PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Groton, CT 2/87 - 2/09

Systems Analyst, Database developer

Developed a wide range of Access / Excel database products that helped meet business objectives.

Through analysis of laboratory processes, designed and developed desktop utilities that integrated seamlessly with enterprise Oracle databases reducing data entry time and significantly improving productivity in production environments.

Using Visual Basic, wrote data validation utilities that capture data from laboratory instruments, analyze the data, and present the user with quick visual reviews. In use for the last six years, this plays a critical role in preventing error propagation.

Wrote Visual Basic reporting utilities to provide seamless exporting of Oracle and Access data into customized, functional Excel reports.

Responsible for the full design and development for combining into a single coherent, user friendly workflow, reducing the need for user training, assuring data integrity, and tracking and organizing work.

Robotic Control System Project

Developed a software simulator that graphically presents robotic movements. This simulator dramatically reduced robotic development time, improved the quality of the end product, reduced maintenance times, and improved performance.

Turned error prone procedures into a user friendly system that reduced errors, virtually eliminated user training, generated e-mails to automatically report robotic hardware errors, and logged all significant robotic events.

Developed an operator alert mechanism that relieved operators of time consuming monitoring duties. The system had a direct impact on productivity.

Biological Data Loading Project

Responsible for the complete design, development, and implementation of a flexible system for loading laboratory drug testing data into enterprise databases.

Sole developer of an Excel VBA based data loading system for uploading raw biological laboratory data into corporate databases. Highly regarded by users and the IT department.

Eliminated labor intensive, customized data upload efforts, by developing a seamless integration between Excel and Oracle that supported uploads from 50+ labs, each with their own customized data needs.

Designed and wrote a clean, consistent user interface that enforced proper workflow, automated repetitive tasks, and reduced user training and support.

Documented process and project, with separate manuals, for Users, Implementers, and Developers
