• Created Dynamic Report Tool, this tool can use any data source and allow end user to create custom reports, save reports as named reports and choose multiple delivery methods for reports
• Designed an abundance of automated services for many of their products that provided notification for support; and generated multiple daily reports after importing and parsing client data into their system
• Managed and implemented Team Foundation Server
• Architect and developed a document rules repository, that applied rules for client documentations that was created using a custom Windows UI Framework
• Led Angular development initiative as subject-matter expert
• Investigated new and emerging software applications within Fin Tech industry to design, select, implement and use administrative information systems effectively.
• Developed scalable and maintainable code, ensuring long-term stability of the software.

• Developed network and system architecture according to business needs.
• Collaborated with clients to determine project specifications and scope.
• Improved business productivity for clients by 40% by re-engineering and designing infrastructures.
• Architect and developed WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) duplex web service that allowed their products data sharing continuous communication to reduce overhead of client data mapping.
• Architect and refactor their Semantic product to make it more scalable for future infrastructures changes.
• Using technologies like Entity Framework, Expression Trees, WCF, Silverlight WCF Data Services, MVC and IOC (Inversion of Control) to modernize data flow between client data and taxonomy tagging for dynamic search description.
• Worked closely with customers, internal staff and other stakeholders to determine planning, implementation and integration of system-oriented projects.

• Developed enhancements for their proprietary Learning Management System.
• Managed 5 developers that were responsible for refactoring there course selection module to use new technology, Jquery, ASP.NET C#, using attribute-oriented programming.
• Implemented Team Foundation Server.
• Advised using SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle).
• It was necessary for them to have a strategic development process to minimize delivery of bugs and prosperous user experience.
• Unified disparate data structures and operating environments during revamps of processing facilities, data centers and more.
• Designed internal process improvements to automate repetitive tasks, shortening data delivery times.
