Littleton, Ma

Worked as a primarily backend developer on the Emptoris Virtual Supply Master application. In the Emptoris suite, VSM acts as the coordinater and master data curator, managing login, users, and any other data which are shared by the other applications in the suite. VSM also manages the synchronization of that data between the other applications.My main areas of focus were in the batch uploader for bulk data import / export via xlsx or csv files, SOAP webservices, and the Data Synchronization Framework. My largest user stories were implementing integration of different business objects between VSM and other applications in the suite, and stabilizing the batch import / export functionality for all of the business objects to be round-trippable (export to excel / csv, make any edits, import). I also worked on various miscellaneous backend business logic user stories. Along with coding these user stories, my role also included writing the user story acceptance criteria and design documents, presenting that acceptance criteria to all involved parties of the team (PM, QA, doc, dev), dealing with any necessary clarifications, and a showcase at the end of the sprint.
