ERP Development

https://www.asw.ro/
Developed new apps and modules by designing database entities within an established ERP ecosystem. They range from production management—bill of materials (BOM), reporting, and production entities—to the point of sale module and contract management with client billing.

Data Dashboards and Reports

Designed, developed, and implemented different data dashboards. I started with gathering and cleaning data with Microsoft SQL Server. After that, I modeled dashboard visualizations with Microsoft Power BI.

Engineering Content Management System

A file-heavy web application used by a manufacturing facility to manage engineering content, such as PDF component drawings and design web format (DWF) files. It defines projects, associates, uploads, and downloads files, and it's used for user rights management. I was the only developer deploying the application and delivering it to key customer users.

eInvoice ERP App

A T-SQL and XML-heavy application used to expose clients' invoices from an ERP system to the Romanian government monitoring and delivery platform. The application is an integrated part of the ERP system and is used by over 500 enterprise customers to generate, validate, and expose data.

Systems Applications and Products (SAP) Interface

This was a custom project for a large recycling company with a presence in multiple countries. The application created primarily with Microsoft SQL Server resides in synchronizing web services data from the local ERP system to HQ SAP via simple object access protocol (SOAP). The information handled included customer and vendor master data, asset data and invoices, credit memos, and prepayments.
