Employment:
03/2015 - 09/17:
Developer III
• Working with a team to expand, enhance and maintain an extensive software system for managing employees in Call Centers in 50 countries. The CCMS system is distributed, multilingual, requires utmost attention to data safety (personal information and human resources information) and has to be extremely robust to collect real time data from time clocks. The Software runs on the internationally distributed and redundant Linux servers to provide fail-over. Web based front end has to support many languages, local formats for dates, currencies, addresses, etc. The back end consists of distributed database system (mainly MySQL and Sybase) that have to promptly respond to queries from clients around the world. The servers also run exhausting batch jobs to process payroll, statistics, benefits, work sheets, human resources data, tax information, employee infractions, and so on. It is a few million lines of perl code (some of it a legacy perl), shell scripting, database maintenance code, web page templates, CSS, JavaScript, PHP. Java, plus a large number of configuration and customization files for different locations and departments. The Call Centers and Customer Support is a fast moving and changing industry that has to keep pace with changing access technologies (desktop vs mobile) so developers have to quickly respond to requests for additions, extensions, modifications and bug fixes. Recently the software development is also distributed with groups in Europe, India and Philippines.
03/2014 - 12/14:
Software Developer
Working for TEKsystems on a contract for Nationwide Insurance. Nationwide is in the process of expanding and upgrading their network security infrastructure. This requires (re)programming of scores of newer and older security devices like firewalls and load balancers. The newer F5 Global Traffic Manager (GTM) devices are being added on top of existing CISCO ACE firewalls. Programming these appliances is cumbersome, to say the least. Using the GUIs is very slow and prone to human errors. I created the Web based portal that takes the "human" based input (IP addresses, Ports, Protocols, balancing methods, TTL, etc.), performs extensive validation, and converts it to cut and paste commands for GTM and LTM F5 appliances. It reduces the task of analyzing the user request and implementing it on the device from a day to a few minutes (of course, I do not include the approvals and prioritetizing -- this is an essential organizational rather than technical issue). The side track to this assignment is supporting the migration of the Request Tracker software that needs be moved from the Linux systems that reached "end of life" to the latest Red Hat Linux. The RT is being used to track user requests, request review and approval, and the workflow for the team. It would not be that complicated, but the previous development introduced about 100k lines of undocumented custom code that does not adhere to the RT API. Moreover, the older code assumes perl 5.8.* and is not compatible with the modern perl 5.10 and greater (I personally compiled the 5.18.2 perl as a development platform, so it lasts for a few years). I also created the whole project as a localized distribution with its own libraries, perl compiler and configuration files, so it does not interfere with other services that run of the server and uses only the basic system-wide installation. This was done to ease deployment and the future migrations of the software. The project requires not only the EXPERT knowledge of perl minutia, the back and front end web development, but also good grounding in network security.
03/2013 - 12/13:
Software Developer
Working for the 2Checkout.com Credit Card Payment Provider. Company is a fast growing provider for international community of vendors and offers them a range of flexible forms of payments for Americas, Europe Asia. The 2Checkout receiced a major injection of capital from its investors and widens its scope of services and customers. The rapid growth of this sector is an opportunity and a challenge. Providing it globally worldwide is also extremely complex. The verying legal environment, different specs for interaction with payment gateways and acquiring banks, complex routes and multilingual requirements translate to the need of flexible software architecture. The need for security and reliability demands strict practices and separation of development and production environments (a PCI compliance certification demand). The redunant processing and diseaster recovery makes it even harder. And on top of this, the integration of sellers' web sites and shopping carts has to be seamless and simple. I am mainly working on complex Front End issues (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/Query and Ajax), middle tier software (perl, mod_perl, Catalyst Apache, Template Toolkit and Java) and the backend (Model) is a farm of large installations of MySQL servers. Individual developers run Vagrant Virtual Machines (Linux boxes) under Windows/PC or OSX/MacBooks laptops. The github and git is used for version control. VersionOne is a primary engine for Agile software development.

In a nutshell, the system requests the description of the problem in science terms from the user and converts those needs transparently into a series of appropriate communication and computational tasks. While user can edit the resulting scripts before actual job submission, the defaults are most likely adequate.
