To enhance the use experience of the commonly used screens (containing lots of control) of our product. The screens were modified to have an accordion type of menus so that the screen can be divided into logical parts. A custom control was created to cater the need of this. The control renders the items dynamically and used MVVM design pattern.
Title: Shared Branch Mandate.
Team Size: 2
This project builds on the existing functionality of our product to transfer funds between two accounts of a credit union which is part of a shared branch network. We enhanced it to enable our product to transfer funds across two different credit unions. My responsibilities were to understand the requirements from the product team, do the feasibility study, prepare the story board provide the ETA, followed by development and unit testing
My responsibility involved primarily making PL-SQL changes and minor C# changes in the application. My task was to gather the complete understanding of the proposed changes, do the impact analysis do the code changes and perform unit testing.
Regulation E provides a basic framework that establishes the rights, liabilities, and responsibilities of participants in electronic fund transfer systems. The product had to be modified as per the Regulations guidelines. This involved changing the UI as well as the back end of the application
In this task my job was to indentify the probable areas for increasing the performance. Find the root cause of the problem and provide the PoC and then solution for same. This required me to change the UI part.
As the product evolves and the client tale increases, performance of the product is considered one of the major marketing tools. I was the part of the team formed to increase the performance of the product. This involved us to use various tools like WireShark, Memory profiler, JetBrain’s dotTrace to find the area which had performance issues and provide the solution to increase the performance
Product is based on Client server architecture, where the business objects reside on the server. Earlier to WCF, the product was using web services for exposing the business objects to client (based on CSLA architecture).This project was taken as performance enhancement task to achieve a greater level of compression of data transferred over the wire. Conventional web services use Base64 encoding to transfer where as the WCF services uses MTOM encoding, by using WCF we were able to achieve 25% (approx) reduction in the data transferred over the network.
Title: Validation Rules
