• I was in charge of re-designing a complete new system for generation to user management of 100 plus reports that the Compliance Development team generated from their legacy Perl infrastructure. This task required a thorough understanding of the data sets involved in the process of generation of these reports and coming up with a strategy and a data set to bundle them together into one cohesive unit.
• This major undertaking was a big leap forward for the team since that would mean a more productive environment for the developers to work on and a much more transparent systems from the end customers of these reports. This project involved in not only coming up with extensive design for the database to house all this data but also the designing a complete end to end solution with web interfaces to backend processing and number crunching of the data required on a per report basis.
