Senior Programmer/Analyst

  • Completed approximately 120 defect or enhancement tickets, of which 6 were extensive UI to backend feature enhancements or major business process flow changes.
  • On average, about thirty five percent effort was at the UI level using Struts/JSP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML doing everything from minor addition of a button and JavaScript control to major page redesign or restructuring.
  • About sixty percent effort was in the server side java business objects using JUnit/MockObjects where appropriate. Many times, work required creation of new controller Action classes and associated helper object graphs. Where reasonable and possible, I tried to incorporate strategy, command, and factory design patterns as there were few interfaces or use of polymorphism in these systems.
  • The remaining five percent of my time was either using JDBC or making adjustments to existing SQL.
