Leading the Pentair Pool Builder Development & QA team

Designed and implemented an innovative project management application that uses a sophisticated process workflow engine to analyze a vast amount of data from multiple sources, proactively identify potential issues, enforce standards, and automatically drive processes to successful and timely completion.• Created a utility to collect and analyze component-related factory issues which reduced the average resolution time by more than 2 days resulting in an estimated annual savings of over $5M.• Designed an extensive data warehouse solution that aggregated information from a variety of sources into an optimized data repository and used advanced analytical techniques to extrapolate previously unknown information and relationships from the source data.• Used advanced algorithms to examine a vast number of underlying data points and metrics to automatically identify and communicate risks and issues, create status reports, and send alert notifications in real-time which saved the organization over 8000 hours of manual work each year and dramatically improved the accuracy of the information used to make business decisions.• Created an innovative system for managing the development of complex server solutions by leveraging the existing engineering data from each component contained within the solution in order to reduce the workload by 70%, improve visibility and communication of critical information, and more effectively drive the development processes to completion.• Reviewed, redesigned, and automated dozens of labor-intensive and error-prone manual processes resulting in greatly improved efficiency and more effective communications.• Maintained several legacy applications which used a variety of other technologies and frameworks such as Java, C++, MVC, VB, Oracle DB, SharePoint CSOM, Classic ASP, Bootstrap, MSMQ, and Kafka.

Developed a global process management application that was utilized by over 5000 users from HP Marketing, Engineering, Service, and Supply Chain organizations as well as our numerous ODM partners and suppliers to define and manage products throughout all phases of the product development lifecycle. • Credited by senior management as being primarily responsible for increasing organizational productivity by 50% while requiring dramatically fewer resources because of my efforts to streamline processes, to facilitate focused communication between employees, partners, and suppliers, and to automate complex, tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone activities. • Created an application to analyze the Customer Support call transcripts, identify and categorize the underlying issues, and automatically compare those issues to data within the test management and bug tracking databases in order to determine if any gaps existed in our test processes and to recommend changes to the test plans to ensure those issues are detected before products are shipped to the customers in the future. • Developed a Test Management application that reduced quality assurance cycle times by 20% and dramatically improved test effectiveness by automatically preparing test units, creating and managing reproducible, accurate, and comprehensive test plans, automating manual test procedures, and systematically compiling and communicating test results.• Led the merger of two large project management tools to create a combined application which utilized the best practices from each system and provided seamless support for both new and legacy processes in an effort to ease customer transitions, ensure minimal disruptions, and provide improved functionality for all users.

Responsible for designing, planning, developing, implementing, testing, and maintaining an innovative suite of applications that uses a highly intuitive graphical user interface and a common data repository to drive and manage all aspects of the Product Development Process • Developed a test data acquisition and management tool that provides real-time reporting and management of test plans, processes and statuses• Developed a deliverable and project management application that provides a common repository for deliverable and product processes and information including deliverable workflow, marketing requirements, schedules, issues, build plans, deliverable version control, and deliverable release management. The system also links with other systems to provide deliverable test results and integrated problem report management• Developed an inventory tracking system that utilizes scanners and barcodes to track the movement of assets throughout the division, enables a more efficient utilization of existing inventory, and maximizes productivity by increasing the visibility of available inventory items• Developed an Action Item management application. In addition to tracking action items, this application allows you to plan the contents and schedule of deliverable releases, dynamically generate requirement and specification documents, and generate customized status reports.• Developed a problem report management application that uses an integrated workflow engine to customize each data entry screen based on the current workflow step of the problem report and the role of each user• Participated in a process improvement team to define, document, and implement division-wide processes• Developed a test distribution and test results management system using C++• Executed test procedures and initiated problem resolution processes as needed• Refined and documented test procedures in an effort to improve test lab efficiency

Worked as a Information Systems Specialist for the 552nd AWACS• Automated tape library procedures which resulted in increased productivity and efficiency• Maintained off-site library to facilitate disaster recovery procedures• Documented existing tape library procedures• Established new quality assurance and testing procedures
