OKWCC Case Management System

https://caseok.wcc.ok.gov/
An integrated case management system (CMS) that is gradually replacing manual processes for the OKWCC, the government agency adjudicating injured workers' cases. Oklahoma workers and employers who wish to dispute a worker's compensation claim can file a case online using this CMS.

I guided and monitored a team while working as the project's IT architect within a 20-member squad, operating in a rapid development and deployment environment using Agile methodologies. I worked closely with our customers and analyzed requirements. I also defined the ETL framework, which pulls, converts, and adds 15 years of data to the new WCC system from the WCIS and NCCI. I then designed and maintained relational and dimensional data models, developed Spring Batch jobs for internal use, and built high-performance Spring RESTful web services using Jersey.

Parallon's Appeal Assistance Process

An automated internal process for Parallon's Claim Denial Department, which fetches denial data from various source systems and bundles the data with the appeal package.

I was the lead Java developer and product owner, working with 20 other members on the project in a rapid development and deployment environment using Agile methodologies. I developed the SOA for internal use, building and managing over 30 web services and actively engaging as part of the business intelligence team. Face-to-face interaction was the preferred communication. I worked closely with our customers to analyze requirements, define and map the high-level architectural design, and maintain relational and dimensional data models. I then built high-performance Spring RESTful web services with Jersey and used TeamCity and Marathon to manage the project build and deployment in multiple development, test, and production servers.

PICA Insurance Products

https://www.picagroup.com/
A continuous and incremental development of PICA Group's products to support internal departments, agents, and customers. The company is gradually automating its services, such as selling customer policies and managing policyholders and claims, emphasizing Agile development practices and software craftsmanship.

As a senior software engineer for PICA Group, Franklin, Tennessee, I contributed to the incremental development and handled bug fixes, deployments, meetings, and other tasks to advance the project. I also worked closely with customers, conducted face-to-face interaction as preferred, and cooperated daily with team members in open and collaborative workspaces.

Ministry Grid Training Platform

https://ministrygrid.com/training/
A customizable platform designed to help churches develop leaders in various areas of service, covering every topic a church needs to train all kinds of ministers effectively. Ministry Grid makes content available to leaders anytime, anywhere, while giving pastors and other leaders unprecedented insight into how their people learn.

I contributed as a senior programmer analyst for Lifeway Christian Resources, Nashville, Tennessee. I developed cross-browser compatible Liferay portlets with 48 screens using Spring MVC, JSF, Ajax, JSP, HTML, and CSS. I also built high-performance RESTful web services with Jersey for Android, iOS, and Kindle apps to separate business complexity from the mobile application.

For this project, I developed portlet controllers using Spring MVC and JSF and added JSP views. Then, I wired the Spring services with the controllers, built WAR files, and deployed the WARS in the Liferay-Tomcat server. I implemented middleware services to manage images, videos, PDFs, and DOCs stored in the database or cloud; Liferay portlets called on these services to display the digital assets.

FedEx Common Data Service

An enterprise service framework that provides a set of operations to the managed data stored in XML format. The common data service (CDS) uses Oracle CAD as its primary database, and its data storage paradigm is based on XML document storage rather than a traditional relational database management system and normalized table structures.

I contributed as a senior programmer analyst for FedEx World Technology Center, Collierville, Tennessee. I built custom components for the developers, redefined the architecture for the CDS dashboard portal, and implemented Spring Security for web tier access protection. I also developed online screens using JSF, integrated with the Spring Framework for dependency injection.

In addition, I built XHTML pages as views and backed beans as controllers using JSF and Spring Core. I contributed to designing and implementing web service client apps by generating client classes using Jakarta XML Binding and SOAP-based standards for messaging. I also applied design patterns such as singleton, factory, and MVC and used the JMS publish/subscribe model for asynchronous interactions with other systems. I then compiled the enterprise app and created the WAR files using the Ant and Maven build tools.

Netvantage Cross-platform Solution for Toys "R" Us

A web-integrated system allowing retailers to streamline and increase the effectiveness of item-driven promotions. Netvantage pioneers a paperless, cross-platform solution for sales and brand analysis, ad planning, digital asset management, and web-based workflow management. It gives merchandisers immediate control over product selection and event planning and includes a web-based, collaborative solution for image review, page approval, and job tracking.

I engaged as a senior software engineer for Toys "R" Us, USA, as part of a 14-member team, contributing to the architecture, requirements gathering, analysis, detailed design, class and flow diagram preparations, and system implementation. In daily Scrum meetings, I interacted with the US team to analyze requirements and map them to design. I then developed the application using JSF, RichFaces, Servlet, JSP, JSTL, and Ajax with DWR on the presentation layer. I also built the business layer using Spring and the persistent layer using iBATIS.
