Experience
Parallelized Data Migration Engine for Learndirect
I developed an ETL data migration engine to transfer a very large (millions of records and files) data set to Dynamics CRM 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013 deployments.
The engine I designed and implemented was running in parallelized tasks backed by the .NET TPL task parallel library and adhered to the parallel programming producer-consumer application design pattern. Technologies utilized included .NET 4.5, SQL Server 2012, Entity Framework 6, and C#.
Entities were uploaded with the late-bound entities classes of Dynamics' Organization service API and files ingested with the SharePoint Client Object Model CSOM. I joined a team of 15-18, including five other CRM developers. We followed an Agile process with Jira. I was also involved in developing CRM entity public views and CRM sitemap modifications.
