PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential

Consultant

• Responsible for testing SAS Reports and all Data Extraction Transformation and Loads ETL steps from 160 source file feeds of ten 10 PCAOB defined Functional Areas to staging SQL Tables, PDS SQL Tables, EDW, Data Marts and finally the SAS Reports.
• Created the Requirements Traceability Matrix RTM , Test Cases, Test Scenarios, Test Scripts and other supporting documents for the purpose of testing the various ETL stages and SAS Reports.
• While testing results of the ETL and Informatica from source feeds to SQL staging tables, using SQL Bulk Admin and SQL queries via the SQL Server Management Studio and Informatica Workflow Manager Monitor 63 of the 160 feeds were not properly cleansed prior to loading due to client PowerShell script errors and 23 feeds failed due to incorrect or inadequate specifications this resulted in 9 additional feeds in a new set of Requirements again from the client with only 3 feed specifications corrected.
