Riversand Project # 5: VF Corporation, Greensboro, NC

Sr. Software Developer / Implementation Lead (80% onsite / 20% remote @ Houston Office)

Purpose: Implementing a complex multi-brand multi-domain AFS MDM solution for the world’s

largest apparel and footwear corporation as part of the Arcadia initiative. The solution

includes inheritance for the material domain through a 4 level entity hierarchy for

maintaining attribute variances by the Master Data Library (MDL) extension catalogs, which

includes Master, Plant, Sales Organization, or Seasonal catalogs. Customer and Material

domain also include workflow catalogs for Staging enriched data and an extensive approval

process for promoting the enriched data to a Master catalog. Utilizing almost all product

hooks to build a highly customized and performance tuned solution, including customized

business rules, import formatters, export formatters, API events, web events, web pages,

workflows, and dynamic reports.

Responsibilities:

Managed a direct team of 10+ individuals and worked alongside business analysts,

technical writers, team leads, project managers, and executives to ensure both timely

and quality deliverables

Performance tuned the database and application with the engineering team to ensure

optimal parallelization options and prevent potential deadlock scenarios. This allowed

millions of entities and over a billion attributes to process in a timely fashion, which is

critical for new seasonal releases

Designed and worked in-parallel with the SOA team to integrate the MDM solution as

the primary hub in a Hub and Spoke architecture with over 60 downstream systems

consuming syndicated information and 5 major systems sending aggregated information

back to MDM. These include SAP, GTM, DOM, PLM, and Logility.

Worked with IBM to troubleshoot VM stability and provide logic for BI reporting to

ensure data integrity and attribute synchronization across the business critical

applications.

Integrated a matching and merging engine to interface with the project customizations

to check out Customer or Vendor domain entities from the corresponding Master catalog

into the Staging catalog for data enrichment

Implemented a complex custom import provider which processed a de-normalized

import file and normalized the file data to create or update entities across the entire

hierarchical/MDL tree

Developed, refactored and deprecated business logic in the C# customization project

code base through 3 major phases of the project, ensuring that the final solution met the

business needs discovered during the requirements gathering session of each project

phase

Riversand Project # 4: ESAB, Baltimore, MD

Sr. Software Developer / Implementation Lead (100% remote @ Houston Office)

Purpose: Implementing a complex manufacturing domain multi product solution consisting of

an integrated MDM, MAM, and Print solution to feed both internal downstream systems as

well as provide data for the dynamically constructed front end website.

Responsibilities:

Implemented a MAM solution which allowed both an automated workflow for asset

quality validation, automated metadata parsing, and multiple taxonomies for

categorically organizing approved assets

pg. 2

Introduced metadata localization for custom attributes to store variances by Country

Implemented a Print solution as an INDESIGN plugin which would poll for both PIM

metadata and MAM assets to automatically generate product brochures, fact sheets, and

printed catalogs. These dynamically generated documents were then stored and

versioned within MAM

Environment: MS SQL 2012, Windows Server 2012, Apache 2.4, Tomcat, Open BD

Riversand Project # 3: Automation Direct, Cumming, GA

Sr. Software Developer / Implementation Lead (15% onsite / 85% remote @ Houston Office)

Purpose: Implementing an integrated MDM and MAM solution for the manufacturing domain.

Responsibilities:

Implemented a MAM for Automation Direct which allowed an asset management team

to categorically organize assets within a different taxonomy than the product taxonomy

and associate those assets to entities within the PIM solution

This solution included automated import functionality and implementing metadata

parsing of the filename to both write additional exif metadata along with create

relationships to both PIM categories and entities

Environment: MS SQL 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, Apache 2.4, Tomcat, Open BD

Riversand Project # 2: Bed Bath and Beyond, Union, NJ

Sr. Software Developer / Implementation Lead (80% onsite / 20% remote @ Houston Office)

Purpose: Implementing an integrated MDM and MAM solution for the retail domain with cross

system search functionality.

Responsibilities:

Gathered requirements for satisfying the business need of an asset management

solution

Used AGILE development methodologies to allow business users to interact with the

solution while refining or introducing feature requests

Implemented a web-based Media Asset Manager (MAM) for Bed Bath and Beyond,

which included functionality for automated workflows based on standard exif metadata

and exporting assets to outside locations using a restful WCF service coded in C#.

Additionally, a Windows service was designed and developed to create asset

relationships between entities in the master data management system (MDM) by

consuming a WCF service bound over Net.TCP, performance optimized stored

procedures analyzed through the SQL server tracing, and storing custom metadata with

assets through a .NET API wrapper for MAM UI based extensive search capabilities

Created a MVVC web application for displaying MDM information directly within the

MAM software, which in turn allows the user to view entity relationships and add or

remove relationships in real time

Created business rules utilizing the PIM business rule framework to update PIM entities

indicating MAM updates requiring approval to promote from the PIM staging catalog to

the PIM master catalog.

Added user requested core MAM functionality such as normalized search queries, copy

functionality, and external URL workflow calls directly within the UI through plugins

developed in jQuery, HTML, CSS, and Cold Fusion. Setup demos and showed potential

clients such as Chevron and Schneider Electric the extensibility of the Media Asset

Manager and customizations offered through the configurable workflows.

Implemented a custom export formatter using the export framework in PIM to tie

information from PIM, MAM, and Print into a single export. This allowed dynamically

building the global website from localized PIM master data, MAM assets, and Print

documents.

Purpose: Implementing an integrated MDM and MAM solution for the product and services

domain.

Responsibilities:

Implemented a MAM solution for Schneider Electric with the ability to create an asset

entity within PIM and then associate that entity with a PIM product by common metadata

through relationships. This solution allowed business users to easily access and manage

the global asset repository with a thin client consisting of the user’s preferred browser.

Dec. ’12

Lead Software Developer

Purpose: Implement custom back office software solutions to comply with the ever-changing

requirements of the mortgage industry from various government regulatory agencies.

auditing system. Utilizing HTML, CSS, SSI, AJAX, JQuery, and ASP, this web enabled

application allowed authenticated back office users to fill out dynamically generated

audits based off loan information in both the backend database and Calyx loan

management system. The auditor utilized this information for generating risk

management, payroll, reconciliation, and compliance reports required by governing

entities.

Designed and developed a weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly payroll reporting system

which would calculate production bonuses, net funds, transactions generated, and

quality reports through consuming the auditing results. Additional development projects
