Platform Infrastructure Frictionless deployment for java applications
Software delivery was changing in the whole corporation and we were migrating into using
docker containers. This effort was code named “Frictionless Deploy”. Part of this effort was the
creation of tools to automate the delivery and deployment process and tools for java
applications. I was able to be part of this effort by being the first developer to deploy a java
application using this new tools. Throughout the whole process I had to develop extra tools and
research on current process to deliver using this new standard. My tasks ranged but were not
limited to:
Creation of Dockerfile standard
Research of legacy deployment standards
Implementation of tools to adapt existing java applications into this new standard
Support Ops team into the use of this newly created tools
Platform CMS Implementation Team
We realized that we were covering more efforts than only the remittance products in the Flex
Send Team (which covered only the remittance product). A new team was created to cover the
the new content management system implementation. My tasks ranged but were not limited to:
Team leadership
Create strategies for content migration
Integration systems between Xoom’s TMS (translation management system) and the
new CMS (content management system).
Formalization and automation of TMS deployment
Create strategies for content migration

After dealing with a monolithic architecture and it’s problems, it was decided to migrate the
Xoom platform into a microservice architecture. This plan was code named “Flex Send”. As part
of this team we were tasked to migrate the legacy monolithic application that was supporting the
whole remittance experience into multiple loosely coupled services. I was specifically tasked
with extracting localization into a this new SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), my tasks ranged
but were not limited to:

got contacted by the client to confirm they are still using the same pipeline (couple of years have
past since I left).

Java Programmer @ Icon Americas( 2012 2013 )
I worked in the field of Java SE and Java EE applications.
In this work we had many complications which have had to be overcome, one of which is the
age of technologies required by the client. I was giving maintenance applications using
technologies with more than 10 years old in some projects for clients like Telefonica, Tigo and
Claro.

Bomb Rush: iOS (2011)
We all need a challenge and this project was mine. Going out of my comfort zone I decided to
do a port my game Bomb Rush (see below) to the Apple platform.
For the development of this game I made use of a scripting language to define levels and
enemies, but to maintain the speed of the application I used compiled language for the engine.
Using static links to use lua scripts without losing performance.
Technologies Used: ObjectiveC, cocos2diphone, Lua
Bomb Rush: Flash (2009)
The dream of any child of the 90s is or ever was making games. For me this has never ceased.
This was my first experience in Flash, specifically Actionscript 3. It has been the most difficult
project I have ever had, not because it is complicated but everything I had to learn first. It is
noteworthy that no one ever taught me personally how to make a game (even to code), this was
a process of selflearning using the world’s most advanced creation the Internet.
