Datanomics (assigned to United Parcel Service (UPS) cost calculator project)

8300 Dunwoody Place, Suite 230, Atlanta, GA 30350; Contact: Denise Stepka

United Parcel Service, 55 Glenlake Parkway, Building #1, Floor #5, Atlanta, GA 30328

Supervisor: Jack Miller

Dates: 7/98 - 7/99

Role: 1 of 3 Software Engineers, chief roles were: System Software Architect,

C++ developer/programmer, multi-platform code integrator

Duties: Co-create a cost calculator for UPS national package delivery system that would enable

them to know exactly how much a package costs to ship from any doorstep to any doorstep

no matter how shipped (i.e.: ground, 2-Day air, etc...). Calculator included time studies

and other logistical data. My role was to create all the back-office C++ logistical (i.e.:

non-visual business management) classes using Rational Rose to architect the object

model in UML and then to generate the skeleton of C++ classes used to implement the cost

calculator and then to finish developing/(fleshing-out) the business logistical methods/functions

that would manage the summation/aggregation of the underlying fundamental costs. I modified

the C++ code for multi-platform deployment (i.e.: Windows NT to UNIX (HP-UX) deployment) and for

the integration of this project with other software development efforts at UPS, by modifying

the project into a DLL for use by any GUI (i.e.: Visual) programming effort for PC platform deployment.

On this project Rogue Wave was used for the RDBMS interface to the Oracle database, both on the local

Windows NT server and also on the HPUX server(s).
