Outlook Contacts Management ETL Process
https://www.franklinparkllc.com/Developed an ETL automated process to analyze, mark, and clean the full company Outlook and Exchange contacts list.
The process uses a properly developed SQL Server back-end database that imports all contacts from the Exchange instances. Once imported, several clean-up and validation processes run against each contact (e.g., checking the number of e-mail messages sent and received during a specific period), validating the e-mail addresses using proper web service providers. Once validated, the relevant contacts are marked to be deleted. The front-end Access solution allows IT administrators to validate them manually if required and automatically trigger the Exchange deletion process.

Interactive Dashboard Based on System Dynamics
For a Ph.D. graduation, I developed a full dynamic Excel-based simulation dashboard.
• The solution has an initial parameter settings window where the user defines all population generation parameters—the number of patients, the probability of several patient attributes like the rate of diabetes or obesity.
Users will be able to define the statistical parameters for each patient like random income value, using a log-normal distribution, each patient's age using a Gaussian distribution, slow-paced patient attributes use an exponential distribution. Population generation uses inverse statistical distribution random number generation and Monte Carlo logic approach.
• For the process workflow, users can define parameters like the minimum number of doctors, the number of weeks to simulate, evaluation exam cost, accommodation daily cost, average insurance coverage, maximum working hours per day, minimum and maximum session time, and much more.
Once triggered, the patients enter the system and they will follow the possible paths. Each patient path will be affected by the associated random attributes when the full simulation population is generated.
Once finished, a full set of descriptive statistics and charts is produced.

Microsoft Access VBA Development for a Work Order Scheduler Planner
For a Canada-based company.
The project required the development of a Microsoft Access-based tool that allows production management users to:
• Define the department's hour capacity during a specific interval period (e.g., 9 months from the current date).
• Load, using a full ETL, process the full list of orders and their details (including production steps).
• Define the expected number of resources available per week in each department.
• Trigger the forecast simulation process that uses a greedy algorithm that will start consuming the available capacity, always trying to satisfy the first incoming delivery date orders.
• The tool will produce several outcome reports that will allow management users to check and forecast if the actual installed capacity will be enough to satisfy the actual demand allowing management users to identify possible future production bottlenecks.

Oracle to SQL Server conversion consulting of an healthcare software database
For a US-based client.
The project consisted of the full conversion of an entire Oracle database used as a healthcare back-end management software to a SQL Server-based one:
• The process required Oracle to SQL Server data types mapping.
• Indexes conversion.
• Oracle objects conversion to SQL Server compliant ones or Oracle replacement objects by SQL Server ones.
• All Oracle PL/SQL procedures and functions to T-SQL-based ones.
• The process tried to use ANSI SQL-based queries as much as possible as a future expansion to other databases was being considered.
• It required a full ETL data migration process from Oracle to SQL server.
