Lead Software Engineer

2002 - 2013

CCGL

Planned and developed a platform that allows customers to book the company's services (2006). It has a complex business model that allow customers (farmers and truck drivers) to sub-locate or resell their storage rights directly or by auction.
Led, in a highly critical operation, the development of a bank-like system that manages the customer's balance of the "bulk storage" sub-division (2005). This system is responsible for the management of multi-million dollar accounts of big market players (e.g. ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus).
Handled a corporate culture disruption, planned, and programmed a system that automates all the bulk handling and storage processes. The system is integrated with several hardware devices (e.g. cameras, truck/train/ship scales and lab devices). It had a huge impact on the company's profits: it eliminated massive losses (theft and corruption), it decreased expenses by cutting positions, and it increased the revenue due to the speed up in the process.
Programmed several of the company's ERP submodules: financial, HR, accountability, milk industry, logistics, bulk-handling, and storage operational processes, etc.
Met strict deadlines, led the development of a system that manages the logistics of the company's milk factory (2008). It's a complex environment that involves 200,000 customers (farmers), hacked POS terminals (used by the trucks), integrations with outsourced labs, company's ERP, and industrial machines. This system uses a dynamic pricing model that pays farmers according to the quality of their products and the daily supply/demand. It also includes RFIDs, a custom GSM network in the middle of a rural region, and a website that allow customers to see their balances, withdraw money, and more.
