1998-present Parsons
Transportation Group Chicago, IL Senior
Software Engineer
Evaluated operating systems and software such as CORBA, database for the Gateway system
and selected operating systems for the server environment in the Gateway system.
Collaborated in analysis and design effort for the Gateway system. Led the design effort
for designing persistence layer and message-oriented framework based on
publisher/subscriber pattern. Used Objectory methodology and UML notations to design
components in the Gateway system.
Mentored other team members and guided them in design
and technical problems.
Designed Implemented message-oriented-middleware in Java using CORBA’s event
service. Added several capabilities to the message-oriented framework such as quality of
service, filtering and typed events.
Designed and Implemented a CORBA based persistence layer in C++ under Solaris 7
platform. The persistence layer provided interface between object-oriented Versant
database and remote clients. Provided facility to automatically creation of objects and
loading state from the database and automatically garbage collecting of CORBA objects.
Designed and implemented data structure library in C++ that are thread-safe. Coded
inter-process-communication library using Posix APIs that provided object-oriented
abstraction for mutexes, semaphores, reader/writers, condition variables, threads, etc.
Responsible for administering and supporting multiple Sun, Linux and NT servers.
Responsible for configuring system software and application software. Responsible for
routine maintenance, upgrade, troubleshooting, backup and user support.
