the way for providers of traditional education preparation programs to
inform Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GAPSC) of their
program participants to support data collections in connection with
GAPSC's program approval function, support State and Federal
reporting, allow for granting eligibility to take GACE assessments,

Client Name: LPL Financials, San Diego, CA
Designation: Sr. SQL Server Developer
11/29/2010 - to date
Project Description: LPL Financial serves the unique business needs of over
12000 financial advisors with unbiased research and nonproprietary
products. LPL financial has reporting system called Portfolio Manager (PM)
reporting system and it is used by financial advisors. Broadridge (client
to LPL) sends business data to LPL server daily in raw text files. These
files are parsed, loaded and processed at LPL.
Roles and Responsibilities:
. Created stored procedures for synthetic transactions to determine the
Opening Buy and Closing Sell accounts. Opening Buy synthetic
transactions are determined by looking at the positions and
activity/transaction data for a particular account. The difference of
quantity between position and transaction determines the type of
synthetic activity. Similar stored procedure created for Closing Sell
synthetic transactions.
. DIS Job Scheduler (Data Integration Service - Scheduler): Created SQL
scripts for DIS Scheduler to execute the stored procedure to populate
the synthetic transaction data. This is the automated process which
execute at scheduled time.
. Backward compatibility SQL Script: To safeguard the existing
production database the backward compatibility SQL scripts were
created before new production release. Once the production script
executed and due to some reason did not support the new environment,
then backward compatibility scripts were executed to bring back the
database to previous position.
. Data availability: LPL Financial organization has three different SQL
Server environments called BODS, LPL and AXA. When Broadridge project
deployed in production, worked with LPL business team to validate
production data. Also ensured the data is available in all three
environments.
. T-SQL script to Alter tables (add columns, drop columns,
add/drop/modify constraints).
. Performance tuning.
. Created logical and physical table structure for Broadrigde Database.
. Written test cases for testing stored procedures.
. Coordination with job scheduling team (Integration services).
. Loading business data in development and QA environment received from
Broadridge using Updater tool (interface).
. Created user guide for production deployment.

Client Name: CardinalHealth, Dublin, OH
Designation: Technical Lead / SSIS-SQL Developer
03/01/2010 - 11/19/2010
Project Description: Customer Service Workstation (CSW) is a Windows-based
(GUI) application used by all Cardinal's Pharmaceutical Distribution (PD)
Centers to serve customers. It provides Customer Service Representatives
(CSRs) the ability to access these functionalities:
. Customer Inquiry
. Order Inquiry
. Credit Inquiry
. MRA Entry
. Product Inquiry
. Order Entry
. Call Tracking
. Drop ship
CSW processes are broken into three tiers
Tier 1: CSW workstation/desktop/Virtual PC: Resides on the client
workstation, contains Graphical User Interface (GUI) logic, and performs
minimal caching with remote refresh for customer lookup. Tier1 performs
DCOM calls to Tier2 using a sync DCOM callbacks to return requested data.
CSW Tier1 is written in MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class)/C++.
Tier 2: NT Server (CVP - Cardinal View Port): Performs service locating,
caching of definitional data, supports DCOM requests from Tier1, uses DCOM
free threaded model for session management of multiple users and
communicates with Tier3 hosts through structured data packets with order
dependent and field length specified protocol. The implementation of
asynchronous communications between Tier1 and Tier3 allows for push from
Tier3 all the way to Tier1 without polling and without blocking any
requests. CSWTier2 is written in C++.
Tier 3: Host System (AS/400): From Tier2 a text based command request
structure is passed via sockets to the host. Responses are text based
structures formatted with fields and field lengths. The host system
contains live business data while Tier1 and Tier2 transport and display the
data upon user request. CSWTier3 consists of all business rules for
processing requests and getting information. If CSW Tier3 is down then CSW
user will get an error message saying that he/she can't connect to host.
Roles and Responsibilities:
. Created SSIS packages and deployed in Production SQL Server 2008.
These SSIS packages process daily call records to Oracle database. ETL
job then pull data from Oracle and load in Teradata database. The
business user views the daily call data reports using Microstrategy
reporting tool. The current database SQL Server 2000 was using DTS
packages which upgraded to SQL Server 2008. There was one issue, the
Microsoft OLE DB Driver for Oracle was not working in new 64 bit
operating system environment. By using linked server and breaking
process in two different jobs resolve the issue.
. Responsible for testing and validating SSIS packages and data in
staging and training environment after upgrading database to SQL
Server 2008.
. Created a utility using OSQL in SQL Server 2008 and removed the old
process. There were forty database servers. One process was executing
weekly on each database server. This process was used to detect
printing issue, which was logged in one table. The old process was
creating forty files. From the size (greater than zero byte) of each
file the business user was detecting the server to look into. I
created all results summarized in one file with only that server which
has issue.
. Modified T-SQL queries in existing stored procedures to improve the
performance.
. There was replication process in SQL Server 2000. It was replicating
data from central Production server to local four different CSW
databases. Same process implemented in the SQL Server 2008. My
responsibility was to compare data on both SQL Server 2000 and SQL
Server 2008 environments. I used one non-documented stored procedure
provide by Microsoft, which selects all the tables from one database
and inserting in table.
. Migrated application server (OS windows 2003) to new server with
upgraded operating system (Windows 2008)
. Written test cases to validate the data in staging and production
environment.
. Coordinated and validated data with Oracle, Micro Strategy and ETL
team
. Experience with Microsoft Business Intelligence Development Studio
(BIDS) and Report Builder 2.0
. Weekly/daily status update to client manager.

Property and Casualty claims is up and running. As Hartford organization
had outsourced claims business. Helped business to define the storage

contain PII (Personal Identifiable Items). Requirements were to mask the
data fields which contains PII elements e.g. Personal Data accessed from
Department of Motor Vehicle office through application to validate the
driving license record.
. Coordination with Business Team and middle management to get approval on
RBAC. RBAC approved by Legal group, The Hartford Information Protection
