Collaborated with accounting, human resources, purchasing, and materials management teams to coordinate the solution with their designs. This enabled us to use system triggers for transactions that would normal require human intervention.

Partnered with 20+ onshore and offshore developers to test and debug entire solution prior to plant installations.
