Senior IT Consultant / MS SQL Developer / MS SQL DBA / Database Architect

• A Senior SQL DBA & Architect on site for over a year was contracted as the Senior DBA to do an assessment on the current MLM ERP system utilized for capturing close to 15+ terabytes of data. Our accomplishments included building a custom replication/ETL tool for consolidating genealogy data from 9 disparate databases (Oracle, MySQL, Informix, SQL Server, and COBOL) into a new SQL 2005 data-warehouse. We built the ETL tool utilizing .NET 3.0 framework, C#/ ASP.NET for the front end application, SSIS for the bulk loading and a SQL Server rules engine for the backend for data transformation, scrubbing, and consolidation. The Architect & Design was built around a batch process that controlled the pipeline of data that is generated from the initial data repository. As a senior consultant my duties normally spread out which causes me to wear many hats during most Software Development Lifecycle’s. My duties also included Project Manager, Chief Architect, and Backup Support DBA. As the Project Manager my duties included gathering requirements through multiple discovery phases, and frequent meetings with stakeholders. After completing the assessment and confirmed requirements, dependencies/risks, my duties included building a qualified resource pool through interviewing and hiring qualified candidates to eventually take over. My resource pool on this project consisted of 2 DBA’s, 1 SQL developer, 1 analyst, 2 .Net developers, and 1 tester. As the Chief Architect my duties included architecture & design, data modeling the business requirements into scope, transferring the scope into a FSD, defining required tasks, enforcing standardization & change management, and defining a timeline for completion. Backup Support included picking up the slack, enforcing code peer reviews, solid documentation, system & security audits, risk assessment, and acting DBA when required. Also building the required workflows and business processes to maintain productivity, system capacity planning, and consistent internal tracking/reporting using SSRS. As a hand on person, my duties also included assisting in areas where required and developing maintenance plans for the new 2008 Data Warehouse.
• A SQL DBA consultant on site for over 2 years, and contracted to provide a complete platform/product assessment for their current MLM EPICOR ERP client/server environment. The company wanted to see if the current ERP environment was scalable enough to handle a potential acquisition and company expansion to other areas outside of California. My duties were to reverse engineer the current TSQL stored procedures responsible for keeping the data/inventory moving. After the assessment create and deliver a four-wall analysis report identifying areas of concern and alternative solutions. After my discovery report; which determined the maximum capabilities and forecasted growth, our decision was to provide an interim solution and implement a new Oracle ERP platform capable of handling the potential volume of data. My duties were extended to Interim Chief Architect to design/determine the best interim solution; which included providing a complete cost analysis, resources required, suggested technology, and timeline for completion. After design approval my duties got extended to IT Manager where I reported directly to the CIO. Here I contracted and managed 9 EPICOR developers, 2 SQL DBA’s, 2 VB.NET engineers, 4 testers, and 2 help desk resources. During this software development lifecycle, I continued to wear multiple hats including custom development, project management, and overseeing this entire engagement. I also implemented a change and configuration management system to track production code changes and managed the staff. This included implementing a change control process, for code and document sharing that could be easily auditable if required.
