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.
