Summary

From November 2003 until December 2005 served as Lead Software Engineer on a project that interfaced with multiple third-party ERP software applications to provide lot traceability through the entire manufacturing process.

Designing, planning and implementation fazes of the project required both foreign and domestic travel in order to work side-by-side with Business Analysts to insure proper design and integration of the project.

This application was created from the ground up to join disparate ERP systems by plugging into their back-end database systems and providing a new custom suite of applications and reports. All development was done utilizing Borland Delphi. All reports were written using ReportBuilder for Delphi.

All new applications gathered data from the following ERP systems; J.D. Edwards OneWorld Xe, WinSPC and VicSys (custom legacy application). JDE and WinSPC leveraged an Oracle database while the legacy application used a Pervasive database. A new Oracle database consisting of a 20 to 25 table schema had to be created to store newly acquired lot traceability data.

Summary

From October 2001 until November 2003 I worked for a global manufacturing company designing and implementing J.D. Edwards OneWorld Xe business solutions. J.D. Edwards is a large, very complex enterprise suite of applications that provides a proprietary Integrated Development Environment so the client can customize the solution to meet the needs of the business. I was hired because of my C/C++ expertise.

J.D. Edward’s underlying system is a large, extremely complex library of ANSI C DLL’s. I was able to rapidly apply my C++ experience to debug and fix critical system issues. I had to write many custom business functions to meet their specific business needs. I also had to write applications that utilized Win32 API’s including a serial port reader application.

I also designed and programmed custom business applications, reports and interfaces using J.D. Edward’s proprietary development tools including Form Design Aid (FDA), Report Design Aid (RDA), Table Design Aid (TDA), Business View Design Aid (BDA) and the Universal Table Browser (UTB ).

Their J.D. Edwards solution was built on top of an Oracle 8 database. Analyzing this large and complex system during application design and implementation helped me garner a lot of Oracle expertise. This experience would soon be leveraged during my next projects.

During this time I also wrote several custom utilities that increased team productivity. These applications were written in C# with Visual Studio .NET 2003.
