Employment History
|
| Senior Java Developer |
October 2010 to Present
|
|
Working on the java team providing a layer between the IBM AS400 iSeries database and the front end (ciboodle, .net and others).
The java team provides a series of soap interface for the front end clients to call, the message is processed by mule and converted into the Java classes which are pushed into the iSeries database and a response returned to the front end.
I have worked on a number of successful projects, some of which I have been the only developer. Recent work includes integrating between third party clients using third party request and response messages and creating custom adapters for third parties to get information from the iSeries database. Also a project to allow a message from the iSeries to be priced on an insurers own pricing system by calling their web service across the internet.
There have also been a few small projects I have worked on, for example, creating a service catalogue which details all the web services available for the front end clients to call, along with information about each service and its status.
