System Analysis and defect mitigation for Station Casinos Player Tracking Software

The Contract was originally scheduled for 6 months but was finished successfully in under 3.

oThe inhouse team at Station Casinos was unable to isolate corruption being experienced in production data for over 2 years and had several outside contracting firms investigate the issues.

oWithin the first couple weeks, I reproduced the issues in their development environments under 2 different scenarios.

oNot only did I ameliorate the original issue, but I also enhanced their logging (added configurable verbose logging), enhanced and repaired existing error handling, fixed an application hanging issue, repaired parameter data typing sizing, as well as eliminated aesthetic artifacts plaguing the system.

Station Casinos was facing heavy fines under Title31 audits and penalties. However today…

oStation Casinos is in full compliance

o Station Casinos has a stable application which outperforms expectations.

oTools and technology used: VB6 SQL Server 2016 TSQL DB2 iSeries
