Perl Programmer

Confidential .Birmingham, AL

Responsibilities:

• Modified current processes and developed a method for allowing in store returns for .com purchases which previously could only be returned online. Process involved utilizing Perl to calculate information stored in a MySQL database. One of the challenges faced was that when a sale was made, the individual taxes were not calculated but rather a grand total tax amount was being stored. My team and me focused on separating out the individual sale items and associating their appropriate tax amount by first figuring the total tax rate and tan applying the individual rate to the individual purchase amount. dis information was tan coded throughout the entire refund process (all Perl based) in order to not only allow for the return, but document and store the method/location of refund. Throughout dis process a source code manager (Perforce) was utilized to keep track of all changes to the code which was code reviewed and released by other members of the group.
• Developed automated product intelligence gathering in Perl. dis involved taking information from a Ruby based screen scraping program (developed by another team member) and utilized a proprietary algorithm to determine when products should be updated in the system to compete wif main competitors. MySQL database stored procedures were also utilized for quick data selection and calculations.
• Reduced manual entry and process steps taken by many data change operations by automating them using Perl and MySQL.
• Developed Perl libraries to work across legacy and new systems in order to bridge communications between the programs utilizing the Mojolicious framework.
• Converted legacy procedural applications into RESTful APIs using the Mojolicious framework.
• Researched and developed features for warehouse workers in order to make their job easier and more efficient. These features included better search routines, filters, and the ability to scan items wif a wand as opposed to hand entering them. HTML, CSS, Perl, and MySQL developments were utilized wif other team members in the SDLC.
• Worked wif a skilled team of developers to upgrade PayPal and credit card encryption protocols by implementing a tokenization process in Perl. dis allowed for better security and less possibility of credit card information theft.
• Updated ways to dynamically allow for product attributes such as return - ability and image trophies where their either was no process before or the process was static. dis involved a major website update to include offsite image storage as well as custom Perl development to the legacy system.
• Utilized Perforce for source code revision control throughout all projects as well as code reviews both on the giving and receiving.
