Customized and configured ETL for many different clients.

Santa Barbara, Ca, Us

Developed an internal tool for ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) to seamlessly transfer data between databases. I also developed another tool called ETL Connect which worked with Partner systems, such as CTI, JDE, AMSI, ESITE, and older versions of Yardi's Voyager, to export data from their system into a format that could be easily imported via Yardi's ETL. While in this position I interviewed, hired, and trained new employees on my ETL team. I managed builds, plug-in releases, and hotfixes for our in-house ETL software, each capable of running on SQL Server and Oracle databases.

I sat on the Associated Students Legislative Council and worked on various projects to benefit students. One of my greatest accomplishments in this position was the successful raising of funds and implementation of skateboarding lanes on campus. This innovative concept allowed skateboarding to remain a legal means of transportation on campus while increasing safety for both skateboarders and pedestrians. 13+ years later and these skateboarding lanes remain. As far as I know, UCSB is the only university in the U.S. (and possibly the world) that has skateboarding lanes.
