PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
1/12 - 5/15. Compass Professional Health Services
Senior ETL/SSIS Developer
At Compass I automated all file loads that would come to us
from many different clients. Automating the loads involved
the creation of countless SSIS packages created to download
the files, put files through extensive business rules
tailored to each client, validated the data to make sure
the key components were present, distributed the data to
the right tables in the data warehouse and produced
reports. In order to gather all business rules, I had to
interact with both, senior level executives and various
departments such as client services and business
operations. The SSIS packages are a combination of SSIS
tasks and SQL stored procedures. The packages were created
in Visual Studio 2008 and 2012. I upgraded earlier packages
to 2012. The file sources came in many different formats
such as csv, txt, xls, dat, pgp, zip, EDI files, etc. I
also created automated processes to login to the client's
SFTP sites to report on any files that were uploaded that
were not part of the medical claims files. In addition I
led a team of developers overseas and guided them to create
extra SSIS packages to load other types of files to support
the business. Besides SSIS, I also used SSRS to create
custom reports and TFS to manage package
changes/versioning.
