Instead of a 'laundry list'​, I'd highlight some, hopefully, interesting facts - Making web applications is the current theme of the software engineering career. Loving to work in a company with an amazing culture where coding & products relate to everyday-life experiences, e.g. searching/booking a hotel room; where work is enjoyable instead of a grind. iOS/iPhone app is Ben's pleasure in personal projects. Aspire to learn how to analyze business objectives with appropriate technologies, how to choose the practical solution/framework and how to craft elegant code. Motto - Don't chase the trendy technologies. Less is more. Lightweight. Minimalistic. Practical. Selected Web Projects: Prototype using Meteor + React - https://github.com/BeniCheni/frankenstein Prototype using Meteor + D3 - http://tarot-pedia.meteor.com/ https://github.com/BeniCheni/tarot-pedia Psychedelic British Aisles - D3 demo with map http://go-down-the-drain.herokuapp.com/secretTomb/BritishIsles.html https://github.com/BeniCheni/Music-Concierge/tree/master/app/secretTomb Selected iOS apps Photo View Prototype with Instagram API - https://github.com/BeniCheni/DorianGray Minimal Browser - https://github.com/BeniCheni/Geschwind Game - https://github.com/BeniCheni/DorianKittyInSpace Tip Calculator - https://github.com/BeniCheni/TipCalculator 'Laundry list'​: JavaScript Full-Stack - ES2015 (or ES6 as some call it), React, React Router, GraphQL, GraphiQL, Flux, Node, Express, NPM, Meteor, Angular, Gulp, D3, etc. On my radar to learn: Polymer, Redux, Webpack, Falcor, Elm & never stop learning more. An independent dev to build iOS apps. Unit Test/Tools - WebdriverIO; Jest; Istanbul; Jasmine; Disc; JUnit; Selenium; JIRA; Jenkins; Previous Java projects involved building Restful APIs, Collections framework, Spring MVC, myBatis & JVM technologies. Experience from early part of the career: PL/SQL; Oracle; T/SQL; SQL Servers CA Technologies' Clarity PPM System

Front-End Engineer @ Sign-In Platform Coming soon on the technologies and highlights of the current projects... Mobile Web - Hotel - Built a prototype presented a Tech Talk session on GraphQL server + GraphiQL. The mission of this proof of concept was to decouple web app development from the multiple API services with complex data structure. What if devs can consume a single endpoint with a query language as GraphQL to retrieve only the data theirs app needs, without any 'leftover' data? Devs can focus on just building beautiful apps, rather than managing service code and cleaning up data. - Built web applications around Mobile Web Hotel products in fluidly rapid Agile cycles, using the architecture of React+Flux universal-JavaScript stack; Node & Express in server-side; React & React-Router or Angular in client-side with adaptation of ES2015 version of JavaScript; npm packages to empower the features in apps. Testing frameworks are used to follow the BDD / TDD cycle to ensure quality in unit tests & code coverage. Desktop - Hotel - Built hotel desktop web products in fast-moving projects. Worked with JSP-Java based and Angular products. From June 2014 to Present (1 year 7 months) Software Engineer @ Built web applications while gaining experience in scalable/high performance design patterns; algorithms and deeper Object Oriented programming knowledge; gained insight and experience in software architect path. Highlights: - Built Rest API platform for UI engineers to build their front-end products consuming the API. Partnership with the UI team opened up interests to pursue web development. Started learning and adapting modern technologies to pursue career shift to web development. - Built a single-page web app for security provisioning using ExtJS in presentation layer, Spring MVC and core Java on server side. - Started initiative to create automatic test framework; architected the test framework to make it 'easy-to-use' for other engineers write unit test code. Emphasized reusability and scalability with high code coverage with tools such Selenium & Cucumber. - Worked on various data warehouse projects. Coded in DB2 & Oracle database (stored procedures, triggers, materialized views, etc.) to deliver the warehouse. - Accomplished multiple project deliverables in CA Technologies' Clarity PPM system, which was the main theme of in earlier part of my career before joining GS. In GS, the projects had shifted to focus more on building core Java applications to address Clarity’s limitations.
