11/2015 - 1/2016

Industry: Computer Software

Business Intelligence Architect

Brought on as a BI Data Architect. Ended up working in a number of different roles while they tried to place me on a project.

Since all projects at HCL / Microsoft were based upon work at Microsoft, no work could be accomplished until my credentials were complete. The V Dash or v- account is necessary for access to any Microsoft systems for security reasons. I did not get my v- account completed until the end of this project which prevented me from being assigned to any new projects.Having no past experience in Big Data, I was given a month to learn Azure, and its many offerings (Hadoop, Pig, R, Spark, Azure Data Lake, Azure Data Warehouse, Azure SQL Database, HD Insight, Power BI, Data Migration Utility, Cosmos, Scope, Horton Works, Poly Glass, and much more), using a personal account. I was to learn what I could, until I was assigned a new project. In the first month (November) I spent 30% of my time in meetings either working with the sales team or listening in on prospective sales meetings. I edited several Power Point Presentations to correct grammatical errors, and provided a number of Architectural Diagrams for the meetings. 60% of my time was spent learning Big Data technologies.The second month, while I continued to learn Azure and some Cosmos / Scope as well, I facilitated several POC projects by reverse engineering OLTP databases and modeling those into dimensional databases and then building SSAS cubes (SQL Server 2012) to facilitate data exploration, data quality issues and so forth.The third month became very slow work wise as HCL struggled to land any new projects. On January 13, 2016 I was given notice that I had until the 22nd of January 2016 to find another job. There were no hard feelings, just no work.

Industry: Education

Sr. Data Warehouse Consultant

Consulted as a EDW and Business Intelligence Solutions Architect

Initiated this project as directed by performing an analysis on Blackboard, and Banner EDW BI Solutions. Completed this initial task by creating technical specifications and recommendations on which to use. Completed a series of technical documents to specify hardware and software requirements for the project. Additionally performed research on several different projects out of scope from my technical role.Specified and configured several Microsoft Windows 2012 and 2008 VM servers for the BI project to include a: Development, Test, Reporting, Data Warehouse, and Analysis Services Environment. Setup and installed the necessary OLEDB and Data providers to access Banner (Ellucian) installed on an Oracle database server.Performed a POC for SharePoint 2013. Lead the BI team on this project with no supervision. Installed and configured SharePoint 2013 on a barebones Windows 2012 SP2 Server. Created numerous demos for the organization to showcase each particular feature of SharePoint 2013 excluding the BI features.Created a custom ETL application written in VB.Net using Visual Studio 2015 Pro to replace Microsoft SSIS to extract data from any data source, and place it into the ODS (Offline Data Store). This application imported the DDL: table names, column names, data types, constraints and Primary Keys from numerous Schemas running on an Oracle Database server and then produced the DDL to create the same yet compatible objects in MS SQL Server in an automated fashion; which reduced the development time of creating tables in the ODS by weeks for each Schema to seconds. The application was capable of adding thousands of: source tables, and database connections in a matter of seconds instead of weeks. This application not only created the objects needed for the ODS, but also ran that ETL nightly without issue. It also encrypted the usernames and passwords of all data source connections. The application also had its own error logging, schema / table logging which logged the start and stop times of each tables ETL, including total execution time, starting and ending row counts, and it also included a logging process for the Merging of data into the ODS destination tables.

ERP Technical Consultant

Consulted to determine if the Spider Schema was a valid Data Model for an existing ERP System.

Consulted to create a Sales Order Entry System (Proof of Concept) using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, VB.Net, ADO.Net, and WPF.Gathered requirements from the CEO and Board of Directors. Took the existing ERP Sales Order data with 10 years of history and modeled it into the Spider Schema Data Model.Created a fully functional WPF application to use ADO.Net to pull and push data via disconnected Data Sets.Tested performance on a live production server via a programmatic testing methodology.It was determined that the Spider Schema Data Model not only outperformed the existing ERP System, but did so 40% faster. Additionally there was a 45% savings in data storage.Microsoft Excel was connected via Pivot Tables directly to the database and was able to do full BI (Slicing and Dicing) of the data with no changes, no ETL. The reporting was up to the minute, and accurate.Tabular and Analytic SSAS Cubes were created directly from the Spider Schema Data Model with again no changes to the underlying data model.According to the CEO, they are likely to create a custom ERP System in the future with the Spider Schema Data Model once a budget can be established.

4/2014 - 12/2014

Industry: Computer/IT Services

Sr. Business Intelligence Consultant

Completed a BI Project sourcing data from CIMPRO via an aftermarket ODBC driver via Microsoft SSIS.

