Senior software engineer specializing in full stack web development, conversions / updates to new software version, and implementations.• Developed custom multi-tenant web portal in .NET using WCF service in C# in order to synchronize databases using distributed transaction coordinator (MS DTC).• Developed master authentication and security web site with two secondary sites (PlanServe Data Systems (PDS) .NET stack) which allowed a single point of entry for both secondary sites and seamless interface.• Designed and built MS SQL stored procedures for ongoing synchronization of master database with two secondary databases which allowed for daily data extraction, transformation, and upload of user data from a back-office data store to both the respective secondary site and the master site databases.• Designed and built method to migrate client data to initially build master database using parameterized SQLCMD procedures which significantly sped up initial conversion.• Converted old version client web sites to new PlanServe Data Systems (PDS) stack which included changing to responsive format and style sheet.

Senior Software Engineer responsible for daily web stack development, client scrums, off-shore resource development actions, code review, client site implementations, and deployment and maintenance of development site for client testing.• Developed client web sites using PlanServe Data Systems (PDS) stack (ASP.NET, C#, XML, XSLT, Javascript, CSS, MSSQL) which included N-tier web platform for seamless integration between data sources (OmniPlus, MSSQL) utilizing the Agile software development extreme programming methodology.• Created average of 10+ custom changes for web site development daily.• Increased web page delivery by collaborating with client stakeholders and transforming business requirements into technical design specifications which significantly decreased code delivery timeframe and increased client satisfaction. Kerri Richardson Page 2• Improved turnaround of off-shore resource code construction timing by 20% as a result of designing page usability, clarifying web page changes, requiring unit and integration testing, and code review implementation.• Created windows shell script code delivery process that reduced customer delivery timing by 75% by automating project code publish and database backups.• Trained clients in setup and implementation of PDS web platform in their environment which allowed clients to host their own test environments for quality assurance and penetration (PEN) testing.• Implemented PDS Smartfolder utility (C# Windows service) to support loading user data, documents, and email process which significantly simplified synchronization between web site MS SQL database with back-office flat file data (OmniPlus) as well as user event communications.
