Profile

Over 20 years of delivering IT solutions as a developer and project manager. I’ve been involved in every stage of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and am familiar with both waterfall and agile methodologies. I am experienced in communicating with business users and stakeholders including authoring and validating system requirements and implementation schedules. My technical focus has been on “backend” technologies but I am conversant in many aspects of front end platforms. I am articulate, motivated and a “hands on” technical leader.

Experience

07/2013 – 08/2019 Data Analytics and Lead SQL Developer

DTCC, Boston MA

Most recently worked with the Product team to create and improve Data Analytics queries. Our focus was on creating metrics to demonstrate the added efficiency in trade settlement when clients made use of our entire product suite. In addition to providing our clients with insight into their settlement processing, our work resulted in the identification of subtle upstream defects in our systems that answered some longstanding client questions.

Initially brought onboard to extend functionality of an existing benchmark/metric product. Rewrote a major component responsible for producing data files delivered to clients. Standardized SQL scripts for client data extracts. Queries were written in T-SQL and PL/SQL to extract data from Sybase and multiple Oracle database systems. Developed a scheduler process using Perl and a database to define dependencies and execute/deliver data files when the required data was successfully loaded. Prior to this all jobs were run en masse using CRON.

Developed a standalone application in Python with WxWidgets to enable business users to perform custom database loads in support of additional analytic reports. Modified and created new tasks in Oracle Golden Gate to update replication between different database servers. Supported offshore team members in India, London and Manila.
