The web site

Technologies: , , , , , , ,

As part of my work at CGI, I participated in a project at Aimia (Aeroplan) to help create a service that evaluates the value of an Aeroplan reward versus the requested item (airplane flights). This is right after phase 2.

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze business needs versus data that can be obtained and used.
  • Develop business rules based on available data.
  • Design and develop a part of the solution.

Specifics:

  • Application using Java and Spring Source.
  • Create jUnits tests for everything that is developed.
  • Improve some unit tests written previously to use the Spring tools.
  • Improve error handling because some problems were added by changing the tactics between phases 1 and 2.
  • Improve the orchestration of the solution since it became too big after the additions of features.
  • Document the possibility of having a tool that continuously tests the new code compared to the production one.

As part of my work at CGI, I participated in a project at Aimia (Aeroplan) to help create a service that evaluates the value of an Aeroplan reward versus the requested item (airplane flights). This is right after phase 1. Phase 2 is to have a job that checks all new bookings of flights and adds those that have not worked or were not found. It adds all the entries in the queue.

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze business needs versus data that can be obtained and used.
  • Develop business rules based on available data.
  • Design and develop a part of the solution.

Specifics:

  • Application using Java and Spring Source.
  • Create jUnits tests for everything that is developed.
  • Create the database DAO for DB2:
    • Create the domain objects classes.
    • Use JDBC Template with RowMappers to read data.
    • Use JDBC Template to write, update and delete the data.
  • Create REST web service and client to:
    • list all bookings to be added to the queue.
    • change a reservation state to tell if it was audited or not.
  • Change some business rules from the analysis of data by the auditors.
  • Add functionality to the web application to help test manually:
    • Possible to obtain the data production in batch and zip them for use with a Mock.
    • Display the content of the new table that lists unaudited bookings.

On the side:

  • Create a Perl script to generate a file containing the airports and their cities to fix an issue in another system that impacts on the audit.

As part of my work at CGI, I participated in the creation of a web application to allow graduate students to apply for master or doctorate.

Version 0 is a rapid development to cover some parts of the process:

  • Allow people to support the candidacy of an applicant by uploading a file.
  • Enable internal reviewers to McGill as external reviewers to search and visualize the applications according to their permissions.
  • Allow McGill coordinators to manage permissions.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage and follow tasks for the team.
  • Create files for the installation of the database, configuration and deployment of the package.
  • Deploy the application to the test environment.
  • Guide and answer questions from testers.

Specifics:

  • Grails Application.
  • Secure access to the application using Spring security (local database and LDAP for internal reviewers).
  • Implement a system that locks people trying to connect several times with an invalid password. They are blocked for one hour.
  • Encrypt all passwords in the configuration file.
  • Manage the external reviewers (create, assign applications to look at, change their password).
  • Communicate with a SOAP web service to save uploaded documents to Documentum.
  • Daily jobs to notify and remind referees by e-mail for applications that the system waits for their response.
  • The internal and external reviewers can search and view the applications assigned to them by departments and applications list.
