I am a software architect, a public speaker, an author and a mentor with over 10 years of experience in the computer industry.
I have demonstrated success leading both small and large teams through a variety of development activities,
including design, development, implementation and operation of innovative applications and state-of-the-art development
and production environment. Extensive knowledge of Internet and Web technologies, middleware development,
client/server application development, software process improvement, and object oriented design and development.
I have designed and developed systems ranging from as simple as
stand-alone applications with a nice GUI front-end to multi-tiered web architectures that
require sub-second response time with a high degree of scalability, manageability,
availability, security, and performance. I have played different roles in numerous
projects including mentor, lead architect, and developer. My expertise includes:

Accomplishments: |

Synametrics Technologies. - Jamesburg,
NJ |
|
Chief Software Architect |
|
Being the chief software architect, I am ultimately responsible for
all software developed
by the company. I have not only designed these programs but in certain cases have even implemented the design.
Here is a list of projects that I am responsible for.
- Synametrics Web Site - includes a back-end implemented in Java
- WinSQL - a database client used by over 150,000 users world wide
- WinSQL for JDBC- Similar to WinSQL but targetted towards the Java community
- StressIT - A robust load/stress testing suite for dynamic web sites
- DB Architect - Generates Java code in matter of minutes to access database objects
|

| May 00 - May 03 |
Sun Microsystems - New York, NY |
|
Java Architect (Sun PS, Java Practice) |
|
Being an Java Architect I was responsible for
recognizing major architectural issues and trade-off faced when designing an enterprise
solution. I followed the Rational
Unified Process as the primary methodology in every project. Beside RUP, gained
experience in practicing Object Oriented design patterns using different technologies in
J2EE like EJB, Servlets, CORBA and more. At Sun, I worked on the following projects.
|
|
CVS/Pharmacy - Helped CVS build their next generation web-centric
Java excellency center, which included many frameworks serving as a base work for their future
application. I was responsible for the Logging and Configuration framework. |
|
|
United Healthcare - I was involved in the elaboration
phase in the project where I designed a few use-cases that were related to security and
infrastructure services. In this project Sun helped United Healthcare to setup their B2B
infrastructure that they would use in all their future projects. I was involved in setting
guidelines for logging and exception handling as well as authentication and authorization
of client coming through B2B as well as B2C channels. |
|
|
Prudential Securities – Worked as a mentor and
helped their engineering team to solve performance problems that were related to IBM DB2
and WebSphere. These performance enhancements to their system significantly improved the
response time, which was brought down from minutes to a couple of seconds. |
|
|
Chase Manhattan Bank - Helped Chase in migrating to their
new Security architecture which uses Single Sign-on for their clients. I used Entrust's
getAccess and extended its capabilities to meet the client's need. |
|
|
Carrier.com - Worked on Carrier.com web site that is
based on J2EE architecture. It uses Intershop's Enfinity as the application server. I was
involved in the construction phase of this project where I designed and implemented a
couple of use-cases. These implementations required me to create Enterprise Java Beans
which were used by different clients within the system. |
|
|
System Arts - Worked as a mentor and helped other
engineers on the team to refine and fine tune the design of a project from performance and
scalability perspective. Besides other functional requirements, this project demanded a
very short response time from the system. This system allowed users to buy and
sell stocks in different markets including NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, and others. I helped the
client to modify their design to effectively use thread pools, database access mechanisms
and JMS. This change in design reduced the system response time from minutes to
milliseconds. The end solution was not only fast but also robust and scalable. |
|
|
Performance Tuning engagements - Besides working on full projects,
I also worked on several performance tunning engagements. Below is a partial list.
- Bank of New York
- Citi Group
- Putnum Investments
- GE
- Penske
- Freddie Mac

Dun & Bradstreet Corp. - Parsippany,
NJ |
|
Senior System Architect |
|
As a System Architect, I was responsible for integrating
D&B Connect with our clients system. Dun & Bradstreet has a large database that
maintains financial, marketing and non-marketing information for over 53 million companies
world wide. This information is then leased to other companies to help them make better
decisions in their business planning. This data is exposed to the clients by using CORBA
objects and it is based on a multi-tier architecture with number of servers and clients.
D&B Connect exposes an API that can be used with different clients. I was responsible
for integrating this API with our client's existing system. Since every clients has
different rules for their business logic and architecture, my job was to come up with a
solution that would best fit their environment and need. Our clients include AT&T,
IBM, Lucent, MCI WorldCom, Sprint, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, HP, Sun Microsystems and more.
I gained tremendous experience in creating and implement CORBA IDLs in both Java and C++
using ORB's from different vendors including IONA, Visigenic, and Sun. Besides working
with CORBA. Moreover, I wrote wrapper DLLs on NT that makes programs like Visual Basic and
PowerBuilder use these objects.

Summit Data Group - Somerset, NJ |
|
Software Engineer |
|
Worked on a project for IUOE (International Union of
Operating Engineers) in Fort Washington, PA. My responsibilities as a design leader, were
to port an old database that was using Informix 3.0 on an AT&T machine to a
Client/Server environment
Completed a project for Journal of Commerce in Phillipsburg New Jersey. The project was
designed to help the user switch from their old flat file based database to a
client/server environment using Informix on HP-UX at the back end database and a Windows
based application at the front end.
In 1996 I completed a project for AT&T in Plainfield New Jersey, and helped the client
automate their reporting capabilities for their newly introduced Internet service,
WorldNet Dial.
