SECTION 3 - ACCOMPLISHMENTS/ACHIEVEMENTS
-
Verizon - The ETL system was flawed. IT clients did not trust the Data Warehouse data and didn't use it. I made major changes to the ETL system with a very good result. After my changes users began to trust the Data Warehouse and use it. I designed the changes, led the programming team that made the changes, managed the cutover.
-
Verizon/Telecel - Designed and programmed the Bill Printing subsystem to a successful result. Primary input was raw call data and final output was printed bills, fulfilled (stuffed) into mailing envelopes. This was a complex, multi-step process.
Encore Credit - Designed/Architected their first Data Warehouse system.
SAG-PPHP - With data from the Data Warehouse, designed and programmed a system that followed US Government specs so that SAG-PPHP could get reimbursed for claims paid out to "Early Retirees", as part of the Government's ERRP (Early Retiree Reimbusement Program). Result was the largest such reimbursement made to any Entertainment Industry Health Care company. The system survived all Government audits.
