TECHNICAL SKILLS

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE,

Confidential, FL

• Part of a small team of developers that enhances, maintains and supports an C# ASP.NET web application collaborating with set of windows services to ship high volume outbound packages from multiple warehouses. The manifest system interfaces with the sorter hardware, Oracle, SQL Server databases and third party software to ship packages using UPS & USPS carriers.
• Project Manager and tech lead for the project. Designed and developed a SOAP web service client that calls the UPS tundra web service after packages are dispatched from the warehouse. This provides an improved update to UPS tracking of the package. Built monitoring and alerting capabilities to ensure all transactions are sent and received by UPS. Provided regular status updates to upper management via presentations. The project will provide an annual savings of $ 45k to HSN by reducing customer call volume.
• A second web service client using REST was created that consumes the UPS web service to receive tracking status data for packages that have been shipped. The xml tracking data is then parsed with XMLDom classes that update the web user control on the package lookup web page.
• Provided a solution to print USPS barcode for UPS SurePost service shipping label. The solution eliminated the need to buy new printer hardware and software potentially saving thousands for the company. Re-architected the printing logic source code using object oriented design features. Our team won the vision award for the project.
• Experience in utilizing Microsoft Atlas AJAX client side libraries on several aspx pages.
• Worked extensively on creating oracle packages, stored procedures, materialized views.
• Worked extensively on SQL Server stored procedures and functions.
• Experience in LINQ query expressions and entity model wizard.
• Coordinated several software projects from development to QA and then to UAT and Production. Wrote and executed detailed QA test plans.
