PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Systems Architect

• Reviewed application designs and code for problems. While reviewing a Pharmacy application, for example, I discovered a potential for a HIPAA violation and worked with them to correct their application before any violation occurred.
• Worked with developers across the company to design their applications so that they worked reliably.
• Mentored developers on how to interact with the new SSO (Ping) that we are implementing.
• Wrote design and coding standards. I wrote the standards and much of the example code for using RESTful web services at Confidential . I also enforced Confidential ’s design and coding standards.
• Worked on the API Management project which was to have laid the ground work for SOA at Confidential .
• Supported and enhanced the MyReports system that I wrote in my previous position. I redesigned and wrote the new MyReports user interface as a SPA using C#, MVC, jQuery, Vue.js, JavaScript, HTML5/CSS3, REST Web APIs and MS SQL Server. The application was used as model for other development groups.
• Kept my responsibility as the build master for the Retail Systems area and expanded that responsibility to other groups who wanted to take advantage of the build process that I created to make them more productive.
• Designed and implemented applications for all departments as an internal contractor. The applications that I created were often used as models for new applications in the other departments.
• Championed the use of unit testing by showing how the quality of my applications was improved by using unit tests.

Confidential

Retail Systems Architect

• Wrote many applications for the retail area using VB.net, C#, ASP.NET, DB2, MS SQL Server, jQuery, JavaScript, ClearCase and TFS.
• Wrote many applications for the Pharmacy team on their AIX systems using Perl, AWK and Korn Shell.
• Became the build master for the Retail area. I set up the build server, created the build process and wrote many utilities to make the build process make the developers more productive. I set up the original build process using ClearCase and CruiseControl. Later when Confidential moved to TFS, I redesigned the build process to use TFS/MSTest/MSBuild.
• Provided technical education for the Retail Systems developers and helped them design their applications to be more reliable.
• Wrote many of the libraries that all Retail Systems applications use so that the other developers would not have to “reinvent the wheel” all the time.
• Created the “application template” that served as a starting point for new development in Retail Systems.
• Helped design and implement the new MyReports system. This system handles over 30,000 reports per day and has had no problems for 3 years.
• For the Pharmacy Central Fill project, I worked closely with the Pharmacy team to help them write programs to communicate with our vendor’s systems. This helped the Central Fill project become profitable within 1 year.
• Wrote all the back-end systems for Grocery Express. This was a precursor to the Curbside system that Confidential has today.

Confidential

Replenishment System Coordinator

• Designed, wrote, implemented and supported the Replenishment System.
• Helped design, write, implement and supported the Receiving System.

Confidential

Emulator Conversion Coordinator

• Became the expert in the vendor-written Series 1 emulator replacement to the extent that I was correcting the vendor code so that it worked reliably.
• Used that knowledge of the vendor code to help out the developers who interfaced with that vendor code.

Confidential, Flint, MI

Systems Engineer

• Maintained and enhanced the Systematic Engine Calibration system using C and FORTRAN.
• Created various utilities for the engineers to process the data, drastically shortening the time it took them to do their jobs. Many times, the utilities that I wrote allowed them to process data that was too time consuming for them to process otherwise.

Confidential, Flint, MI

Systems Engineer

• Wrote about 10 programs and maintained these systems after implementation.
• Created system utilities to handle potential problems. One of those problems occurred the week after implementation and this utility prevented a major problem.
