maximum operational efficiency.
• Participate in TAB (Technical Architectural Board) review and present
the design.
• Modify or enhance the design documents based on the TAB review
3. Implementation – Coding and Development of Application

• Code and develop Advisor application (Optum-Advocacy) using Spring

IOC, Spring AOP, Spring Boot concepts
• Develop Java Web Advisor application (Optum-Advocacy) with
technology stack includes Java, Angular, HTML5, CSS3, Spring
Framework like spring boot, Unix, SQL, Hibernate and Restful
webservice.
• Implement Resolution Framework (proprietary framework used by
Optum Technologies which is an extension of Spring MVC) design
patterns based on the requirement
• Implement Dependency Injection (IOC) feature of spring
framework to inject beans into User Interface and AOP for
Logging
• Develop Hibernate configuration files, stored procedures,
queries and Implement DAO classes using JPA.
• Develop RESTful micro services using Rest Controllers and Spring MVC
architecture.
• Design, build and map Request and Response objects used for the
micro services.
• Commit, Push, pull and update the repository on a timely manner with
the developed code to central GIT repository which enables
collaboration between other developers
• Define Merge strategy for the code commit so as to avoid merge
conflicts and build issues
• Communicate and work between other developers in the team on the
shared code development environment
• Provide appropriate comments and explanation for the code logic that
is being implemented in a block for future reference.
• Perform periodic code review to make sure that high quality code is
being delivered to meet the business requirement
• Develop reusable and interoperable Web service modules based
on SOA architecture using RESTFUL and implement GET,
POST, DELETE, PUT HTTP methods to access micro services.
 • Implement Security enhancement required for the micro services
which are being build to prevent any unauthorized access of the user
and application data.
• Use Swagger tool to test and document the microservices which are
build and create the contract with uri (uniform resource identifier) for
each environment (Dev, Test, Stage, Master, Prod Like, Production)
• Writing high quality code for building Advisor application (Optum-
Advocacy) and its features to meet the business requirements and
delivering them on time.
• Define JWT (JSON Web Token) for Authentication and Authorization
of the micro service and configure them accordingly based on the
environment
• Develop the view-controller components using Angular, CSS,
HTML, Bootstrap and map the UI components and services with
the micro Services which is created for the business requirement.
