PORTFOLIO

A selection of achievements in the past 10 years.

2009 / zienit.nl
Mycompany website and blog.ZienIT specializes in open source ESB projects, and shares knowledge via its blog:OpenESB, JBoss ESB, Apache ServiceMix, Java, EJB 3.0, JBI, WSDL, XML Schema, SOAP, WS-BPEL, WS-Policy, WS-Security (incl. PKI), WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging.
Tools (for building the website): WordPress, PHP, Kompozer, Inkscape, Gimp, Subversion
Platforms: Linux, Wintel, XAMPP
2009 / Design Repository
This repository is designed to centrally manage the lifecycle of ICT related documentation.This initiative started as a small pilot using simple office productivity software and is now permanently in use. The document repository is integrated with BEA ALER (arepositoryfor SOA artifacts) using web services.
Tools: MS Word VBA macro’s, MS Excel VBA macro’s, MS Access, BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository (ALER), BEA WebLogic.
Platforms: Wintel, AIX.
2009 / FPA & requirements gathering modeling technique
This modeling technique visualizes the building blocks of FPA (system boundaries, inputsoutputs, etc.) to both the designer and the end user. The models proved to be valuable in gathering and understanding user requirements.
Tools: MS Visio
Methods: FPA
2008 / Governance of the CMDB
The CMDB (containing servers, desktops, software, telephones etc.) wasinsufficiently governed. I rewrote procedures in cooperation with stakeholders and assigned responsibilities and KPI’s.
Tools: HP Openview
Methods: ITIL, ASL, BiSL
Platforms: Wintel, AIX.
2008 / FPA training and tooling
A training was written for both managers andICT employees, to give them an understanding of the FPA (NESMA) method and to explain how the method is embedded and practiced within the organization.
Tools: MS Powerpoint, MS Excel
2007 / Information flows in EMC Documentum & BEA ALSB(architectureand design)
Concernsthe exchange of (XML) documentsbetween (research institute) IRIS andthe various business units of Robeco.
Tools: Java/JEE
Methods: DyA, RUP
Platforms: BEA AquaLogic Service Bus (ALSB), EMC Documentum
2007 / Investment advice on Internet(architecture, design and project management)
This highly interactive Adobe Flex applicationgives adviceon investment transactions to retail customersand is embedded in aTridion/JEE/Siebel CRM basedwebsite ( en communicates witha JEE backend.
Tools: Java/J2EE, Spring, Tridion, Adobe Flex 2.0
Methods:DyA, RUP, Prince2/SCRUM
Platforms: BEA WebLogic, Wintel, AIX.
2006 / Productselector(architecture, design and project management)
This highly interactive Adobe Flex applicationprovides detailed information oncomplex Robeco professional investment products in a very user-friendly fashion, andis embedded in aTridion/JEE website ( The architecture includes a crucial cache component (implemented as a Java RMI Server), positioned betweenthe Flex application and the Oracle datamart, which allows the application to download over 1 MB of data over the Internet within three seconds, in the end user’s language and specifically configured per distribution channel.
Tools: Java/J2EE, Spring, Tridion, Adobe Flex 1.1
Methods: DyA, RUP, Prince2/SCRUM
Platforms: BEA WebLogic, Wintel, AIX.
2005 / Investment advice Module(architecture, design and parts of the software)
This service uses artificial intelligence techniques (rules, forward- & backward chaining) to derive an optimal investment advice taking into account the investment profile and the current portfolio of the retail customer, based on the IRIS-advice for specific funds and stock, sectors and regions.I wrote and tested the Java code for the AI rulesengine and the portfolio models.
Tools: Java/J2EE
Methods: RUP
Platforms: BEA WebLogic, Wintel, AIX.
2004 / Redesign Customer Content Manager (architecture, design)
This service collects required information from a variety of systems, then formats and finally prints informationon paper on behalf of end customers. The redesign encompassed a migrationfrom the Tuxedo/C++ platform to Java/JEE and XSLT.

Platforms: BEA WebLogic, Wintel, AIX.
2001– 2004 / Transaction Manager(architecture, design andlarge parts of the software)
A very flexiblemediation & façade type EAI component, a liaison between front- en backoffice. The application’s architectureclosely resembles that of current ESB products. I implemented the following Java code:
  • Adapter forthe IBM mainframe Cobol application via IBM MQSeries (JMS, MDB).
  • Adapter for the (Rabobank) Tandem Cobol application via RSC protocol (JNI, RMI).
  • Adapter for Siebel CRM packages via SOAP protocol (Apache Xerces parser).
  • Virtual Back Office, the logical integration of Robeco’s and Rabobank’s backends into one unified backoffice for investment transactions and banking account management.
Tools: Java/J2EE, C++, XML, SOAP, XML-Schema
Methods: RUP