Gathered Requirements, architected and created the BI Solution to entail reverse engineering the source system (CIMPRO running on UNIX), ETL (moving of data from the source system to the ODS, to the Stage database via SQL Scripts and SSIS packages), architecture and creation of the Data warehouse, architecture and creation of the MS Analysis Services and Tabular Cubes. Created and scheduled SSIS packages to pull only the daily transactions from the CIMPRO system via a Proprietary ODBC driver using SSIS. There were many data type issues between the source system and SQL Server. The ODS (Offline Data Store), kept data synchronized via nightly and daily pulls. Created an ETL to transfer the ODS data into a Stage database where the data was further cleaned up and organized. Finally, created an ETL via SSIS to move data from Stage to the Data Warehouse database which was modeled into the Spider Schema (http//:www.spider-schema.info) which I invented and have been using for the past 8 years on various projects. Created numerous SSAS Cubes to host data for Procurement, Production Batches, Sales Orders, Invoicing, GL, Bill of Materials, Forecasting, and Inventory Transactions. Worked directly with business users to train and mentor them to use Power Pivot, Power View, Excel Pivot tables, and SharePoint 2013. 100% of work was completed remotely.

1/2013 - 12/2014

Industry: Manufacturing - Other

Sr. Business Intelligence Consultant

Created a BI Solution for a large Milk Dairy using DSI ERP Systems.

Reversed engineered the DSI (Data Specialists, Inc.) Dairy Food ERP System into a robust Business Intelligence Solution using the MS BI Stack and the Spider Schema. Created a nightly running ETL using SSIS to pull all data from the source system DSIV1R7 database running in MS SQL Server 2008 R2. The data was pulled into a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 (ODS offline data store) to keep an exact copy of the source systems data. This data was updated nightly via a scheduled SSIS package. Additionally an SSIS package was created to pull data on demand. The ODS data was then pulled into a Stage Database where it was normalized and merged / tied into data from JD Edwards 9.0 One World Application; which was then moved over the Data Warehouse where the reporting data was stored. This project started when the previous one finished, and was for the same client. The data enabled the company to have a complete financial picture from the procurement, transportation, and testing of the milk, to the purchasing of materials used to create various dairy based products manufactured in various plants, to the selling and distribution of those products. This required merging data together from very different systems. When this project was finished, the creation of a custom Milk Pricing / Competitor Model BI data model using the same data was done; so that the Organization could compare their pricing model to other competitors in the same regions. The final solution offered a true Business Intelligence Solution where the Organization could slice and dice their Milk Dairy Hauler, and Producer Payroll metrics by their own Company, Division, Zone, Producer, Hauler, Payroll Date, and Pricing Metrics, and compare those to competitors, and view this data along with their JD Edwards data. 100% of work was completed remotely.

Industry: Insurance

Sr. Business Intelligence Consultant

Reverse engineered Depli Oasis (Insurance Application) into new Data Warehouse / BI Solution using MS SQL Server 2008 R2, SSAS, SSRS, SSIS, Share Point, Performance Point Server, and Power Pivot.

Consulted to create a new BI Solution in an organization that was currently using reports generated from SQL Queries from the Delphi Oasis Insurance software platform (Data was stored in an Oracle Database). Primarily responsible for the architecture and creation of the BI Solution to entail reverse engineering the source system, ETL (moving of data from the source system to the Stage and DW), architecture and creation of the Data warehouse, architecture and creation of the MS Analysis Services Cubes. The source system architecture supported what was referred to as “versioning”, which stored the previous data of each element in the database. This data was stored in the same table as the current data, which created an extra level of complexity to the project. Although many SME for the Oasis Database existed, only knowledge around the Financial Module of the application existed. The organization wanted a full BI solution encompassing their Claims, Underwriting, Risk Management, and Finance Departments. Without much to go on, reverse engineered the source systems (Oasis) data base, and created an elegant/reliable ETL process to pull data nightly from the source system into what could be called an ODS (Offline Data Store). This data was then de-normalized into the Spider Schema in a Data Warehouse after going through a “Stage” database. Instigated an Agile approach to the project, and facilitated a daily Scrum process with eventual planning meetings and full organization participation. Mentored many folks in the Agile development process. Gave classes on Data Warehousing techniques and architecture to in house IT personnel. Created new reports in Share Point 2010 and Performance Point Server using the new Power Pivot functionality. Duplicated many existing reports in Reporting Services to facilitate change from legacy reporting. Cross trained a FTE resource to replace my services over the last part of the project. Worked with SQL Server 2008 R2, SSAS, SSRS, SSIS, Oracle Developer, MS Office 2010, Share Point 2010, Performance Point Server 2010, and Power Pivot Galleries. Worked remotely about 80% of the time, the other 20% was on site.

