Recruited to develop and support UI and Reporting features of customized central systems for clients operating video lottery terminals (VLTS) in multiple locations spanning entire states (including large casinos), leveraging C#, DB2, AIX Unix, SQL and Stored Procedures in a CMMI level 3 environment.• Identified, designed, and developed a feature in the core product that eliminated a key repetitive task.

I even dabbled in a little C to achieve this.• Was one of only a few developers trusted to design and implement on both front and back end. This included UI, reports, tables, triggers and stored procedure designs and development.• Became the primary point of contact for invoicing on a multi-state lottery system, as well as the general primary point of contact for stored procedure SQL query optimization.
