated tests in order to minimize team's
