Application Development:

Developed the ADUWeb Application in coordination with the Human Resource department for users to maintain their business contact information in the corporate directory. The goal of the application was to minimize stale and inaccurate information that was impeding communications across the organization, thereby increasing efficiency. Additional interface improvements were made to allow the users easier access to scheduling and contact data for each of the employees. The application was developed with ASP.Net.

Created a Timesheet and Cost Center distribution system to replace the Excel based timesheet system for the Fiscal department. The current system was prone to errors that affected the accuracy of time reporting. The new system interfaces to the Payroll and Human Resource databases. Additionally, the new system provides a means for Payroll to generate ad-hoc analysis of time and attendance data from a centralized database. The system was designed in ASP.Net and SQL Server.

Created an application for the Fiscal department to take LTD, Life, and AD&D data from an Excel file provided by an associate company and then load the data into the Fringe database. This application was developed in VB.Net and as a result saved data entry time and prevented data entry errors.

Created another application for the Fiscal department to extract data from the Fringe database to be imported into another proprietary system. Again this application was developed in VB.Net and as a result saved data entry time and prevented data entry errors.

Created another application for the Fiscal department to take the text from the Mutual of America web sites source code, extract and reformat the data from the HTML, and then load the data into the Fringe database. This application was developed in VB.Net and as a result saved data entry time and prevented data entry errors.

Created another application for the Fiscal department to copy key payroll information from the Payroll database to a formatted Excel spreadsheet. This data extract is used for periodic analysis and saves research time. This application was developed in VB.Net.

Designed an application for the Resource Development department to create export files from the Volunteers Database to be imported into a proprietary database. This application was developed in VB.Net and as a result saved data entry time and prevented data entry errors.
