2016-01 - 2017-01
(through DFind & Evry)
Integrated the KLP web site CMS (Polopoly) with the design
system - a frontend framework for creating responsive web
pages - first business area to use the new design system is
fund, which was released the 3rd of April 2017.
The design system consists of the design library and the component library - ideally we would build the site only using
components (with server-side rendering to lower the initial performance demands on the client browser)

Tele2
2013-01 - 2015-01
(first through Conduct, then Bragd)
Tele2's IRIS is a highly configurable system, where a large
part of new development consists of configuring products and rules for the rule engine.
Involved in many Tele2 customer oriented projects including
'Familierabatt', 'Kontroll', data usage notification by SMS,
PakkeSMS, subscription upgrade via. SMS (later also via. App & Web), data package top-up via. SMS (again later also via. App & Web). And finally at the core of configuration & analysis when we simplified the existing data buckets for integrating
DigitalRoute PCRF in order to decide speed etc. on a per
bucket level, rather than per subscription as in HLR/HSS.
Other projects included feature tests (which were actually just
testing our own product & rule configuration and didn't include
external systems), batch processing of subscriptions including
reestablishment of lost equipment fees (due to system bugs) and a simple, intuitive interface for integration with Elkjøp's
webshop (StandardAPI)
The most important improvement however was CTRL - a
product- & rule viewer (before there was only TOAD/SQL Developer to get an overview of the products & rules). This
was a modern webapp in Java 8, Spring 4.1 + Jackson 2.4,
AngularJS 1.3 bundled with jetty-runner.
Team tools:
• Subversion 1.7 with only 1 main branch (moved to Git + began to use git-flow branching strategy in February, 2014 -
6 months after I suggested it)
• JIRA 5.2 - 6.3.6, Confluence 5.1 - 5.6.3
• Bamboo 4.4.5 - 5.6.1 (CI/CD - argued that Jenkins would
provide better insight into code quality by being able to display static code analysis and test coverage on the front
page - but it was later decided to use SonarQube on
Bamboo)
APIs / Languages:
• Apache POI (for MS Excel logging in feature tests - put JFreeChart's into cells)
• Groovy 2.2 - 2.3.7 (incl. spock 0.7 for feature tests)
• HTML5, CSS3 & jQuery
• Jackson 1.9.13 - 2.4.2
• JDO 3.1 & DataNucleus 3.2.x
Torben Vesterager
• Joda-Time 2.3
• JUnit4 integration tests (incl. H2 in-memory DB with Oracle dialect)
• slf4j-1.7.5 (incl. log4j-over-slf4j & splunk)
• Spring 3.2.4 - 4.1.1
• Spring Web Services 2.2.0 (Contract (XML schema) first
for the StandardAPI project)
Dev. Tools / Languages:
• IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 12 - 14.1.4
• Gradle 1.7 - 2.2 incl. configuring checkstyle, findbugs,
PMD, Emma & JSHint (using gradle-js-plugin 1.8.0)

2012-01 - 2013-01
(through Miracle, Siena Consulting & Capgemini)
Many minor projects including configuration of automated
.NET builds & integration tests, an MS Word macro button,
multiple Java refactorings etc., etc.
Major project was the 2nd generation form (skjema) solution. A
solution which spans 2 platforms, .NET and Java. The solution
was very well designed & architected and the resulting code
was technically excellent. Especially 2 issues were pushed by
me:
• Fine grained transports/generators - originally bulk
transports were specified, but now the user can effectively
create their own simple server-side workflow in the form
designer via. drag-n-drop - and then follow every step for
each posted form instance in the administration GUI.
• Strong integration between .NET & Java - a common
XML Schema was used to ensure the communication
interface. Every .NET integration test validates the generated XML against the XSD, and JAXB was used on the Java side to automatically parse the form instances as
they were sent in.
Architectural:
• Event Sourcing & CQRS
Team tools:
• Git-1.7.9 & git flow
• JIRA Enterprise Edition 3.xx

Coop
2010-01 - 2011-01
konzoomer
The konzoomer project was revisited. Since the Danish
supermarket companies (Coop, Dansk Supermarked, etc.)
wouldn't provide live pricing data based on barcodes, a less
ambitious variant of konzoomer was developed.
Instead of enabling full-shopping-list comparison, it was only
able to compare single offers (da: tilbud) across different
supermarkets. Every offer had to be entered into the backend
manually from the digital supermarket catalogues (da: tilbudsaviser).
The project was abandoned in August because of lack of
investors, business skills, or maybe it's just not possible to make money from providing transparency on daily groceries.
(See http://www.facebook.com/konzoomer for screenshots)
Other tools/utilities used:
• IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.4
• Android 2.1 with Google APIs

