Experience

Core Banking Accounting System

Created an ASP.NET Core-based serverless system with minimal APIs, communicating with CBS via RabbitMQ. All the APIs have one transaction role autogenerated by a batch .NET Core application according to the transaction definition. I designed and developed this entire accounting system from scratch.

Bandag Tracer

A truck tire tracing desktop and mobile application. Users on the field measure the tires on the truck, fill in the values (pressure, tread length, any problems) on the mobile application, and return to the office, where they generate the report for the customer.

Sage Intacct ERP Integration

A C#.Net-based library project used by SSIS packages to download data from the ERP system and transfer data to the account payables tables in SQL Server.

Benefits: observable, high-performant, solid, durable, and easily deployable

Executive Dashboards

Using both PowerBI and Python, I meticulously designed and implemented executive-level dashboards. These tools were specifically tailored to present key performance indicators, giving management a clear and comprehensive understanding of cost structures, revenue streams, and potential operational risks. This initiative ensured that decision-makers were equipped with precise and actionable insights for strategic planning.

Legacy ERP App Integration to Trackmax Financial Reporting System

I developed a Clipper-based application to extract data, including vendor, customer, product, purchase orders, and sales information. The extracted data was formatted into a predefined CSV file compatible with Trackmax software for seamless import. This project required precise data mapping and transformation to ensure accuracy and compliance with Trackmax's requirements.