Industry: Computer/IT Services

Database Engineer BI Developer

Publicis Group, Vivaki, Razor Fish, SMG, Amazon Web Services

Consulted as a team member to extract Double Click Advertising data from Google for specific Advertisers and create a BI Solution for it. Project involved creating an ETL process to extract data from Double Click via Web Service calls using the Dart API, and flat files via FTP.Our primary development environment was the AWS cloud (Amazon Web Services). Configured our own workstations, servers and environments using a built in tool. Discovered data via Web Services and FTP. ETL’d that data over using the Talend ETL tool. Created a Talend job to ETL data via FTP into a central repository, then un-zipped, parsed, and imported that data into a Staging database.Created a Staging database to store data extracted from the source temporarily until it could be processed and ETL into the data mart. Created a robust Data Mart where data was stored in a highly relational Star Schema for consumption downstream for separate clients. This Data Mart stored data for all the clients that were served up reports through client specific data marts and cubes.Designed a SSAS cube to host the data for consumption via the in house reporting tool called Insights On demand. The cube design allowed for simple and easy hierarchy creation across dimensions without the need to create any new underlying data objects.Created numerous data dictionaries, Source to Target Data mapping documents, Logical Data Models, Physical Data Models, and documentation on what was available from the source, stage, and data mart.Participated in the architecture of the data mart and cube in an iterative fashion while delivering report ready data via Edge or IOS (Insights on Demand) every sprint.Worked with a geographically split team that had never developed under Agile (although in house Agile was the normal process). Went through the Storming to Norming phase in a pretty painful way. Were able to get to the Performing phase after two months. Exposed to: SQL Server 2008, SSIS 2008, Talend, MS Excel 2007, Visual Studio 2008, IBM Lotus Notes, Cisco Web Ex.

Industry: Legal Services

MS Dynamics Data Migration Specialist

Contracted to migrate data from a heavily customized legacy CRM Application (Pivotal) into Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 via T-SQL (As opposed to Web Services). My day to day responsibilities included 100% of the ETL (Extract Transform & Loading of data) design and development. Each day the requirements changed based “upon newly discovered requirements” from the business. While these newly discovered requirements occurred, the Architect for the CRM Schema would make changes daily without any notice. The majority of the entities in CRM were heavily customized over time as were the ones in the Source System. The ETL processes ended up being fairly complicated with almost all of the entities being related to each other. On numerous occasions the CRM Schema would change to a point where data could not be ETL regardless of method or process as the architect of the customized CRM schema did not consider any database design considerations. In fact when such existing ETL processes failed due to these changes, they were specifically called out as ETL data bugs.Wrote numerous complex TSQL queries to move 75GB of relational data into CRM 4.0 and created a package in SSIS that allowed for automation. This SSIS package was capable of uploading the CRM schema changes made by the CRM architect into the CRM Server, publish that schema, drop and restore the targeted database with all users and meta-data predefined, and then moved data from the source system into this target database.Participated in daily Scrum meetings where Agile was preached but not practiced by its true nature, while extreme programming was the daily flavor. Almost no QA or Testing existed during the life of the project. Exposed to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, Dynamics Great Plains, SQL Server 2008 R2, Visual Studio 2008 C#.Net, Office 2010, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Red Gate.

Industry: Financial Services

Technical PM

Contracted to "make sense" out of new/existing data that had never been analyzed before.  Determined the quality and completeness of that data and provided in-depth reporting on it.  Performed validation checks on metrics through known "truths", and reported on the discrepancies.Installed and configured SQL Server 2008 including SSRS, SSAS, SSIS, and other SQL based services in a Clustered SQL Server environment using two nodes and fail over services. Installed and configured MOSS, and created our team site to document and facilitate team collaboration.Once the initial project analysis was complete, the data was then extracted via SSIS packages from their sources which were then executed from an SQL Agent Job.  The completed solution was deployed in multiple environments (Dev, Test, UAT, and Prod).  The ETL process included the moving of data, data cleansing, and the creation of multiple: OLTP, OLAP, and (MOLAP) fact tables / common, and slowly changing dimensions.  The last step in the SQL Agent job executed an SSIS package which updated the SSAS cube.The final solution included a single cube with multiple fact tables, shared dimensions and custom hierarchies which spanned the common dimensions.  The cube compared known and validated metrics to those in the target data source for data validation, and accurateness and completeness of the data.Created numerous custom mapping tables which were used to map dimensional data from two completely different source systems.  This had never been done before with any level of accurateness until this project.In the end the new data was of tremendous value to MS and I was informed that not only did the new information save MS a significant amount in lost revenue, but also changed future budget forecasts, marketing strategies, and facilitated in restructuring the way in which the data was acquired, managed and later used and relied upon.Exposed to XML, Excel 2007, SQL Server 2008, SSAS 2008, SSIS 2008, SSRS 2008.  Consulted remotely for the majority of the project.  Consulted in the OEM finance group at MS.

In addition to reporting, an existing unfinished ETL process had to be re-architected and in some cases the staging database also had to be re-architected. Customer wanted a true history of new, deleted, and updated records. Created a new process where the destination staging tables had triggers on them which moved these changes to "history tables". This Staging Database became an Operational Data Store (ODS) for most of the companies downstream reporting.Wrote numerous transactional stored procedures, removed numerous performance bottle necks and design issues. Created numerous SSIS packages that included package configurations, SQL logging, and error handling. Created several SQL Agent Jobs which executed the SSIS packages and also performed numerous data validation checks. Re-wrote numerous existing production reports in Reporting Services for performance reasons.  The biggest gain on performance was one report that previously took 15 hours to run, and after modification, 20 seconds.  Data Sources came from Oracle 10g and 11i, IBM i-Series DB2, MS SQL Server 2000 and 2005, XML, CSV text files, and MS Excel spread sheets.
