On this project, the bulk of my work consisted of web and API development for RtChex to help them scale up their business capacity. This specifically involved refactoring their web pages so they could handle larger data sets and improve the customer experience. I also developed enhancements to their API to enable customer access to more data; automated testing was included for all API enhancements.

At Fourth Factor Technology Services, one of our clients was Sunbelt Rentals. One of our bigger projects was overhauling their primary website. The bulk of my work was on their equipment catalog pages. The site has since been upgraded to newer technologies, but the layout is still very similar and the back-end data structures haven't changed much.

I created and managed websites for healthcare providers to view and manage patient data. These are secure websites that allow users to perform various patient-related tasks. Some features include reviewing patients' status, benefit investigations, electronic signatures, prior authorization, and electronic prescriptions. Some of these features utilized web services and data feeds to communicate with external vendors.

Security is very important for these sites. Users must only be able to view their own patient information. HIPAA violations are always a concern and controlling who can view what data is vital.

Clients included companies like Bayer, Janssen, Lundbeck, and more.

The SSRS reporting portal is an intranet website for managing SSRS reports. An SSRS server was not available so this website was created instead. The site allows users to upload RDL files (report definition XML files). The uploaded files are parsed and the user is then allowed to edit certain report options like the SQL parameters, report title, report description, and security roles.

These reports are then stored in the database and made available to users based on their approved security groups. Reports are viewed on the SSRS reporting portal itself or on other websites based on the security roles assigned to the reports.

This was a process for tracking bottle exchanges. When a bottle was sent out to a customer a return tracking number and label would be generated. A scheduled job was created to periodically check these tracking numbers to get the status of the return. Customers would be emailed reminders if the return had not been mailed after certain periods of time. The tracking numbers were also monitored to make sure the return bottles were received after they had been shipped.

This process used UPS web services to monitor the data. The UPS services were called from MS SQL stored procedures as well as websites. The UPS services returned XML data and that XML data was then parsed and stored in the database.

This was an intranet site for employees to manage their data. Employees were able to update their information like contact information and address details. They were also able to review their pay stubs. Notifications were also displayed to employees via the website.

There were management tools for HR administrators to view and edit employee information. Administrators were also able to manage notifications and set the active dates for notifications.

I created web pages to allow users to set up quota rules for tracking survey participants. This work included developing the logic for grouping rules into layered sets of conditional AND/OR criteria and algorithms for matching survey participants to quota rules. It also included reporting tools for viewing quota matches and quota targets/goals.
