Collection Data Systems

03/04 - 10/06

Senior Software Engineer, Appliance Engineer & System Administrator

Worked with a team to migrate a legacy COBOL application to Java. Created network appliances to make it easier to deploy and maintain CDS software. Improved internal network security and manageability.

• Java Development
  The Java application utilized an n-tier service oriented architecture (SOA). Postgres was the back-end database. The server tier was deployed on tomcat. Hibernate handled Object-Relational Mapping. The client tier was Swing-based. Java WebStart was used to deliver the client to the user's desktop. The Spring Framework was used to configure the system. JUnit/Cactus were used to do unit and integration testing.

• Network Appliance Engineer
  Created two network appliances based on SUSE 9.2 with a PHP-based administrative console. Both appliances ease remote management by making a customer-initiated OpenVPN connection to CDS - which doesn't require a network administrator to make a hole in the firewall.
