• Technical Lead for the LAN, WAN & Telemetry Connectivity to the DACS, SWITCH & Transmission device Configuration.

• Converted all the NextStep3.3 projects to Open Step 4.2. (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Design and development of Health Monitor which is a background application that keeps track of a list of models (which it loads in at run-time), monitoring their Remote Objects' gates for termination. The information gathered by the Health Monitor can be viewed by the Model Status GUI. Health Monitor uses Remote Objects to connect to the models it is monitoring. It also registers itself as a service provider with the Registration Manager during its startup. Finally, there are numerous protocols. The main object of the Health Monitor server and its super class is conform to for client requests to be serviced via Remote Objects.(OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Design and development of NMS Tool Bar which in turn forks different applications of NMS domain.(OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Managed and Lead the multi-tier client-server project over the distributed network to monitor the nationwide frame-relay, ATM, SONET, DACS, DMO, DMS switches for DS0, DS1, DS3, T1 circuits for OC48 bandwidth.

• Design and development of Parsers for various Switches & DACS (Digital Access Cross Connect). We Pre-Process DACS Alarms & convert to a standard format. This is basically associating the alarms on physical equipment to Logical Circuits (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Design & development of a security application which grants or denies access to particular applications or files to particular user (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Design and development of NMS Repository - Common Central Repository of Subprojects for all the developers in Tulsa, Woodlands & Jackson. All these locations were using subprojects which are having their own Repository, We used more than 400 Subprojects (Objects) for various Projects (Applications) but the developers have changed these Subprojects according to their specifications. I was involved in merging these repositories & creating a common repository. These are mainly Network Management Objects (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Design and development of a Database Application to successfully compile & perform its purpose using Java. We had a Database Application which was developed using Objective C & OpenStep4.2.

This is designed & developed in order to replace the existing Co-Relation app. which is used to pin point the location of Fiber cut in the line, & to track down the problem to its original source so that the technicians can immediately send e-mails to the people who are responsible for fixing the Fiber cut. (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• The design and implementation of the core objects (for Circuit Alarm Server application) WT Circuit Alarm, WTNMS Circuit, WTNMS Carrier, WTNMS Customer, WTNMS Circuit Segment and WTNMS Line Segment. The data necessary for instantiating these objects is pulled from our F&E mainframe system on a daily basis and transformed in order to reduce as much as possible the object instantiation time. Circuit Alarm Server is a distributed scalable server program that receives ANSI alarms by a given set of Model programs and builds the corresponding Circuit Alarm objects. The list of Circuit Alarm objects is then distributed to the clients (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Designed and implemented Circuit Generator, Carrier Generator, Customer Generator, Circuit Segment Generator and Line Segment Generator applications. These applications are responsible for converting the F&E mainframe files into binary indexed files for WTNMS Circuit, WTNMS Carrier, WTNMS Customer, WTNMS Circuit Segment and WTNMS Line Segment classes (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Supported and Maintained the Process Manager Controller. The PMC is an interface to the Process Manager (PM). It allows a user to maintain the processes running throughout a distributed set of computers. The user interfaces maybe run from a command line or interactively on a VT100 compatible terminal. A PM must be running on each machine in which applications are to be controlled. The PM maintains a list of process that it is supposed to keep running. A PM is only responsible for those processes running on that box. It will restart a process should it stop running (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Designed and implemented the command line interface for the Data Manager Controller. The DMI is an interface to the Data Manager (DM). It allows a user to maintain the processes running throughout a distributed set of computers. The user interfaces maybe run from a command line or interactively on a VT100 compatible terminal. A DM must be running on each machine in which applications are to be controlled. The DM maintains a list of process that it is supposed to keep running. A DM is only responsible for those processes running on that box. It will restart a process should it stop running (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

• Designed and implemented the command line interface for the Models Controller. The MDI is an interface to the Models. It allows a user to view the status of the Models & devices under a Model running throughout a distributed set of computers. The user interfaces maybe run from a command line or interactively on a VT100 compatible terminal. The Registration Broker & DO (Distributed Objects) must be running so that the Models & devices can be controlled. MDI allows the user to get the Database Information, General Info of the Switch, Device Information, Connect & Disconnect to a Switch remotely (OpenStep4.2, C & Objective C).

MPSI:
