Projects and Work Experience

Apex Systems at ADP Alpharetta, GA

January 2019 – December 2019

Senior Java Developer

Working as a consultant assigned to the CRM provider (CRMP) team. Worked providing a middleware interface to Oracle’s Siebel CRM package. Written using Java Spring Boot and Camel. This product provides:

a REST interface that Siebel does not support. Siebel only supports the traditional XML Soap api’s.

In addition a framework that supports dynamically executing SQL queries and returning JSON response in in place. This allows to return read only data from the Siebel database which is much faster than returning data Via the Siebel Web Services call.

Also data from different database are accessed in order to provide a custom CRM solution.

Has a custom from end written in React in place of the traditional Siebel GUI.

All business groups needing CRM access go through the CRM provider. The CRM provider also provides security and access controls to prevent crashing Siebel and impacting other business units.

All of my work is associated on the back end code.

Strive Consulting at Equifax Alpharetta, GA

November 2017 - July 2018

Senior Software Engineer

Working as contractor involved in deconstructing monolithic app into separate Microservices written in Spring boot for each specific functionality. Is designed to provide a API gateway hosted on Azure to provide a rest API interface to be used by internal Equifax applications as well as external customers. These api’s provided information backed by all of the various data sources that Equifax has available. Some of this data was stored in Equifax’s internal databases, and some were external vendors via REST api’s. All of this information was combined to provide a single gateway of financial and personal information. The first use of this api gateway was for the Equifax Lock and Alert mobile application. The API gateway would use the mobile number sent by the mobile app to retrieve personal information to prefill the Lock and Alert for subscribing to the service. Was directly involved in designing and developing

Identity Microservice that connected to 2 different vendors to retrieve Customer information from Cell phone carriers.

Log aggregation custom appender to send application logs using standard Springboot logging messages to Azure Service bus. This gave the ability to aggregate the logs from all of the numerous Microservices into one common location. The logs are encrypted and stored in a Azure storage table. Encryption is a result of the resent data breach. This is one of the factors in a 12 factor application.

Configuration service using Spring cloud configuration Server to allow configuration to be stored in a relational database. Customized this to allow common information used by all applications to be provided in addition to configuration specific to each individual application. This is one of the factors in a 12 factor application.

Implemented Application dashboard supporting Spring Actuator, and wrote a custom SMS notification.

Employment verification API that interacts with legacy backend api to provide a REST/JSON response to be used in a new Equifax product offering.

Working on a new pilot project by Equifax to provide a blockchain PII (Personal Identification Information) ledger application using SecureKey to securely exchange PII information with other mobile based applications. This allows third party applications to securely request PII used for opening new accounts, New apartment rent applications, and numerous application still in development. This is a new product offering by Equifax. My part in the project involves implementing the OpenId integration with Azure Business to Consumer (B2C) active directory for application authorization and creating JSON Web Tokens (JWT) used for the interface to SecureKey.

In addition, provided mentoring to lesser experienced developers who had no previous microservice and Cloud experience.
