Members are incentivized with higher interest rates when they make purchases with their debit card, and the Tracker provides them with daily progress on that metric.Spearheaded a transition from manual to automated data extracts using SQL Server Integration Services and SQL Server Reporting Services, helping departments across the organization get faster updates on key metrics, saving dozens of hours of manual work every week.Configured Arbor’s build/deployment pipeline using Subversion, TeamCity, and Octopus Deploy, ensuring our deployments are done completely and correctly every time.Maintained the ETL framework used by the team and our automated processes daily (consisting of SQL Server Integration Services, Altair Automator, and a series of custom apps).Introduced the idea of internal “playbooks” – procedures documenting all aspects of new development, maintenance, and day-to-day operations of the department. These were frequently updated to refine them and to capture new scenarios encountered by the team. Show less
