Experience

Sr. Programmer Analyst 1999-Present

Mergent Inc. - Charlotte, NC

Primary responsibilities include design and development of

in-house applications with Delphi (Object Pascal), Perl, and PHP.

Here is a brief list of what I have done in my current position:

User Interface for Database Applications

I have created numerous GUI front-end for Database applications.

These applications have been designed and developed under Windows

environment. I usually use Delphi (Object Pascal) to design a

multithreaded GUI interface, which is connected to either Oracle

or MySQL as database to retrieve and or save data.

Windows Service Applications

I have created several Windows service applications. Some of

these applications have been designed to publish all the related

data from Oracle database to a MS-SQL database as they get

updated in the Oracle database in real time. These applications

are multi-threaded, Windows service applications, and I have

implemented them using Delphi (Object Pascal).

Some others have been designed to monitor continuously the output

folder of a PDF generator and move the created PDF files in this

folder to some designated folders in our network.

PL/SQL Packages

I have written several PL/SQL packages for my applications. In

one of them, the objective was to create an automated application

to retrieve, process, and load a daily ratings file from a third

party source. I decided to write a PL/SQL package containing

functions and procedures to take care of all the requirements in

this project. Using packages rather than writing queries inside

the code can be a better approach in some projects and I have

done it several times in my projects.

Perl Scripts

I have written several Perl scripts, which download data in

different formats from a FTP site to a local drive and do all the

necessary processes like unzipping the files and converting them

to a proper format and then finally populate them in a local

database (usually Oracle or MySQL).

Web Applications

I have done a few web applications using PHP. One of them was a

small web application, which I wrote in PHP and I used HTML, and

Java Script to complete the task. Users of this application can

verify an existing annual report in PDF format and or delete

related records of a specific annual report from two MS-SQL

databases and delete the actual PDF file as well.

In another project, which originally has been written in

PHP/Smarty with Oracle as the backend, I had to convert this

application from Oracle to MySQL database. So, I was mostly

involved in converting queries from Oracle to MySQL and connect

them to the PHP code.

Environment: Delphi 6, Delphi 2005, Delphi XE2, Perl, PHP,

Windows NT and Windows 7.

Database: Oracle, MySQL, and MS-SQL

Software Development Approach: SDLC and Agile Methodologies.
