I create, plan, and triage the documentation work required for all five teams.Implemented a tool that automated the process of finding broken URL links in the documentation. Before this initiative, this was a manual process and many broken links were fixed in the first automated scan.Created the first manual test plan for our documentation which is executed each release. Executing these tests resulted in 40+ issues being fixed that would have made it into the final release of the documentation. Attained the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer certification in my first year to deliver more detailed documentation and improve collaboration with Engineering and Product stakeholders.

Updated an existing tool which extracted Point-of-Sale data from book stores using Shopify. I updated the program to also extract data from the Lightspeed and Square POS systems using the REST APIs they provided. I created an ASP .NET page where our clients were authorized through OAuth 2.0. After successful authentication, we extract and parse the data automatically each week then export it to CSV format.

This application is built using Visual Studio and C#.Created a tool that allowed our internal staff to replace the cover images of existing book titles. This involved creating a file browser on the web page which allowed users to interact with the files on the server. These files were referenced in the SQL database so all references had to be updated or deleted based on user actions. Created three new ASP.net web pages from scratch which allowed users to createand export custom reports.Created three separate SOAP web service methods which allowed users to retrieve SQL data in the form of a text file or displayed as XML.

My code generated an excel worksheet containing the employee’s Assignee ID, last name, first name, the last date each employee logged data into the system and finally the SLA date. There were two buttons on the spreadsheet, a button which allowed the user to run the macro simply and another which enabled the user to clear all the cells in the spreadsheet quickly. When the button was clicked, the imported document would be opened in another tab which made copying between the documents easy. Report BuilderThe second project I worked on was a Report Builder application. The purpose of this application was to allow the user to generate different styles of reports depending on their inputs. The first stage was the import stage. The application had to read data from Excel .csv files and write this data to a database. Microsoft Access was used for the databases involved. SQL commands were used to retrieve data from the Access databases. Show less
