Software engineer
Ordinal Software
novembre 2000 - novembre 2005
In this position, I contributed to the design and implementation of an application server and IDE (Integrated Development environment) for developing SCADA and MES applications.
Requirements management
Collaboration with customers to refine requirements and orient design and implementation of required features.
IDE Design and Development
Development of the features allowing application developers to create models of objects, hence increasing reuse and productivity. Objects are loosely coupled to their model so that the application developer is still allowed to modify objects without modifying the model.
Integration of the RHINO script engine in the IDE, allowing application developers to use the JavaScript language to develop customized features.
Supervision of the integration of third party software allowing application developers to design report templates as data extractions from the S88/S95 model. The templates may be used to generate PDF or excel documents.
Design and implementation of RAD (Rapid Application Development) features in compliance with the java bean specification, allowing application developers to build graphical user interfaces by assembling java components.
Application Server Design and Development
Object persistence in relational databases: Development of the persistence module of the application server allowing application developers to manage S95 objects (Equipments, Persons, Materials…).
Data replication: Development of the JDBC low level replication mechanism of the application server bringing failover capability to applications in production
Online application patching: Development of the features allowing the application administrator to update an application without the need to stop and reload the entire system.
Batch engine compliant with the ISA-88 standard: In order to provide a fully integrated system, I redesigned the architecture so that application developers can build SCADA and Batch (or MES) applications within the same development environment.
Drivers / Communication: Integration with UAG and OFS, Communication with PLCs using MODBUS/TCP protocol.
Real time data collection: Development of features allowing real time data collection, visualization, management and archiving of recorded
