Project Profile
Role : Coding, unit testing, integration testing and implementation
Client : Sabre Sonic Carriers
Software/Tools: TPF Assembler, SPMs, TPFDF
The main aim of this project is to have Ability to handle Alphanumeric Tax code. This will apply when the first character is alpha and the second and third are alpha or numeric. Currently, numeric is allowed as a third character in tax code. The first two characters will be the numeric. The changes are reflected in all the areas like pricing, ticketing entries, etc., where the tax code is processed.
Responsibilities:
Implemented the code in TPF as per the technical design which was designed by team.

The existing SSR Inventory tool is a web based interface that allows airlines to manage ancillary inventory via Special Service requests. This product will provide the ability to set a price or offer overrides based on customer value score or frequent flyer tier level, and creates a new feature, “search for available ancillary” which will be available to Interact and SSW
The main aim of this product is to Sell, collect payment and record the purchase for Non IATA ancillaries on Interact and Supersonic WEB2.
Ticketing will fulfill the Pre-sale of Ancillary items whenever a User requests the MISC2/5 option of the MSR/Miscellaneous Sales Receipt. That is, issue a MSR/Miscellaneous Sales Receipt for collection of fees by using any of two FOP allowed(CA,CK,CC).

Role : Coding, unit testing & Implementation
Client : Travelport GDS, USA
Software/Tools: Assembler, TPFDF
The individual tax data is available in the ETKT Record therefore should be able to populate the refund screens, enabling the agent to pick and choose which taxes should be refunded. When the subscriber retrieves the refund template from the TRNE entry, the first screen automatically populates with the basic ticket information. When selecting ‘Unused Taxes to Be Refund’ (Y), the subsequent screen should auto-populate with the tax information derived from the ETR, then be able to select the taxes to be refunded
Responsibilities:
Implemented the code in TPF as per the technical design which was designed by team.

Name: Removal of Check Digit Duration: 4 Months Team Size: 2
Project Profile
Role : Design, Coding, unit testing & Implementation
Client : Travelport GDS, USA
Software/Tools: Assembler, TPFDF
Today, TINS transactions are processed if they include14 characters (3 for the airline prefix, 10 for the ticket and one for the check digit). We would like Galileo to process void, unvoid, refund, cancel a refund when 13 or 14 characters are entered. The check digit has to be optional and process any check digit entered for all TINS transactions or process correctly by replacing the correct check digit if entered manually.
Responsibilities:
Working on Design documents.
Assembler coding and preparing test case documents.

Name: MSC Entry Duration: 2 Months Team Size: 2
Project Profile
Role : Investigation ,Design, Coding, unit testing & Implementation
Client : Travelport GDS, USA
Software/Tools: Assembler, TPFDF
Current system can only traverse through the several pages of output display (Using MD, MU, MB, and MT).Current system has no specific entry to search for a string from the output that is displayed. It’s already available with Galileo specific to only ‘OF’ entries. It was decided to have such process for Apollo core that should be used for all entries which provide more than pages of output display.
The system has to enhanced to accept the new entry with search string (MSC/<search string>/) and to bring the resulted line on to the top of the display page.
Responsibilities:
Investigating the path for the new entry and designed the documents.
Created the new entry and tested in all the paths.

4. MAINTENANCE
Dump Solving
This involves solving of dumps that occur in the production environment. This includes, analyzing the dump, re-creation of the problem, coding the fix, unit and system testing of the fix and loading the fix to production.
Functional Problem
This involves solving of functional problems like incapability of Automated block space in handling split 1 to 2 re-accommodation, etc. This includes, analyzing the problem, recreating it, coding the fix, unit and system testing of the fix and loading the fix to production.
Oncall Support
Basically production support is assigned to senior members on a rotational basis, for one week at a time. During this time, any urgent problems related to Gen-Res that are reported or called in by agents around the world, would be reported to the oncall support person, who has to provide an immediate fix/solution.
Monitor Production system
On a weekly basis analyze the dump and utility reports from production systems. Gather statistics for any fatal system errors or peak resource utilization and raise the pre-emptive flag for future execution of utilities. This way, the system is under continuous observation and statistics helps in preventing lethal process which is capable of bringing down the production system.
