SQL, ACCESS, SQL SERVER, MMC SDK, UNIX SOLARIS JAVA ,Servlets, JSP, Apache, Tomcat,
Encryption systems, SMTP, PO3, Installshield, UML
Projects successfully completed:
• Problem Solver
Debugging and fixing code of the team
My main Role was to lead the team technically and to solve all the coding problems.
• Design and implementation of a service system management for the encrypt/decrypt server
gateway.
This service was managing the encryption and decryption system that included the following
management:
- The two primary approaches of encryption (symmetric and public key).
- The Digital signature
- The different type of Cipher: 64 bits block for DES and RS2, Stream for RC4.
- The RSA encryption.
- Certificates and Authentication for users or organisations.
Brief System Functionality Summary: A mail server e.g., Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Mail, etc… is
configured to use a gateway, that is the encryption email server gateway.
On this system two other services run; a SMTP service and a POP3 service. They contact the
encryption service to encrypt or decrypt a message. The certificates and all their related data are
saved on a SQL SERVER database.
• Design and implementation of a fault tolerance system for the encrypt/decrypt servers
The fault tolerance applies to a cluster of encryption server email gateways.
Each Encryption Server Email Gateway had a local database, a service running that could send (using
multicast) and receive data between them.
All the data was dispatched treated in the cluster and stored in each server. A checkpoint system
marked the status of the data (Start processing, Still processing, End processing, Mark for delete)
The system allowed adding or removing a server in the cluster dynamically.
The fault tolerance system also integrated the primary functionality of a load balancing system that
was used to choose the server to process the data.
The service was written in C, wrap in a COM+ and used in a User control (ActiveX) created with Visual
Basic and Integrated in MMC in C++.
• Design and implementation of the installation and configuration program for the
encrypt/decrypt servers and the fault tolerance module
The system had an installation program written with Installshield using DLL in C SDK API

7. The configuration of the system was done by an administrator through a MMC console.
• Design and implementation of a Web mail service
The web application used an MVC design pattern utilising Servlet, JSP, JSP session and request
beans and JavaScript for form validation.

• Design and Implementation of a module designed to convert images for Eastman Software,
Kodak (New York, USA)
Eastman software is the software company of KODAK. It is a partner of Microsoft Corporation and
they developed Imaging for Windows NT

8. One of the requirements of this system was to be able to convert and render images in different format
(GIF, TIF, and BMP…).
The converting system has been written in C SDK API, OL2 and exposes interfaces that can be used
by other applications.
The professional version of Imaging for windows NT includes a workflow system that can be linked to
SAP via OLE2.The convert module has been updated to store the image with SAP. The development
teams were localised in New York, Paris and the platform storage was in Belgium. We were using
ATM, FRAME RELAY, ISDN, X25, SNA, and RTC to store and load the data.
• Design and implementation of a metric library for TopSoft (Brighton UK)
This application was designed for construction, scientific and financial institutions. The GUI was written
in Visual Basic and the engine was a com object that was exposing converting function such as
Imperial to Metric.
• Implementation of a “profil payeur” and a Tool Library for Cerg Finance and France Telecom
The Design was done by Cerg Finance.
The application had to meet the RDBMS (ORACLE, SYSBASE, SQLSERVER, and DB2) compliance
due to the heterogeneous environment, the other existing applications and the business management
constraints.
A tool library composed of com objects such as: VirtualListView (to handle the amount of data on the
client); special buttons (4 states); database objects with cursor management; Encryption objects &
GUI Objects, was designed. This accommodated the large volumes of data together with the different
types of networks and speed transmissions involved.
