Database and ArcSDE, WebSphere 7.
 Designed and developed Highways Access Management System (HAMS). The purpose of the application
is to help highway access management personnel in doing research when some sort of highway access
request is made, so they can make an informed decision about granting or denying the request.
 HAMS is an integrated complicated system. A Web based request and search system developed by
JavaScript, AngularJS, Java Sprint framework, WebSphere 7. GIS related editing system is developed by
C#.Net, MVVM Light and GIS components (ArcGIS Objects).
 Lots of Python Scripts processes (10 batch processes) are developed to process huge GIS related data
converted from CAD 3D/ and other data sources to Oracle Database (ArcSDE).
 Designed and developed Traffic Impact Analysis and Project Traffic Study system (TIA/PTS). A GIS Web
application to assist DTSD regions with tracking and managing Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) and
Project Traffic Studies (PTSs) in an interactive web interface with a mapping view. This application,
streamlines the TIA/PTS business workflow by providing a way for the users to enter text and geospatial
data related to TIAs/PTSs data and upload associated documents.
 Java Sprint MVC, Sprint Hibernate, WSA 9, Jasper Report, ArcGIS JavaScript API, AngularJS are used
in the front end and the backend development. Oracle and ArcSDE are used in the database.
