Develop a series of extensive T-SQL scripts for SQL Server 2000 that transformed XML data from a remote API. I also wrote a Build Management utility in .NET/C# that integrated with MS Team Foundation Server that simplified the Change Management process.

My initial responsibilities were to handle ETL transforms for feeds to and from various benefits companies (Cigna, Aetna, etc). Data processed by these ETL scripts would handle anywhere from a few hundred records to hundreds of thousands of records. The ETL scripts were a combination of T-SQL, Windows Batch and other utilities combined together with SQL Server DTS Packages. I was also the Lead Architect/Designer for a backend service that eventually replaced the use of SQL Server DTS Packages and allowed for a smoother, more fluid, less technical "package/feed" configuration.

Responsible for building and maintaining a software suite that integrated with a legacy DOS application using B-Tree databases. The software managed all of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) title accounts for the State of Arizona.
