• During the past two decades, responsibilities have grown from hands-on technical to more focus on leadership roles. Increasing from Team Lead to Management responsibilities from 2016 to current as TCS and Chennai teams expanded.
• Repeatedly stepped in to lead the BI department in Asmath’s absence during his medical leave and other occasions as needed.
• Managed the Data needs of the expanding BI department during the course of the past twenty years, including the expanding footprint of the original twelve US companies to the dozens now from Canada through S America. Personal focus has been on, as much as is practical, standardization of data structures and analytics tools across the Enterprise to avoid conflicting calculations and duplication of effort.
• Managed BI cross functional projects over the course of the past two decades, working most closely with the JDE team, Finance, Supply Chain, AP, AR and various Manufacturing teams as primary clients.
• Managed relationships and consistent integration points with internal application teams such as TrackPoint, CCF, CRD Dash, Connect and more recently the new Price Hub and Trade Compliance projects.
• Standardized JDE to ASSAMART data processing, achieving over 90% automation in configuration tasks.

A few major projects:

· Lead the integration and roll out for BI dozens of JDE integrations through ASSAMART and both standardized and custom reporting and dashboarding needs.

· Executed launch of twelve DSS, RSS, DG, and YSG companies into the initial design and launch of ASSAMART. This was followed by designing, developing and deploying the version 2 of ASSAMART with a distributed data model in 2005. This is still our current model after twenty years in service.

• Designed and the Engineered TrackPoint database supporting the web application which went live in 2007. The original version was hardware only and has been expanded to, as of last weekend, Kwikset from the new residential division.
• 2009 Redesigned 'GL Mart' warehouse from the solution purchased from Rapid Decision resulting in a reduction of an hour to typically less than one minute for JDE financial reports. This solution is still in service.
• Oversaw the JDE replication process to the marts and ODS for the past two decades, maintaining high data accuracy, improving processing, and expanding from sixty to support more than three hundred (300) concurrent tables. Expanded service to include Central and South American companies.
• 2019 Managed migration of NH BI team to WIPRO DC2 datacenter.

Ran the Pitney Bowes Escrow platform project through two production releases. The role included project planning, coordinating between local and remote technical resources (Montreal), regular specifications reviews, documentation, status reports, negotiations of contracts for application changes, technical documentation, and working with Sr. Management on milestones, status reports, and strategic planning.

Expanded the role of Praxinet to half of the consultancy's staff for the duration of the project.

Duties primarily included learning the Business Analyst, Documentation, Client Relationships, and Project Management tasks related to running increasingly complex projects, primarily working with various GE and Pitney Bowes departments. This was also the initial experience working with distributed teams, being that the technical team was based in Montreal.
