Experience

Philidor Rx Services, Hatboro, PA May 2015 – November 2015

Senior Software Developer

Philidor Company Shutdown Planned for January 2016

Developed a Microsoft Azure based C# MVC website for a retail pharmacy that takes patient refill orders and enters them into the on premise CarePoint pharmacy ERP system.

Developed an on premise service oriented architecture that provided the integration between the website and CarePoint. This SOA was implemented using C# WCF Services that provided numerous on premise services such as order queueing, order fulfillment, co-pay pricing, address validation, credit card payment processing. The on premise WCF Services interfaced with the website through the Azure Service Bus Relay. The order queueing was implemented using the Azure Service Bus Queueing services.

Developed a C# Windows Service that used the Task Parallel Library to read orders off of the Azure Order Queue and create tasks to process individual orders in parallel in order to maximize order throughput. Integration into CarePoint ERP was achieved by reverse engineering how native application interfaced with its database using SQL Profiler. LINQ and Entity Framework were used for database interaction of this Windows Service.

Rastelli Foods Group – Global Division, Swedesboro, NJ October 2009 – May 2015

Programmer Analyst

Developed an MVC 4 C# Intranet Web Site that provides Time Study data and analysis for a variety of manual tasks performed by Warehouse personnel for measuring actual labor costs. The web site uses Telerik Kendo UI controls in all of the View components. AJAX is used to provide a superior user interface experience. Telerik Reporting controls were also used for task time and cost analysis. Entity Framework 6.0 is used for all access to the existing SQL Server 2005 database.

Developed a C# Web Form application that permitted external customers to place their orders online. This application interfaced directly with the ASPEN Canopy ERP system’s database to create a sales order identical to one created by the Aspen ERP user interface. SQL Profiler was used to reverse engineer how native Canopy application interacted with the database. A variety of internal business rules and supplier minimum ordering quantity requirements were enforced during the generation of new sales orders. This application employed a workflow transaction concept to support the state of the customer ordering process: tracking the back & forth nature of price requests, any minimum ordering requirements, automatic notification via e-mail of relevant events, ability to monitor and track status of customer’s shopping carts. Additional transactional steps were required for the customer to approve their order and for internal sales personnel to accept the order. The application also computed the shipping container utilization and related fees so the customer knew how many containers were needed for shipment. This allowed the procurement of food products to occur without any customer cancellations or any perceived miscommunications about order content. This application runs on a SharePoint 2007 portal.

Mentored a web site software developer on the non user-interface components of the retail web site. I helped increase his skills in the server’s business tier C# code, SQL server stored procedure coding, and SQL Server table design.

Developed a C# WinForms application that allows the Accounting department to customize how commissions are to be paid to outside brokers. The customization is based on the broker, what customers the broker services, and the relevant products (food and non-food). The application also allows for Accounting to specify the type of calculation (ex: flat rate, markup, margin) as well as what price component (ex: Sell Price, Gross Profit).

Developed a C# WinForms application that calculates a product’s selling price based on one or more user defined price components. The calculation method is also user defined thus allowing sales to keep the desired profit margins for products as the vendor’s cost of these products change over time.

Developed a C# WinForms application that matched up customer sales orders with outstanding inventory and purchase orders to automatically generate new purchase orders for the appropriate products and respective quantities and to deliver the purchase order to various food suppliers. This application interfaced with the ASPEN ERP system to determine inventory, sales orders, and creation of a new purchase order within the ERP identical to the one created by the ERP user interface. A variety of internal business rules and supplier minimum ordering quantity requirements were enforced during the generation of new purchase orders.

Developed a C# Windows Service that imported pricing data from an Excel spreadsheet (dropped by a user in a network folder) for Reinhart Food Service, converted to Reinhart’s internal format, and uploaded via FTP to Reinhart Food Service.

Developed a C# WinForms application that provided an interface for receiving products between the warehouse staff and the ASPEN ERP system. This application enforced company specific business rules such as minimum shelf life requirements & prevention of over-receiving products against purchase orders thus ensuring ASPEN’s inventory only contained products that met company & customer requirements.

Developed a C# WinForms application that provided the means for Customer Service personnel to customize the various fees that are included on Pro Forma Invoices.

Developed a C# WinForms application to handle all delivery appointments.

Developed a large variety of SSRS reports to meet various internal & external requests. Some of these reports dealt with Customer Profitability, Vendor Performance, and Sales History. These reports were hosted on our SharePoint portal for internal & external use.

Omicron Consulting LLC Bala Cynwyd, PA August 2008 – September 2009

Senior Developer

Developed C# software for a .NET 2.0 intranet web application (Agency Information Management - AIM) that allowed agency personnel to manage all aspects of matching volunteers with children. C# software was developed for all parts of the web site including the user interface (server side and Java Script), server side objects to provide business logic, e-mail support and database access. Developed and maintained SQL Server 2005 stored procedures and triggers to support various features of the system.

Developed a C# .NET 2.0 internet application that allows volunteers to enter enrollment information online that was later used by Agency personnel in the AIM web application.

Developed numerous SQL Server 2005 Integration Services packages to perform extract, transform, and load operations to exchange data between the BBBSA data warehouse and the AIM intranet web application database.

Developed C# Web Parts that replaced several classic ASP budget related web pages for use in an internal SharePoint 2007 portal.
