Summary
Over 10 years working with web services and open source software.
Starting as a full stack developer then concentrating primarily on Java and integration work.
Moving to Alpharetta to build an ESB for UPS Brokerage utilizing Apache Camel to code
OSGI bundles (micro services) deployed to clustered RedHat Fuse platforms.
Integrations consisted of data transformations, caching, queueing, splitting,
content based routing, scatter-gather, SOAP, and Restful services to name a few.
Coordinating with various groups across UPS to setup Fuse, AMQ, and FTP servers in QA and
Production. Tracking status of on and off shore team members resolving obstacles to
meet project goals. This would sometimes be obtaining information from business,
coding assistance, or completing code. Currently looking to contribute to a new team.
Willing to learn any specific technologies or business processes to supplement my experience
and maximize the benefit to the organization.
