  Professional Experience
  	Since 1st March 2004: 50% Helvetia Patria - eBusiness Center - Hohlstrasse 560 - 8048 Zurich-Alstetten (Switzerland). project VBP, connection to backend, mainly using webservices and CICS gateway. 50% Helvetia Patria Life Team, Basel (Switzerland). - Maintenance and new products development of the offering system OFEV Renten 2000 - Deployment Ofev Renten 2000 to offline using eCenter offline platform. - Migration of Raiffeisen Users to the online platform. From 1st November 2001 to 1st March 2004: eCenter Helvetia Patria - Dreikönigstrasse 12 - 8022 Zurich (Switzerland). The eBusiness Center is the first and largest project initiated by the Helvetia Patria Group.. It is directed towards realizing e-business solutions for brokers, agents and distribution partners in the different European countries. The eCenter acts as an enabler for the subsidiaries to build front-oriented e-business applications on a central platform using common standards (infrastructure HP Nimius) which are based on a common knowledge (set of methods, tools, frameworks). - J2EE development with international team members (from Germany, Spain, Italy and Switzerland) with the help of Hewlett Packard consultants and XDreamTeam - Migration from Visual Age to Eclipse R2.1 - Performance task force, develop project Onion (purpose is to determine maximum load that can support our components, profile them and do optimization where it is needed). - Develop some frameworks for the ePlatform: Workflow framework, drive users through an application, use a description language very similar to java, generate dynamically buttons definition in XML. Multi applications. Chart engine framework customized for insurance, based on Chart2D. Accept a meta description container in XML to read data. Output gif, jpeg, png. Adding a new product is done by dragging a configuration file in a directory. Design/Layout, retrieving data are configured through reusable factories. Virtual Transport (VT) framework which provide independancy of protocol (generic client ProcessIF) with the help of plugins: Soap Apache, Soap Axis, socket, local jvm. Calls are driven by controller plugins: load balancing, fault tolerant, Once, firstWorking. The responsability to choose a server among a list is done through load balancers (random, weighted round robin (WRR), round-robin (RR), least weight connection (LWC), least connection(LC) ). The error handling is done with the help of failures handlers (single, multiple failover, rethrow). Discovering of webservices and also servers is done with a load balanced and redundeant pool of UDDI registries (use also VT). Exception are dynamically rendered through exception renderer. The internal design is highly extensible(60 pages of documentation- 180 classes, 48 interfaces) - checked exception - 3 caching algorithms - Audit/history in XML - 10 factories. Container framework for holding data in bean and E3 for nimius. Automatic marshalling into XML. - OFEV migration using eCenter technology. (add nimius security, use Oracle, migration of data and users login, redundancy of compute process, refactoring (1100 classes)) - Support for projects: Helvetia Riester (DE), Helvetia Prevision Lifeoffering (SP), Helvetia Domani Pension Funds (IT), Combo (CH), OFEV (CH) - Administrator of the eCenter homepage (Intranet based on PHP-Nuke), bug tracking tool (Intranet based on Mantis).
