> I started with Ferguson during the Uniport - moving all of their data & programs from Pick Sequoia machines to Unix machines running UNIBASIC. This required analyzing and potentially changing thousands of programs, as well as testing them. I worked with 20 other developers in this "all-hands-on-deck" effort.> The following are all written in UNIBASIC code:> Made various changes to our Sales system, Purchasing system, and Warehouseing Management system.> Started and managed a project to expand out warehouse numbers form 3-digits to 5-digits. This involved changes to nearly 1000 programs. I designed and coded changes, as well as managed the project to provide work and guidance to developers to help accomplish the work.> Helped code a project to allow IntraCompany sales to happen seamlessly, saving users many work-steps and time. This allowed a sales order in an account to create a purchase order to our distribution network, where it created a sales order there.> Designed and worked with 2 other programmers to create the Builder Suite of programs, software that enabled us to more easily work with builders and their customers.> Worked with another developer to re-write our sales order system. This effort was an 18 month effort that we were under pressure to complete in 6 months. We not only completed this project on time, it allowed us much more versatility in the suite of programs for changes, as well as introduced more best-practices in our coding efforts. We followed along with pricing tools and laser scanning.> Various changes in our Physical Inventory suite in addition to miscellaneous changes throughout our software.> Supported our Physical Inventory team during our Physical Inventories.> Performed Conversions and Acquisitions as needed.> Code Reviewed & Design Reviewed projects for other Developers.> Managed/supervised up to 10 other developers.
