I worked with managers and developers to aid in the completion of a major overhaul of the client’s technical infrastructure.

The systems developed were: Corporate Tax: 💫 Data Translator - This system consisted of a scheduler component which would generate data detail files in flat file format, then process a series of reports relating to sales, construction, 1099-MISC, and 1099-INT. In order to provide the best cost to benefit ratio, I developed the system to utilize SQL Server Reporting Services reports, which I converted into Excel, which finally converted back into text format for distribution to the end user. The latter two conversions were developed as a web service (C#) in order to promote reuse in other initiatives. 💫 Web Site – This system provides a means for FNF personnel to search for information pertaining to construction escrow, subsidiaries, and offices.
