Confidential Walnut Creek, CA
Senior Programmer Analyst July, 2001 – June, 2009
Designed, developed, tested, deployed, and executed:
Fully automated extract, transfer, and load (ETL) prescription conversion processes for Longs to CVS pharmacy systems for 500+ stores, and Longs archive to CVS data warehouse for 800+ pharmacy images. Reduced conversion throughput from 3 stores per day to 3 stores per hour by loading data from Informix to MySQL and doing actual extract and transform on three Windows servers.
Initial ETL of pharmacy data from 500+ pharmacies to a central database, Informix to Oracle.
Archive/purge process to move outdated data from 480 store databases to a central archive.
Web-based application to automate assignment management and configuration of laboratory test servers for pharmacy applications to reduce time to setup for QA and Acceptance testing.
Metrics and status monitoring applications for mission-critical applications, reducing down time at over 480 pharmacies.
Conversion process verification tool that saved hundreds of hours of manual verification time.
Performed many data mining/analysis investigations providing critical information for:
Longs to CVS conversion, Loss prevention, Fraud investigation and security breach analysis, Data corruption analysis and repair, HIPAA compliance.
Developed suite of Perl utility modules to speed development, enhance reliability, and automate regular and ad hoc data capture and analysis programs for business and system metrics and reporting.
One report restored $700k to company profit in a single quarter, as well as preserving that amount over future quarters.
Participated in design, development and support of successful roll-out of two mission-critical pharmacy applications.
Performed defect history analysis and writing of help desk diagnostic and resolution procedures.
Ported jUnit to Forté TOOL for use by development team in improving development process.
Advised on and initiated testing and configuration management process improvements.
