Service Assurance Integration Layer (SAIL) Services

SAIL is a middleware that details the health of all COX services. It helps troubleshoot devices, customer, and network
health/liveness. All of the various microservices collects and holds a thorough history of data to allow for customer care,
and also internal helpdesk employees to dial in on when, where, what, and how various pieces of technology function
and operate. These services are CRITICAL for the operation of COX, because of how vast it is. There are over 200 APIs
currently developed (not all actively used) in the SAIL-EAP project (monolithic, not microservices).

Technologies used: Java, Spring-boot microservices, Web services, Hibernate,Kafka,JAXB,Json, Gradle, JUnit
Tools used: Eclipse, Jira, Splunk, SQL Developer, GIT, Jenkins

EPG Rewrite

EPG is Electronic Programing Guide for Set Top Boxes of Cox Communications. This project is part of Cox Video
Middleware(CVM) team which is responsible for all Cox TV related applications. Legacy system was written by Tvworks.
Legacy system used to get flat files(From TMS feed) as input and it used to generate blocks for 14 day guide. Now, the
input system changed its format to json(On2 xml files, with another system as medium between) and handling that in
this new project. Here we are using freemarker to parse the json to required objects and apache camel to control the
flow of events. The project has two parts, one is to fetch data from input system, convert to required objects and insert
into database, and the other one to retrieve from database and generate binary blocks which Set top box understands.
This setup will be running parallely on multiple servers. There are two types of blocks, boot blocks and 14 day blocks.
Boot blocks holds the 8 hour guide. Boot blocks load immediately when STB starts and 14 hour guide will load after 10
minutes.
Technologies used: Java, Apache Camel, Apache active MQ, Gradle, JUnit
Tools used: Eclipse, Jira, SQL Developer, GIT
Server: Jboss
Responsibilities:
 Handled the module to fetch from Elastic to fetch Json and insert into database and building the data for block
generation on multiple instances.
 Actively participate in the client/stakeholder meetings to gather the user stories, requirements and
specifications, which will act as cornerstones for the application development.
 Used Apache Camel as the enterprise integration pattern that will handle the middleware business logic.
 Implemented Java Messaging Service through Apache ActiveMQ for generating a messaging model, which will
support asynchronous communication between different applications.
 Coordinate the development and testing efforts with the team of developers and testers, act as a bridge
between the project manager and the development team at onsite/offshore to communicate the progress.
 Maintain comprehensive documentation of the application and a technical document describing the code level
details for the application.
