I coordinated testing efforts and implemented client-side code changes for a major upgrade of Lowe's retail tax calculation software (Taxware). This required a major refactoring effort to apply C code best practices and reduce highly interdependent "spaghetti headers". In this effort, I reduced the number of programs requiring re-compilation at each upgrade from over one hundred to less than thirty. I also produced documentation to support the next required upgrade.Subject matter expert on a diverse set of front-end and back-end retail systems including pricing, inventory, point-of-sale, scheduling and labor management, timekeeping, and order management systems.Working with the IT Support Desk, I identified a set of common store data issues that drove repeated help desk calls. I then wrote scripts to mine database and log data to proactively identify and fix the issues. This reduced call volume for the help desk, reduced tickets escalated to the programming team for database fixes, and returned store labor hours back to customer service tasks.Documented large existing systems to improve knowledge transfer to new team members.Technologies used: C, C++, Java, Unix (AIX), DB2, Sybase, MySQL, Bash
