Led the design and development of the workflow tools project for Checkpoint. Investigated the use of the Force.com platform, but settled on the use of HotDocs Server instead. Developed the SSO implementation for Checkpoint, both inbound and outbound, to allow account linking and mapping with other Tax & Accounting products and also to allow SSO access by external clients. Developed a template method based refactoring of Checkpoint's custom data access layer and came up with an approach for writing database integration tests to verify the refactoring. This effort significantly reduced the amount of boilerplate code in the data access layer. Ported an SDK from .NET to Java for access to the PingFederate SSO server with high unit and integration test coverage using Junit and EasyMock. Coadministered the production PingFederate SSO installation for use with all Employer Tax & Accounting products, including external clients. |
