Experience

Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS)

Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) is a type of enterprise software integrated with the SCADA system and used by electric companies to monitor and control power grids. The software helps electric companies optimize production and consumption, predict some events in the power grid, and automatically respond to specific events to supply end clients with stable electric power, even in case of outages.

Since the software is a part of critical infrastructure, it must have the highest availability and reliability. As a software developer and architect, I developed and designed several system components.

Web Application for Data Processing

I developed a web application that ingests various types of information, extracts data that the system is interested in, and maps it to specific business entities. This data is later enriched with other information gathered from different sources and transformed into a format that users can easily manipulate.

Integration Service

I developed a web service that integrates with a cloud platform and cloud service provider (CSP) in a way that enables the cloud platform to offer CSP products to customers automatically and to automatically execute, in a CSP environment, actions issued by platform customers.

Payroll Processing System

Cloud-based payroll processing system for calculating and generating paychecks for tens of thousands of clients and millions of employees. Microservice architecture with Web APIs, Azure Functions, and SQL Server for data persistency.
