Created detailed SQL reports for Fortune 500 clients and performed database cleanup such as deleting out-of-compliance data and removing lapsed user accounts.
• Developed a web-based Video Encoder that utilizes a third party customized plug-in. AJAX requests pass JSON to a Web API that provides authentication to the UI and logs both Encoder events and JavaScript errors to the SQL Server 2012 database. The Encoder is developed in HTML5 and JavaScript/jQuery. The Web API is coded in C#, MVC 4 and Entity Framework 5.
