| Position | Analyst Programmer/Technical Lead/Technical Architect | ||
| Profile |
The Whitelabel project endeavoured to present multiple retail financial services in a generic and consistent way using best-of-breed open technologies. This n-tier system included extensive use of Apache SOAP Server, XML and WSDL, BEA Weblogic Server and several open-standards based products primarily from the Apache Project. This was a streamed development involving multiple teams working with the Business Component Development (BCD) methodology. I contributed architectural insights to the Infrastructure design team while leading the development of a prototype for the Financial Products team. Due to the withdrawal of a major purchaser of the system, the project was mothballed at the beginning of July. |
