• Successfully brokered a plan to Certify Trading Partners by certifying the EDI software and clearing house vendors eliminating the need to certify each of the 3,000 plus trading partners individually. Saving both Trading Partners and Confidential hundreds of man hours.
• Worked with VANs/Clearing House and State to successfully move the VANS from dedicated VPN connection modernizing to a web-services solution saving both the trading partners and Confidential thousands of dollars each year on maintenance cost. Solution exceeded the SLA of 7 seconds response for real-time transactions.
• Designed, developed and implemented an asynchronistic batch file processing solution to optimize the communication in the existing solution while preserving required security concerns.

• Managed multiple teams consisting of Project Managers, Developers and Business Analyst.

• Responsible for integration with other systems, follow deign patterns and while encouraging innovation.
• Conducted design review, code reviews, responsible for all designed and development activity to ensure quality standards, providing innovative technical leadership while following project wide work patterns.
• Facilitated workshops with Confidential leadership and DE State Customer Stake Holder to validate requirements.
• Built a relationship of trust with customers that allowed teams to effectively meet deadlines and develop technically sound innovative solutions.
• Documented results from the requirements workshop, singed off by State in first round, before deadlines, meeting a payment milestone for Confidential .
• Managed the four subsystems through requirements phase and into design.
• Presented innovative System Designs to state customer resulting with clarity allowing for first round approval of the technical design singed off by State before deadlines, meeting a payment milestone for Confidential .
• Design a key Imaging and EDMS Web Service to integrate IBMS’s Content Manager OnDemand into the Confidential InterChange browser based product to allow end user to have seamless integration allowing for single sign on increasing customer satisfaction.
• Creatively solved the DE resource constraint problem by collaborating with our sister account’s (Colorado DDI) EDI team pooling both projects EDI resources to build one common collaborative solution to be utilized across all interChange accounts within Confidential allowing EDI resources to be leveraged across multiple accounts.
• Created detailed cross walk documents with interChange subsystems to create and validate to ensure integration of EDI X12 and NCPPD data into and out of interchange’s Finance, Prior Authorization, Eligibility and Claims subsystems to assure implementation success.
• During end of the design phase and into the Development phase the new Confidential ’s EDI translator’s proof of concept EDI translator was failing requiring significant redesign of the leveraged solution.
• Initially the prototype solution consisted of web service calls to the translator with the EDI data as the payload. This initial design failed during volume testing since it was designed to connect to the translator, deliver the payload and wait for the translation. The new translator took considerably more time for translations, sometimes over 4 hours and the Confidential network’s firewalls typically defaulted in closing the connection after 5 minutes of inactivity.
• Innovatively solved this on the combined DE and CO account teams by moving to a SFTP type solution for file exchanges. We quickly regrouped and simplifying the solution to use file moving utilities to send and receive the payloads (XML files) while salvaging the original EDI code removing the webservice as the communication component to process batch files. This was done while still meeting all project deadlines.
• Realtime translations continued to be performed by receiving the X12 or NCPDP via dedicated VPN connection or ACA 1104 CAQHI CORE Web Services and utilizing web services to interactive with OXi in Realtime and a UNIX C SOAP server for the claims and eligibility engines - Exceeded Service Level Agreement of 7 second response.
