Curriculum Vitae/netcetera 1 Netcetera AG {!Curriculum Vitae/netcetera/overview} 1.1 Important Projects 1.1.1 PASS/iGate {link:SIX Card Solutions|http://www.six-card-solutions.com/} is developing credit and debit card processing software for the european market. Huge amounts of card transactions are processed every day by the {link:Acquiring Processing|http://www.six-card-solutions.com/EN/Banks/Acquiring-Processing/} and {link:Issuing Processing|http://www.six-card-solutions.com/EN/Banks/Issuing-Processing/} applications. - __Technologies__ JavaEE, Spring, Maven 2, JBoss, Oracle, Batch Processing, Eclipse RCP - __Functions__ Core + Framework Development, Tec-Lead, Architect - __Duration__ 2005-04 - now - __Success__ PASS in Java performs better than with Forté, three presentations at Jazoon. __Details__ Starting with a migration project of a Forté based application to a new platform Netcetera had to convince key people that Java would be the right tool to do the job. Luckily the initial idea of migrating code with code translators was abandoned. This resulted in a cleaned up, fast implementation of the PASS system. In a second phase a large european customer is implementing it's next generation acquiring and issuing processing system with the help of SIX Card Solutions. I have the chance to serve as a software architect for both parts, trying to keep them in line. 1.1.1 Architect FinTop (UBS) FinTop is a web-based application covering large parts of the financial advisory process at {link:UBS|http://www.ubs.com/}. - __Technologies__ Java Servlet, JDBC, FOP, Oracle, WSAD - __Functions__ Architect, Development, Testing - __Duration__ 2004-06 - 2004-12 __Details__ During a consulting assignment of netcetera at UBS I replaced the application architect of the FinTop project during his internal stage. My tasks included maintenance of the application framework; implementation of new application framework features; persistency-layer redesign; Java and WSAD support; introduction and maintenance of a project wiki. 1.1.1 Webis Webis enables a highly configurable but generic and browser based access to a relational database. - __Technologies__ Java Servlets, JDBC, JAXB, XSL, different DBs - __Functions__ Tec-Lead, Development, Testing, Documentation - __Duration__ 2003-12 - 2004-01 - __Success__ BOF @JavaOne 2004 __Details__ Webis is frequently used within netcetera projects for either backoffice GUIs or admin-interfaces. The framework allows the definition of a database schema in XML. Based on the XML schema, a browser based access to the DB is provided. Further configurations allow the implementation of permissions, profiles and views. My tasks included specification of features; design and implementation of the application; testing; documentation and setting up several production projects that use Webis as a backoffice application ({link:Pathfinder|http://www.pfndr.org/}, {link:inside-it.ch|http://www.inside-it.ch/}). A great reward for the efforts was the possibility to present the work at JavaOne 04 in a BOF session and to get positive feedback from other Java professionals there. 1.1.1 Pathfinder {link:Pathfinder|http://www.pfndr.org/} is in use as an internet based collaboration platform to plan international train connections for the european railways. - __Technologies__ Java Servlets, JDBC, Ant, XSL, FOP, RPM, Linux, Apache, Tomcat, Oracle - __Functions__ Co-Tec-Lead, Development, Testing, Build Process, Production Setup, DBA - __Duration__ 2002-06 - 2004-05 - __Success__ {link:Swiss-IT-Award 2004|http://netcetera.ch/news.html?newsid=nca-20040903} __Details__ This completely open-source based solution was implemented by a team of netcetera engineers I had the chance to co-lead. The servlet components use the netcetera webapp-framework "Jaffa/Juice". My tasks involved design and implementation of a small rendering framework; design and implementation of the persistency layer; major implementation tasks on the application itself; build process enhancements using Ant; script based DB-setup; setup of deployment using RPM and finally bringing the application productive on the linux servers and handing it over to our operations team. During the two-year period we implemented more than a dozen iterations that were reviewed by the customer on a regular base. We are very proud of the fact that we were on time, on budget, on spec and won the Swiss-IT-Award 2004 in the category 'Project'. 2010-08-31 17:26:52.015 2004-10-01 21:48:00.79
