PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
COOK SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL – Memphis, TN 08/16 – Present
FastTrack’D Developer
Chat Client/Server
 The Server was coded in Java using socket technologies, and the client was built in
Javascript and Node and its socket technologies to connect to the server
 The server was built to handle multiple connections using different threads
 To synchronize everything for all connections, every message passed was sent to the
server, and the server emitted responses to every connection
 All messages were sent from the client as JSON objects and de-serialized as a Java
object. Any message sent from the server were sent to the client as a JSON object and
is parsed to a formatted message.
Environment: Eclipse IDE, Atom, Node
Online Social Networking Application
 Created a Social Networking Web Application using Spring, JSF, XHTML, and Maven.
 Designed and implemented a login/registration page, a profile page that displays a list of
all people the user is following, a list of updates each follower has made in a reverse

2. fashion so that most current update displays at the top, a list of all users, and a text area
for the user to make an update.
 Auto-wired the services and DAO layers using the Spring IOC framework for better
modularity and easier maintenance.
 Applied the Hibernate ORM framework to access database and for the persistence layer.
 Used XHTML and CSS to create a dynamic and rich user interface for improved user
experience
Environment: Eclipse-based Spring Tool Suite
Flight Reservation System
• Built a flight reservation system using AngularJS, Bootstrap, Spring, RESTful web
services, and PostgreSQL
• Utilized RestControllers to receive JSON objects from the frond-end and to marshal Java
objects into JSON for transfer to the front-end.
• Used JPA supported by Hibernate to interact with PostgreSQL
• Implemented user handling services for registration, login, and security features.
• Wrote a search algorithm to find paths between origin and destination cities selected by
the user. The search included multiple flights in an itinerary and included layover times in
the total travel time calculations.
• Allowed a user to book a flight itinerary and then later view the travel paths of booked
itineraries with the Google Maps API.
