WORK EXPERIENCE
Co. name
Toronto, Canada
February 14, 2000 – June 29, 2004
Systems Architect
March 2002 – June 2004
As part of the architecture team (enterprise data architects, technologist architect and myself) I was
accountable to application architect, design and implement a set of user-suitable and cost-effective software
solutions to migrate from an IBM MVS / DB2 platform into a Microsoft .NET / Oracle 9i environment. Major
duties ranged from evangelizing the executive team to the new technology up to prepare all required standards
and documentation to successfully deploy to production a Single-Sign-On portal supporting a dozen of custom
web-base Microsoft .net applications.


Provided support to the architecture team to design & develop a set of ‘proof of concept’ projects using MS
.NET technology, and produced a set of Architecture documentation and presentations to evangelize the
executive team to approve and sign off the technology migration endeavor.

Responsible to application architect and document the ‘Development Application Framework’ using MS
.NET technology. This documentation explains to developers and project managers the usage and benefit
of the MVC design pattern (e.g. interaction between the Model or Data Entity, View or GUI, and Controller
or Business layer components) to encapsulate and deploy web-based application separating the user
interface content from the business logic and from the data source access, adhering to the company
mandate of Rapid Application development mission.

Accountable to create mentorship documentation regarding standards, guidelines and best practices when
using MS .net technology to develop web-based applications.

Supported the architecture team to create mentorship documentation on how to use UML (use cases,
activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, and class diagrams).

Responsible to design and develop mentorship project samples (MS C#.NET project templates) for
developers. This documentation explains how to code and use the view, controller and model design
pattern and how to properly handle and publish errors.

Assigned to application architect, build and deploy a Single-Sign-On portal using IIS-SSL (Internet
Information Services - Secured Socket Layer) and MS .net Forms Authentication technology (I used C# as
development language). This portal, in brief, authenticates user credentials against an Oracle data source,
then authorize and personalize the appropriate access to application modules (e.g. user sees and access
only authorized application modules). Once user signs in can easily and transparently switch from one
application to another without need to sign in again. I have also designed and data modeled the
Application Security Infrastructure data source. This portal has been successfully deployed and proved in
a production environment for over two years.

Self motivated to design, code and deploy a set of re-usable C# helper components used by the developer
community to: 1) properly handled and publish errors, 2) encrypt/decrypt text (using MS Symmetric
Cryptology base classes), 3) handle and interact with XML .NET data sets, 4) properly open and close
connections and retrieve / update data from an Oracle 9i data source using different data providers (it is a
powerful Data Access Layer helper), 5) properly handle the Session context, 6) execute dos commands, 7)
run process requests asynchronously and send an email when is done.

Assigned to build and deploy portal administration services to: 1) separate the administration application
from the portal, 2) create a generic reporting module to audit access and usage, 3) create a facility to send
emails by application or by user role, 4) set up and maintain users, roles (entitlements), companies,
applications and modules (services), 5) set up and maintain user–company access relationships, 6) set up
and maintain users–roles relationships, and 7) assign, reset, password for user credentials.

Assigned to lead the development and design of a “Query Builder” web-based application under MS .net
framework to interface a “Commercial Property and Commercial Liability OLAP Service” (Online Analytical
Processing). The intention of this application is to provide users with a friendly business oriented user
interface to create no-planned queries against a Data Warehouse mart. These queries were internally
translated into “Oracle View” components that later will be executed under Crystal Report. An interesting
web control inheritance artefact was design to facilitate the implementation.

Assigned to lead the development and design of a “Download Facility” web-based application to handle
unsolicited queries from our data stores. This web-based application provides a friendly interface where
the user selects the data by business area, then selects specific fields to execute the query
asynchronously; later when the query is done the user receives an email confirming the success and
location of the query to download. Besides leading two developers, designed, coded and deployed the .NET
asynchronous process component.
