Work Experience

2007.02 – till present             Goldman Sachs thru Intersoft K.K. (Japan, Tokyo)

Roles:

Java/J2EE-developer

Experience:

J2EE/EJB, Core Java, JBoss, MySQL

As a member of international maltinational transcontinental team of 10 people I take part in development, programming, user interface designing internal HR Java/J2EE Web-application that will be used by HR staff to serve data of 1.500 employees of GS Japan. Development process requires extensive unit testing in close contact with the technical team lead and extensive interaction with future users of the System.

Technologies used: Java5, EJB3, JPA, Hibernate, DB2, JBoss AS, Eclipse IDE, client-server web-technologies.

2006.04 – 2007.12                 SIDC K.K. (Japan, Tokyo)

Roles:

Web-developer, Web-master

Experience:

Apache, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, XML, PHP, PHP-Pear, Perl, MySQL database

Development, programming, designing and maintaining the web-applications for Trust-Watch daily network security scanning service: www.trust-watch.jp. I was responsible to take over the process of creating a web-interface for SIDC staff to accept new customers, manage security scans, review reports and deliver them to customers through www.trust-watch.jp web-site.

This task required close interaction with security scanner developers and sales department of SIDC and working in team with them to deliver the service on schedule.

I designed and developed two parts of the web-application using PHP, MySQL, XML, HTML/CSS and JavaScript technologies. I was managing a small team of developers (1 web-designer and 1 PHP programmer). I developed SOAP web-service to interact with extrenal partner who was adding new customers to Trust-Watch web-site remotely. This task was an unexpected requirement from management and sales team, and I’m proud we quickly found the solution for this project and this new requirement didn’t break our development schedule.

Interaction between Trust-Watch front-end (web-application written in PHP) and Trust-Watch backend (network scanners written in C/C++) was based on XML-RPC code. I was responsible to design the protocol and implement it into the code. This allowed us to decouple the whole system and make it more flexible, extensible and reliable.

This Trust-Watch application now allows SIDC to accept more customers for network security auditing and to increase its market share of security services in Japan. Customers include banks, telecommunication companies, media companies and numerous IT companies.

Using this web front-end Mighty Customers are able to track bids and purchase orders from their trade partners using RosettaNET B2B protocol. All information was stored in MySQL database, B2B server was running on Tomcat and JBoss, and Linux/UNIX was primary deployment platform.

I also developed Content Management system for ADOS Customer with support of version control (CVS), XML/XSL documents (DocBook XML) conversion (using Java Batik and FOP technology) to multiple formats, business process management engine (using jBPM library) and staging – live server replication (using rsync). This application allowed Customer to store information in XM format and to search and retrieve it in any other format needed (PDF, HTML, SVG).

I joined the project at early stage and I was responsible for total design of the Worldnet Japan intranet web-site from scratch: coding, web-design, maintenance, training, documentation. The whole application was built using ASP (IIS / Windows platform), Oracle and Access was used to store content.

This task required close interaction with many departments of ML Japan:

·         Public Relations department was using intranet web-site to deliver news and articles (special web-application (Java/Tomcat/Oracle) was designed that would allow PR staff to publish news on the web-site) .

·         Human Resources department was using intranet web-site to publish announcements about courses and classes

·         Administration office was using web-site to publish day-to-day information for ML staff

·         All ML departments had some kind of presentation of what they are doing on the web-site

 

I also contacted web-masters of ML Australia and Canada and we created a global search index (using MS Indexing server) of ML intranet web-sites. This allowed ML staff to search information globally from one place. Basically, Worldnet Japan within 1 year became the first web-site everybody at ML Japan (Tokyo, Osaka) was opening at the beginning of their work day.

As a part of Core technologies team I was responsible for introduction of new technologies to ML Japan. I was responsible for integrating Xpedio/Stellent Content management system into ML intranet web-site to automate content publishing process. This would allow content producers to create content, publish it and approve it according to predefined workflow process. My skills in Xpedio/Stellent were used in Analytical department to create distribution system of analytical reports produced by ML analysts.

My web-development knowledge and good teaching skills were used by Human Resources department to teach HTML and basic web-development to ML Japan staff (approx. 150 people).
