Projects
Infor ERP, Our company undertook a major project completely overhauling our ERP teams. This includes everything from interface design between banks, interface design between various other applications such as AD, Time Clocks, Payroll, etc. Through this process, I had to design and architect solutions as well as debug various other issues that came from integrating tens of applications into one solution. The timeline for this project was very aggressive and demanded everyone work very efficiently with little room for error.
