Mfx Change Work Values

Daily Duties at Mfx Change:

One of my current responsibilities is the oversight of one Technical Specialist in which I provide direction and prioritization of tasks. The Technical Specialist and I work closely with all Development teams in the States and abroad (India, Ireland and Canada), Project Management team, Business users and the Infrastructure team on a wide variety of tasks and issues. This position requires me to develop code in a variety of languages ranging from Visual Basic 6, .C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion, T-SQL, Crystal Reports, Reporting Services 2008 and JAVA. I am currently working on a project that is taking one of our client’s Policy Management system and converting it from centura (Client server based system) to ASP.NET C#. The conversion process has been outsourced to a company in India. The application will have close to 500 classes and 175 web pages. 1. I have been a key player in providing direction and architectural changes to the converted system. I provided, to the vendor, workable code for the new architectural changes I want them to implement. 2. I have introduced the use of Spring for data management, Navigate and Dependency Injection. 3. I monitor and critique the vendor’s code and recommend the appropriate revisions so the system will work properly. 4. I am responsible in architecting out the infrastructure of the Test and Production Environment. 5. This project has required me to get very involved in writing C# code. Two major utility tools I have written to assist in the projects test phase is a tool that will compares data from two different SQL Server 2008 databases and return a difference Excel report. This comparison tool is being utilized via the web or in a batch mode. The current C# application I am working on will process large volume of data into the back-end (Code-Beside) Business logic of the web application .This application will be able to flush out coding issues during this migration. In addition, this application will be used going forward after the conversion. This application uses Spring Dependency Inject, ADO, LINQ, XML and Reflection. 6. I have setup a couple of testing tools to assist in the testing of the converted code. I tested with Complete6, Complete7 and Selenium. Both had problems with the latency because of the AJAX and Javascript on the ASP.NET pages.

What they like about Mfx Change:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
