* SAS Developer/Analyst
Oct 2010 - Present
Create, enhance, and ultimately automate quarterly dash board reports using
SAS macros and excel. Continuous ad-hoc list and report production in an
ever changing, fairly high pressure work environment. Process requests from
marketers of various descriptions and complexities to email, mail, and call
clients across Cisco's customer base. Most work done in SAS Enterprise
Guide using data from SAS, Sales Force.com, and EXCEL. Work requires
complex joining and adaptations to messy data and chaos inherent to
marketing environments.

* Returning SAS Application Developer (consultant): Jun
2011 - Nov 2011
Use SAS to generate print flags in SQL Server
that ultimately control whether or not records print in EXCEL. This
analysis is spatial in nature and is fully automated and flexible and built
into the SQL Server/SAS code referenced below in the (sep2010 - Jan2011)
work description. Uses advanced techniques such as retain statements,
first./last. SQL into: macro techniques, and the use of SAS meta data to
enable full automation. Expand the SAS code created in late 2010 to include
15 more time periods.

* SAS Developer/SAS Analyst (consultant):
Sep 2010 - Jan2011
Converted 200 plus pages of SQL Server code
and SAS code into a completely automated process that requires no editing.
Uses SAS metadata to automate the names of columns used in secondary
queries. Tracks and monitors errors automatically and produces execution
reports to easily monitor the success execution at run time. Also creates
QC data to be used to continually monitor the stability of input and output
data. Heavy usage of SAS MACROS and ODBC "pass throughs" to run SQL Server
code from within SAS. Projected project completion, Jan 2011.

* SAS Developer/SAS Analyst (consultant):
June 2008 - Dec 2009
Converted series of piecemeal development SAS
programs designed to generate behavioral risk scores into automated, self-
monitoring production processes. Developed analysis MACROS for monthly
reporting across various metrics and report styles including proc gplot,
proc report, proc means, and customized data step processes (all converted
into excel). Executed literally hundreds of ad-hoc analyses- touching all
data sources, types, and needs. Mentor and teach less experienced coders in
SAS techniques and methods.

Statistical Modeler: (consultant):
Aug 2007- March 2008
Developed and implemented statistical models
to identify attributes of teller transactions that significantly effect the
transaction time in bank branches. Ultimately developed a composite model
that incorporated all significant attributes so that staffing needs can be
better determined and identified. Project used data sets with 30 million+
observations.

Application Engineer (consultant):
November 2002- April 2005
Designed, planned, coded, tested, and implemented massive householding
application. Application utilizes Firstlogic and SAS primarily to extract
approximately 80 Million business records from various data platforms
(ORACLE/ASCII/SAS/EXCEL) and origins, then performs data quality checks,
cleaning and standardization on all records before finally grouping records
into households and assigning numbers respectively. Application used for
cross referencing data across files. Final product consists of a large
relational data base in ORACLE and an automated process with built in QC
checks. Also trained Full Time Employee to execute the application after
development and testing. Overall saving to Wells Fargo in production costs
alone: approx 1 million dollars per year.
