Technical Summary of Projects

My technical expertise are very broad, I relied on my educational background, analytical skills and ability to grasp new concepts quickly to adapt to new technologies challenges.

 

Enterprise software development in distributed multi tiered environments with Databases and Directories as back ends with Java and MMC as front ends

 

Symantec Corporation( formerly BindView) 2002-2005

————————————————————————————————————-

The technical work at Symantec mainly involved architecture, design and ownership of following products and post release support and level 3 tech support. Technology used was Visual C++ and SQL server for backend

NETinventory

NETinventory is a multi-tiered distributed IT asset management legacy application having multiple servers and agents to gather and collate IT infrastructure data

Replaced BTrieve by SQL Server on the main server and by XML data files on the intermediate auditing servers. Server code was revamped balancing performance issues and data integrity.

Created MMC Snapin from scratch to incorporate NetInventory into bv-Control product line

Provided referential integrity in BTrieve database by doing a periodic sweep of the data..

Released one major and numerous hot fixes and SPs to ensure customer satisfaction.

bv-Control for NDS/eDirectory and bv-Control for NetWare

Developed detailed functional specifications by studying DirXML and ZENworks in depth and collaborating with customers( US-EPA), vendors (Novell, MySQL) and product management team. Rewrote all the generic classes to accommodate this feature in the current Architecture.

Participated in the design of Distributed Process Architecture that involved deployment of intermediate data crawler servers; critical change in architecture to align the product suit with new value proposition of bv-Control suit

Released two major releases and multiple hot fixes

bv-Control for Microsoft SQL Server

Overhauled the SQL architecture to use ADO instead of DMO for accessing meta data. Rewrote access code for most of the datasources in the product to scale it from previous limit of 25 servers to 600 servers. This attracted larger accounts like Sovereign Bank and resulted in increased yearly revenues from US$45K to US$250K

bv-Control for CheckPoint Firewall

Shipped first release with Global Policy support, CPRA and Log Analysis, this released required major changes in the Architecture. Obtained strategically important OPSEC certification to remain alliance partner with CheckPoint

Identified problems with CheckPoint library for log reporting, worked with Microsoft and CheckPoint development teams to isolate and troubleshoot the defect. Acted as beta site for the hotfix provided by CheckPoint
