Projects:

• New Workflow Management System (NWFS): is the primary worflow management system used at the Directorate General for Regional Policy (DG Regio). It provides electronic support for the main financial and decisional procedures related to the usage of the EC funds. NWFS enables the EC to ensure full compliance with regulations and keep audit trail of each decision taken. The target architecture is aiming at reducing the time to market of the new wokflow procedures from 180 days to 60 days. To meet the requirements of distribution, scalability, interface flexibility, business service reuse and existing application integration, a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) style has been chosen. Oracle SOA suite, Oracle BPM and BPA products has been used to support a variety of processes, at several levels. The legacy systems have been integrated via integration services running in the Oracle Weblogic server.

Projects:

• Balance and Transaction Reporting (BTR): designed and implemented BTR A mission critical application capable of providing real time account information to ING cooperate customers world wide. BTR is designed to scale out of the box in order to support 180,000 bank accounts and 1,152,000 transactions per hour. The application architecture is SOA based (Service Oriented Architecture) and includes several Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) modules running on a cluster of Websphere nodes.
• Cross Border Cash Balancing: refactored, enhanced and added new features to the Cross Border Cash Balancing application. That is a cash balancing system available to the ING cooperate customers for balancing their account structures' cash level. Design patterns were used to refactor and enhance several features of the application. As a result, the application became easier to maintain and extend.
• Auto Send Reporting (ASR): designed and led the implementation of the ASR application. An automated reporting framework for auto generating and distributing account structure information to the ING cooperate customers. The framework supports large documents (over 10,000 pages) published in various formats such as PDF and HTML. The framework is implemented as a group of services (based on SOA approach) that communicate with each other (using MQ messages) to perform the report preparation, processing and formatting.

Projects:

• CURIA II: designed and implemented a specialized search engine. It consists of an indexation and a search engine (written in Java 1.4) to index and query (on CD-ROM) the jurisprudence produced by the European Court of Justice. My duties included project planning, writing specifications and documentation, designing the software, coding and leading the development team. Moreover, I was in charge of the product evaluation and selection. This project was implemented for the Publication Office of the European Community in Luxembourg.
• News Up: co-designed and developed a Domino/Websphere application software to provide the communication among Press News team members. The system is implemented whereby each writer responsible for a subset of information could enter his information directly into the master product through a GUI interface. The final product is transformed to XML, HTML, RTF and PDF formats and dispatched to the customer. I was in charge of the development team but also participated in the specification, design, implementation, system integration tests and documentation. This project was implemented for MediaValues in Belgium.
• Fishery Information Data Exchange System (FIDES II): Led the development of FIDES. A multi-tier and multi platform application server supporting 2,000 simultaneous transactions via HTTP, FTP, SMTP and X400 protocols. It is entirely written in Java and consisted of a kernel and several bridges supporting the communication infrastructure linking the European Commission (DG-Fish), and administrations in the European Member States. I was the principal architect of the application server, and participated in the design, coding and integration tests of the application. This project was implemented for the European Commission - DG Fish - in Belgium.
• Bank Stroeve E-Banking: participated in the architecture blue-print of the Bank Stroeve E-Banking application. The system is implemented in Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and includes several modules running in Websphere and communicating via TIBCO messaging. This project was implemented for the Bank Stroeve in Holland.
• Ldap on-line Management system: co-designed and developed an LDAP based application to manage over 300,000 customer profiles. The application administration console was accessed over HTTPS protocol. I co-designed the LDAP schema. This project was implemented for UPC in Norway.
• Document Workflow Management System (DWMS): designed and implemented a multi-tier application server (written in Java) to facilitate document management and production. The requirements included support for high volume of documents. A distributed design was chosen to be able to run the system software components on several servers. The components communicated via XML RPC. The entire development was done on Unix (Solaris). This project was implemented for Joh. Enschedé Print House in Belgium.
• Car Sales Portal: led the technical team, designed and implemented an online Car Sales application prototype for selling second hand cars. The core application was implemented in Java 1.2. In addition, JSP was used to implement the client running in a web browser. My responsibilities included, the overall architecture and the training of junior team members. This project was implemented for Business Solutions in Belgium.

Projects:

• World Online Trading and Quote System (WOQATS): designed and developed an high-precision trading system to implement time-based (sub-millisecond) trading platform used by individual investors and institutional traders. The system software included a Java server (written in Java 1.1) interacting with a Stock Quote Server (written in C) to provide real time stock exchange information. My responsibilities included the design and implementation of the application software. The entire development was done on Unix (Solaris).
• FIDES Prototype: prototyped a Java application, based on the first version of FIDES that had been implemented in C. Responsibilities included software evaluation, analysis, design and implementation. The entire development was done on Unix (Solaris).

Projects:

• Web For Schools (WFS): co-developed an e-learning application used by school teachers in the European Commission member states. The application was written in Smalltalk and Unix scripts.
• Online Registration System: developed an online seminar registration application. CGI scripting and HTML interface was used for the implementation.
