Aurora, Il, Us

I'm a Senior Web Application Engineer at QLP working with an amazing team of talented software developers to keep our e-commerce and CRM systems running their best while adapting to the ever-changing needs and priorities of our business.I've been trusted with business analysis, design, and development efforts that have led to the production of countless mission-critical solutions during my time with QLP. Most solutions I work on are back-end tools, integrating with our custom CRM. I've also helped migrate the accounting department away from QuickBooks and into a custom-built, highly-automated, double-entry accounting system of my own design which handles the company's most mission-critical AR and AP accounting functions. I also designed and implemented a sales commission tracking solution that analyzes ~15,000 customer orders each month to compute the respective commissions (paychecks) for our 70-person sales team. Prior to implementing my solution, these commissions were manually tracked and computed in a home-grown Excel workbook by a group of accounting team members. They would spend about one week every month devoted to calculating commissions. With my solution in place, a new sales commission report gets created automatically every single day in a matter of minutes, allowing sales staff to track and trend their sales and commissions for the month.Technologies: ColdFusion 10, MySQL 5.6/5.7, T-SQL, Apache 2.2, JIRA, Subversion, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery.
