Dortmund, Germany

Software Developer

  • New development and enhancements of a B2B shop

  • Configured and supported server setup, and introduced build, release, and configuration management

  • In the project, prototypes for web services based on CXF and WSDL-first were created, which are now used to build the actual web services

  • For a new section of the online shop, a new frontend based on J6EE and JSF was created. It is embedded in the existing shop via an IFrame.

  • Access to the backend (DB, web services, other data sources) was required. To implement this modularly, I suggested an ESB.

  • Since the onboarding effort was considered very high, my alternative proposal was to implement the calls as EJB3 services.

  • As part of introducing the new technologies, the build was done with Maven. To test and evaluate the sources, Jenkins, Artifactory, and Sonar were set up and the team was shown how to use them.

  • Evaluated UML tools for code generation, including Modelio and other Eclipse-based tools, for the client
