IBM MQSI
2.1 to WebSphere 5.0 Conversion : Developed methods to facilitate the company-wide conversion of existing MQSI 2.1 messages flows in IBM s WebSphere WBI 5.0 environment on Unix and Windows 2000.

XML/XSLT Transformation : Developed native XSLT stylesheets used in the transformation of XML documents to and from EDI and legacy formats. Worked with IWay transformation adapters in WBI 5.0 and MQSI 2.1 used to convert to and from EDI and XML formats.

Custom C/C++ MQ Development : Developed code to manipulate messages on MQ queues. This code was written to be portable between Unix and Windows. Also worked on custom MQ channel security exits.

Perl MQ Utility Suite Development : Developed custom Perl modules to facilitate the verification, archiving and recovery of MQ messages.

Sybase PatriotAct Development : Developed custom Biztracker and NEON Rules and Formatter modules to monitor messages being processed by the Sybase PatriotAct software. This system would allow for reprocessing of messages.

December, 2001 -  July, 2003
Senior Application Developer

Healthcare Insurance Environment : Unix/NT using the WebSphere product suite. Responsible for the design and implementation of WMQI message flows, NEON Formatter/MRM formats, MQSI Custom support nodes written in C++ and external Java applications used to monitor the WebSphere MQ queues. These objects are used to transform HIPAA compliant message formats to and from existing legacy MVS, CICS health insurance formats.

Notable projects

HIPAA
Compliant Initiative : Utilized the NEON Formatter in conjunction with MQSI engine to transform messages in the EDI-X12 format into Legacy formats for processing by back-office applications.

Error Queue Monitor : Designed and implemented this Java application that allowed user to review messages held in MQ error queues and to redirect or replay the messages.

Custom MQSI Parsers and Plugins : Maintained and enhanced custom MQSI pre-process node used in the MQSI flows. Also developed a custom MQSI parser to be used in error monitoring. This parser was used in the Error Queue Monitor project.

Internal Crosswalk Database Project : This component was used in the MQSI message flows to retrieve legacy values from incoming HIPAA data. This component utilizes mainframe DB2 database and retrieves data using various stored procedures to the AIX MQSI system.

June, 1999 -  August, 2001
Distinguished Software Designer

Financial Environment : Unix/NT : Worked on various financial projects written in C/C++ for a multi-platform environment. The code is designed to be portable between Unix, Windows and the OS/390 operating environments.

Notable projects

New Era of Networks Adaptor for FIX : Client/Server project used to establish trading sessions and transfer messages using the FIX protocol to and from MQSeries queues and TCP/IP partners. This product parsed and validated FIX messages sent by the trading partners to ensure conformance to the FIX protocol specs.

Trade Connectivity Adapter TCA : Client/Server project using TCP/IP. This product is responsible for the distribution and management of messages in the Safestore data queues to and from financial exchanges. CMS messages were stored, parsed and distributed to various Safestore queues.

MVS Threading Logic : Ported to MVS various C++ class structures to support the UNIX/NT threading structures on native MVS. This required development of MVS Assembler routines for multi-threading.

Message Exchange Manager MXM : MVS CICS based C++ subsystem responsible for the distribution and management of CMS protocol messages in the Safestore data queues. These messages were parsed and processed via CICS transactions.

Porting of Safestore to UNIX and MVS : The original Safestore product was designed and written to run on the NT. This project was to port the Safestore product to MVS and UNIX platforms.

Safestore Development : MQSeries queue manager replacement product written for use on MVS and NT platforms designed to be a replacement of IBM's MQSeries product. This product supports trading systems utilizing the CMS protocol on a DB2 database instead of flat file format of MQSeries.