Cofman
2010-01 - 2010-01
The existing backend for cofman.com was a system
developed since 1998 and in its current state almost
impossible to maintain & extend.
The new backend project was started in 2009 and had clear
objectives: Long lifetime, Dynamic, Generic, easily
maintainable & extendable. It's a distributed system written in
Java SE using JGroups to communicate between JVMs on the different servers.
SCRUM was used including 14-day sprints, daily stand-ups,
user demos at the end of the sprint & retrospection. Planning
poker was used to estimate the different tasks, and these
tasks, bugs & refactorings were written on physical pieces of carton in different colors and moved around on a board (in- progress, peer review, done).
JAXB was introduced to avoid maintaining SAX parsing code.
Other tools/utilities used:
• Altova XMLSpy Enterprise Edition 2010 rel. 2 (x64)
• Ant
• EasyMock 2.5.2
• IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2
• JAXB 2.2.1
• JGroups 2.8.0.CR3
• jQuery 1.4.2
• JSTL 1.1 (Jakarta's Standard 1.1.2 implementation)
• JUnit (unit-, integration- & accept tests - a few
performance- & stress tests and a single compliance test for
the XML portal)
• pgAdmin III 1.10.1
• PostgreSQL 8.4
• Subversion (migrated from CVS early)
• Apache Tomcat 6.0.2x

A project initially sparked by Google's Android Developer
Challenge, a Java ME version of the handset client was
developed. Each handset is different and implements different
sets of JSRs - the client automatically detects these at start
up and works accordingly. It was also optimized for different
screen resolutions, memory availability, etc.
A website prototype in strict XHTML 1.0 was developed using
jQuery, AJAX, JSON and Firebug. The prototype included
features such as drag-n-drop, auto completion and integration

Development of the front end of a new market risk module for
BEC's customers. The project was divided into 2 sub modules
- the administration module and the moving function. The
administration module was for setting up risk portfolios, dealer
profiles, and segmentation rules for the different basic
systems, while the moving function was for specifically moving
transactions, accounts, etc. to different risk portfolios than the ones automatically assigned via. the segmentation rules.
Other tools/utilities used:

This was mostly an upgrading project. The java swing client
application, Panter, was upgraded from Java 1.3.x to Java 5.0, which presented a lot of runtime bugs in the Swing
components. PanterWeb, an older web application, and some
session EJBs were upgraded from running on WebLogic 6.1 to run on 9.2. Also the Oracle upgrading from 8.1.x to 10.2.x
presented several problems with more or less complex
solutions.
Other tools/utilities used:
• Jakarta's Ant
• IntelliJ IDEA 6.0.5
• BEA WebLogic Server 9.2
• Oracle 10g

SSE had suddenly gotten a lot of funding from their customer,
Århus Amt, to implement a stack of feature cards on the Patient Administration module of the EPJ system. So they
called in backup personnel.
One feature card was a server-side only component which
should upload some data in a fixed-format text-file to an FTP. I
was also used as a Swing GUI developer on another feature
card, which was also an experiment with something called
'NeoArch', where we went around the SSE standard
application frameworks & service frameworks to keep it
simple, very junit-testable, and optimizable.

The new e-Eksport system for Told&Skat was in the final
stages of development. I was brought in to inspect the code in
order to performance optimize the system, which consists of a Swing client and an EJB application on a WebLogic 8.1
server. Also stress testing was performed to optimize server
settings, checking stability and looking for memory leakages.
During the final error correction stages I also helped with
cleaning out bugs because my colleagues were under a lot of

The main problem TDC faced when delivering a self-service
site to its business customers was that each backend
functionality was delivered by a different platform each with its
own type of communication protocol - not to mention that
these backend services could be very slow.
Besides creating graphical front-ends for these services I also
made a performance monitoring system, which would
measure each backend call and generate statistics, whether it
was CORBA, MQ, or any other protocol. Mostly it was written
to cover our own behinds in Solutions - to be able to pass the monkey when the customers complained about slow response

We used UML class and sequence diagrams for the technical
discussions.

A greenfield project created by Peter Bartek, Rasmus
Grauballe and myself. The main motivational factor in the
beginning was that we could choose the technologies for the site ourselves - so that meant XML. I explored Xforms too but
it was soon apparent that this technology wasn't well
supported at the time, so the front-end was built using the well-known Struts framework.
The multilanguage front-end also uses javascript for the browser-dynamic content. In the middle we just use normal
java classes instead of heavy EJBs, because we felt confident in synchronizing access and using transactions correctly.
Between the middleware and the Xindice database we have
JAXB as the converter.

An existing base of applications on an AS/400 was to be made
accessible from web-applications. It was decided that
exposing this functionality via. web services was the way to go. Since these webservices were to be invoked by the front-
end web-applications, and the static nature of the data, JAXB
was an ideal technology to use in order to keep the marshalling code to a minimum.
The front-end framework is WebSphere Commerce Business
Edition 5.4 running on WebSphere Application Server 4.0
backed by an IBM DB2 v7.2. Commerce's MVC architecture
involved writing several command-classes, which invoked the before mentioned webservices, and forwarded the resulting
JAXB bean to the view (JSP).

Subcontracted to develop several GUI components for an
electronic patient journal system for Aarhus' regional
Hospitals. The system consists of a Java Swing front-
application to an EJB-based backend accessed via. Corba.
Swing components were comprised of mainly: JTable, JTree,
JTextPane, HTMLDocument, HTMLEditorKit, StyleSheet.
Especially the HTML functionality required developing
workarounds to HTML-handling bugs in JDK 1.3.1 and occasionally notifying Sun of these bugs.
All Swing components were developed with Swing
architecture in mind, that is, threading time-consuming back-
end calls through Corba, so GUI remained responsive to user
inputs.
A spelling checker adapter to the text component was
developed integrating the Sentry Spelling Checker Engine
for Java• SDK by Wintertree Software.
