Work History
Position: Senior Java Developer
Java development based on the Alfresco CMS system. Work to adapt and extend the application according to company needs. Technology used include Java, Javascript, REST web services, Spring, ExtJS and JUnit.
Postion: Senior Java Developer
Development, maintenance, support and administration of a production and order management system for a major bakery chain, based in Quebec. Technologies used include Java, Hibernate, WebStart, Web Services (GLUE, SOAP, HTTP) and Subversion.
As second responsibility, development of the Aeroplan web site, using XSLT, XML, Apache, Tomcat, CVS and Java.
Position: Senior Java Developer
Development and maintenance of a web based marketing solution, allowing doctors to view presentations of new medicines, with or without the assistance of a representative. Additionally development and maintenance of related reporting tools. Technologies used include Java, Stuts, Tomcat, Linux and CruiseControl.
Position: Java & C/C++ application developer
Development of an ‘entity management system’ for MEMS based telephone switches, destined for use by large telecom companies in their telephone exchanges. The software was written in Java and involved development of the core API, using RMI, and using Struts for development of the web interface, with some Javascript, ensuring cross- browser functionality. The front end was deployed on Sun One Web servers running on Sun Solaris systems, using an Oracle database. Additionally worked on an embedded C/C++ project, for a MEMS based, ‘street-cabinet’ solution, using eCos and SNMP.
Development of a restaurant reservation system. Technologies used include HSQLDB, MySQL, Jetty, Tomcat and J2EE
Position: Java application developer
Development of a connectivity solution, allowing travel agents to connect directly to various hotel reservation systems, to perform reservations and inventory checks. This was implemented using a combination of Java, Weblogic and SOAP, with the system acting as a routing agent for the communications. Later on this was modified to fit the needs of Expedia, to allow them to be the sole client connecting directly to the hotel systems, using the OpenTravel Alliance specification. The system was designed to allow a fallback to fax, after all failovers (message store/forward, retries...) were exceeded. Additionally test tools were developed, to allow both in-house developers and hotel partners to test their communications for protocol correctness according to OTA specifications, proper error handling and load handling.
Position: Smalltalk developer
Development and maintenance of cable billing software, in Smalltalk.
Position: Java developer
Development of an architecture, for a software solution, destined for the telecommunications industry. This also included development of prototypes to validate certain technologies and concepts.
Position: Java application developer
Development of a graphical language editor, using a Swing GUI, for creating ‘scenarios’ designed to add new functionality to telephony services. The resulting ‘scenarios’ were then run using a corresponding runtime environment, using TAPI, designed to work on iPBXs. Additional tasks included development of shell scripts required to launch the application under Solaris, and other Unix implementations. Also covered JNDI, servlets and Apache.
Position: C++ and Java developer
Development of a distributed application, based on agents, for the detection of CAD-CAM related ‘interferences’ in models developed using Catia (Dassault Systemes). The application was written in C/C++, with a Swing based Java front end. The distributed communication was handled using CORBA. I also supported the client at Boeing, both by phone and on site.
Project administration in the information technology department: compiling the weekly time sheets, creation of software tools.
