Capgemini

June 2005 — Present (4 years 6 months)

Working as a leading member of performance tuning and middleware design team for FSA GABRIEL project, which is used by all financial organizations in UK. The solution is delivered on Solaris using whole stack of Oracle/BEA Weblogic products (Portal, Integration, AquaLogic Service Bus, Aqualogic DSP), and my role was to recommend performance options and solutions to a client, a Financial Services Authority. My suggestions allowed increase of application load capacity for at least 30% while reducing response times by 50%.
Was leading Continuous Integration team on FSA GABRIEL project. I was responsible for leading the team of 4 people located in India, and for maintaining the successful build of a project. I help project manager to integrate parts of Agile methodology (unit testing and coverage, continuous integration) into RUP based project. I created a standard build template for nine sub-projects and to create fully automated build/release procedure of distributed SOA application for various environments. I worked close with client and solution architect in order to simplify deployment processes.
I designed business rules processing engine for Welsh European Funding Office which allowed fast execution of reusable business procedures. I worked on client facing workshops, and applied my experience to help project manager to estimate time and effort required to create secure and reliable solution for integration between Filenet Workflow Engine and Websphere backend. I also helped infrastructure team to secure Websphere 6 production environment and to do initial setup of the continuous integration environment using CruiseControl and Maven 2.0.
I worked on energy trading solution for a EDF Energy. After participating on various client workshops and working closely to PMO, I proposed three possible solutions for a client’s problem, which allowed cutting development and production costs by different degrees. The chosen solution cut production costs by 30%.
