Case 10 / 10
Where it started: Java at Wirecard
In 2018 I interned at Aprisma Indonesia, the Jakarta company in the Wirecard group that builds cash management and internet banking software for Indonesia’s largest banks. After eight weeks of Java training I joined the team building AIMS, an internal app that replaced the Excel attendance sheets of staff placed on site at client banks and tied their hours to projects.

Key contributions
-
01
Mapped a Jira 3 to Jira 7 migration
Most projects still ran on Jira 3. With two other interns I compared it with Jira 7 feature by feature, noted what each difference would change for the teams, and mapped the database tables to what each screen shows.
-
02
Screens for two internal HR apps
Built the front end of both apps from the core team’s wireframes, as JSP pages with Bootstrap.
-
03
Back end and integration tests for AIMS
Worked on the AIMS back end in Java, with Struts 2 handling the requests and Hibernate mapping Java objects to database tables, then wrote a set of integration tests for it.

Why AIMS
Many Aprisma engineers work on site at the banks they build for. Their attendance lived in Excel: typed in by hand, checked by the team lead at each site, then checked again by HR. AIMS moved that into a web app. Staff clock in and out in the browser and log their work against a project and a Jira issue, so HR gets attendance without the spreadsheets and project managers see where people’s hours actually go.

Each action goes through a Struts action and Hibernate into the database. Names and data here are made up for this page; clients and staff are anonymised.

The first eight weeks
Before any project work, the training centre took me through the stack Aprisma builds its banking products on, and the products themselves.
