Senior Applications Developer ................................................................. March 2001 to July 2005

Participated in key computer system development projects for Target Corporation’s Distribution department in the Technology Systems division.

• Redesigned a key UNIX-based daemon program that enforces a new, complex set of business rules governing warehouse withdrawal logistics.
• Served on the pilot project team for the implementation of voice recognition logistics software for warehouse picking. Designed and constructed a daemon program connecting the Target distribution system with the Voxware VoiceLogistics software system. The program continuously listens for store withdrawal requests from a centralized corporate application; interprets, organizes, and bundles the requests; and transmits the bundles in coded form to the voice logistics application.
• Worked on a team tasked with enhancing Target’s bar code labeling system to improve unpacking and distribution efficiency throughout all stores. Quickly mastered high-speed label printing hardware and related control software. Reformatted information on numerous specialized labels, utilizing both American and European bar code standards.
