technology associate resume example

•  Using Cisco's AXL API to connect to Cisco Call Manager, make changes to the Cisco desk phones in order to add the extension mobility service.
• Extension mobility feature allows user to login on the any phone in the office instead of assigning the desk phone to the particular user.
• A simple UI in spring MVC allowed the operators to call the Java spring service, which performs the operations in an asynchronous fashion and keeps the status in a simple relational database.
• This was an individual project developed and tested by me.
• The major challenge was testing since the lab environment was limited and was not mirrored with production.
• Another challenge was the AXL API provided by Cisco, which was a very old version SOAP API, and had limited documentation.
• The impact of any error was huge since any incorrect results could mean users not being able to use their desk phones.

Firewall Rules provisioning workflow automation (Goldman Sachs):

• A tool to manage change requests on hundreds of firewalls globally by creating a centralised database repository of the firewall rules configuration exposed via a web GUI for querying.
• I developed the Reconciliation module, which reconciled database every day with fresh data.
• Major challenge was dealing with such huge data sets.
• I also later worked on writing parser programs for new firewall types.

Automating BCP Failover process using JBPM (Goldman Sachs)

• BCP (Business Continuity Plan) is a regular mandatory activity performed for all critical applications in Goldman Sachs as a measure of the application's contingency plan in case of any natural disaster or a data center malfunction.
• The project was to streamline this BCP testing process in a workflow so that we reduce the amount of time it takes on emails and conference.
• We used JBPM workflow in the backend, while front end was a web UI developed in JSF 2.0 and deployed on jBoss server.
• The platform on which the tool was built was a legacy platform and was very unmanaged huge code base.
• Another challenge was to get a consensus from teams across various technology divisions globally who will be the using this tool.
