Stuart Moorfoot’s Summary

Over the past 15 years I've been involved in a number of ground-up, full lifecycle projects, all within the financial services industry. I've been involved in building significant parts of systems ranging from Risk Management and Trading Systems for the Wholesale Banking sector to Account management and Branch sales for Retail Banking. The most recent development efforts have been within the Insurance industry, building Policy Admin, Illustration and Receipting systems.

I was part of the core development effort for the Value Flow System, which is a financial services meta-system applicable to a range of financial instruments and environments. This system is successfully deployed to Commercial Union (Polska) as their primary strategic Policy Admin system for a range of their products, including one of their flagship Universal Life products.

Stuart Moorfoot’s Experience

• Lead Developer

  Telstra/Sensis PL

  (Computer Software industry)

  September 2008 — Present (1 year 3 months)

  Lead Developer on Sensis's $100 million integration project known as "Morph". My role in this project was overseeing the implementation of the downstream transformation for a specific product stream (Citysearch) and coordinating with product stake holders. Citysearch is a J2EE implementation using Spring with Hibernate backing onto an Oracle (10g) RAC. The core of the Citysearch application is based around a metadata-driven CMS (Fatwire) with data access facilitated by load-balanced FAST Data Services instances. The application logic is deployed to a Weblogic Application Sever cluster and the user-services component is a JSP-centric web application, served by a load-balanced apache cluster. My role within the Citysearch itself has been to design and implement an abstraction layer for the FAST Data Services and to redesign and implement data ingestion to the CMS from external data services providers (the raw data content of the Citysearch CMS) via XML transformation (XSLT) and data aggregation for services such as Geocoding and map data integration (via SOAP). The Citysearch project is run as an Agile project with a heavy TDD focus using JUnit, Cucumber and Hudson
