Analyzed and designed replacement tables using Oracle Designer 6i; analyzed, designed, developed and tested data loading processes using Oracle PL/SQL and Quest SQL Navigator in an Oracle 8i database running on DEC Alpha UNIX. Created, performance-tuned, and implemented a set of PL/SQL packages and stored procedures used to load and transform external data into a data warehouse. These interfaces process between 500,000 and 1 million records per day, from both external data files and remote databases, and were developed using PL/SQL 8.0 and implemented on an Oracle database running under HP UNIX. The transformed data is used to support a wide variety of management, financial, and operational reporting needs for a large telecommunications company. Converted a consulting firm's work-in-process and client billing system from Oracle character mode tools to Oracle Developer Forms 5.0 in a client-server Microsoft Windows environment. Also designed and developed Oracle Forms applications allowing management-level employees to monitor and manage client, engagement, backlog, and pipeline data. Developed applications to manage a telecommunications company's telephone cards. Software was created to provide querying, transactional, and reporting functions for customer support, product management, finance, and external user groups. Applications were developed using Oracle Forms (Oracle Developer) under Microsoft Windows. Led a project to convert more than 120 reports in a large application to the graphical Oracle Reports tool (Oracle Developer) from character-mode Oracle SQL*ReportWriter 1.1. Developed standards and procedures, converted many of the reports, and redesigned reports to take advantage of graphical features available in the new environment. Designed and developed a system for producing, scanning, processing, and statistically reporting student evaluation surveys for employer-provided training at a major manufacturer. This system, implemented using an Oracle database and Oracle tools and running on IBM mainframe and HP Unix minicomputer platforms, facilitates the ongoing evaluation of instruction provided to more than 60,000 employees, and is integrated into the company's larger Training Management System. Designed and developed an administrative information system for a northwest non-profit organization. Identified and assessed requirements, converted the existing database to a relational model using Microsoft Access, constructed an application to maintain donor and customer data, and designed query and report templates that enabled the client to develop reporting capabilities without outside assistance.
