PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Confidential, Maryland
Responsibilities:
- Working as Application Developer and involved in developing/maintaining PowerBuilder/Oracle based budget application, writing interfaces to integrate with GL and Payroll systems. Provide technical and functional support to budget specialists/ end-users. Developed various interfaces for other systems.
- Closely work with budget specialists to gather /analyze their functional/business requirements, current data source, and translate business needs into technical requirements and accordingly, build/provide appropriate system solution ((Data analysis / Financial monitoring report etc).
- Involved in implementing/maintaining Oracle ERP e-Business suite (Financials/PSB-Budget), which involves application configuration, writing Interfaces using PL/SQL to integrate with other existing applications, Data Conversion and creating complex custom views/reports.
- Developed a budget monitoring system using VB .NET/Visual Studio .Net. The system uses OracleConnection to get data from three different oracle database based applications/systems. A single parameter (e.g. GL Account number) is used to gather data from Oracle ERP/GL, Lawson Payroll and Budget Application (BMA) Databases and present relevant data on the same screen in three separate blocks/DataGrids (for each application’s data). Also, it has a feature to compare data between different databases and provide variance analysis. Result from the each Data Grid can be exported to an XLS/ worksheet file. Execution of SQL and oracle-PL/SQL stored procedures have been utilized in this budget monitoring system. This helps user to inquire/view data from three systems in one place, instead of logging in to three different applications.
- Also responsible to Validate budget data (across the systems) and load budget into Lawson Payroll and Oracle ERP/GL systems using various interfaces/SQL scripts.
