Worked with network subject-matter experts to expand their skill sets into using a variety of RDBMS products and SQL to automate labor intensive, manual tasks. Also acted as de facto Linux system and Postgres database administrator for the team, and provided hand-on training for development tools like Eclipse, DBeaver, PgAdmin III/4, Git and GitHub.Solved complex problems related to network modeling, RFP analysis, and financial reporting… Show more Leader for team transformation and training. Worked with network subject-matter experts to expand their skill sets into using a variety of RDBMS products and SQL to automate labor intensive, manual tasks. Also acted as de facto Linux system and Postgres database administrator for the team, and provided hand-on training for development tools like Eclipse, DBeaver, PgAdmin III/4, Git and GitHub.Solved complex problems related to network modeling, RFP analysis, and financial reporting using advanced SQL features such as analytical and windowing functions, common table expressions (CTE), including recursive CTEs, sequence generators, and procedural SQL (i.e. PL/pgSQL in Postgres or Oracle PL/SQL).Helped identify tens of millions of dollars in annual savings related to procurement of network equipment.Developed a complex relational database to automate capital cost and deployment modeling in support of CenturyLink’s $3.5 billion, seven year participation in the FCC Connect America Fund II (CAF2) program. The database enabled the creation of new deployment scenarios in minutes versus days and weeks; thereby allowing CenturyLink to negotiate with the FCC for more favorable terms. Outputs of the model also provided detailed launching points for planning, engineering and constructions teams to meet program commitments. Automation provided by the model saved thousands of planning hours compared to manual compilation of network costs and site prioritization across 33 states (comprising thousands of potential deployment locations, and 30 million homes and businesses).Collaborated with optical transport architects to automate a comparison analysis of multi-vendor RFP responses for next-gen transport technology.

Projects included tracking new DSLAM deployments, tracking planning/engineering/construction of new fiber routes, held order tracking and reporting, DSLAM bandwidth capacity management with time to exhaust forecasts.Mentored summer intern to complete a web/database application from start to finish under strict time constraints.Prepared and hosted multiple training sessions with peers to help facilitate transitions to new tools and methods.Dynamic, asynchronous web applications were deployed to Oracle (BEA) Weblogic Server within the J2EE framework using Java Servlets, Java Server Pages, JSTL, JavaScript, ColdFusion (CFML and CFC), and ExtJS. Other development tools included Eclipse, Toad for Oracle, CVS, and Bugzilla.Developed a web-based database application to track remote DSLAM placements at new and existing outside plant cross box terminals; in continuous use for over 15 years. The database and web front-end track a variety of attributes related to expansion of DSL availability including DSLAM vendors and technology, funding sources, dates for key milestones, and related capital/expense projects. The application coalesces data from multiple corporate data warehouses to automate milestone and financial tracking. Show less
