<div><p><strong>NETS Server (NETS Device Integration) </strong>(https://www.nets.com.sg/)</p>
<p>Inginim Pte. Ltd (https://inginim.com/) : A software development company in Singapore</p>
<p>Inginim hired me from Upwork and I completed following projects with them.</p>
<p>NETS Device is like POS Terminal which accepts cards for payment processing, it is widely used in Singapore for card payment processing. This device accepts commands also over TCP/IP sockets for payment processing without physical cards. I studied binary protocol used by this device to accept commands, (Inginim provided me technical documents from OEM). I developed message formatters/parsers and other communication components in my module.</p>
<p>I developed Json Web APIs for other developers to send commands to NETS Server which applied business logic and then communicated with target NETS Device in network to process payment.</p>
<p>NETS Server monitors devices in network and keeps track of online/offline devices.</p>
<p><strong>Technologies Used</strong>: C#, .net core 3.1, Socket Programming, ASP.Net Core Web API, NLog, .net, MySQL, EF Core, Visual Studio 2022.</p></div>

<p><strong>1. </strong><strong>FD Server</strong></p>
<p>We automated fueling of ships/vessels/boats at the Brani Container Terminal (one of Port in Singapore). I developed FD Server module in this project. FD Server received commands from other modules in project as it exposed REST Web APIs and after applying domain/business logic it controlled fuel dispense terminals on port to dispense fuel (Petrol) to ships etc.</p>
<p>I was provided documentation of fuel dispense terminals (Hardware from Ukrain) which accepts commands on TCP/IP Sockets using custom binary protocol. I developed binary message formatter, parser and socket communication components and sent commands to available idle fuel terminal to dispense certain quantity of fuel.</p>
<p>Reported available fuel volume and dispensed quantities to higher modules in solution.</p>
<p> <strong>Technologies Used</strong>: C#, Socket Programming, ASP.Net Core Web API, NLog, .net Core 3.1, SQLite database, Visual Studio 2019</p></div>
<div><p>I Analyzed existing legacy application called Dialer.</p>
<p>Prepared FSD, Solution Architecture Diagrams, ERD.</p>

<div><p>NCR Corporation developed this solution for one of Middle Eastern Fintech Company. Bank registers his customer on branch terminals and using tablets, customer finger data is pushed to Fintech Company servers where it is stored in irreversible template form. Latter on when customer scans his finger on ATM or POS terminals it is sent to Fintech company servers where it is matched with previously registered fingers and customer is identified, his record is sent to bank server, once account is debited by bank cash is disbursed to customer.</p>
<p>I took part in technical discussions related to transaction flows, resolved technical challenges and documented transaction flows in FSD, compiled major parts of FSD, prepared solution architecture diagrams, calculated development work efforts, coordinated with other teams in project, project manager and client. Designed solution architecture related to biometric part of project and led a team of 4 developers to build the modules for ATM machine, Bank UI and back end services and databases. I also led the team to develop Fintech Company UI, back end services and databases. Solution is designed to run in high availability environment 24x7 and in fact it is running with active/passive HA configuration.</p>
<p>I assigned tasks to developers, monitored their work, prepared and shared weekly progress reports with managers and client. We deployed this solution in March 2019 after one month of pilot run, the solution was deployed in production environment, since April 2019 it is running in live environment. I personally deployed all solution components, provided post live phase support, analyzed and fixed issues.</p>
