Application Engineer IV 2010-2011

Lead PeopleSoft Financials Developer

Lead Developer for PeopleSoft Financials v9.0, PeopleTools 8.49.23.

Developed all customizations AP, AM and GL modules for this multi-billion dollar

premier health care organization The Lahey Clinic utilizes the GL module, but only minor modifications were needed

to GL.

As Lahey Clinic uses a SuperUser paradigm, I would meet with the FinancialsSuperUsers to determine current priorities, tasks and upcoming Projects.

No Business Analysts exist at Lahey Clinic, so I would meet with the SuperUser,

gather his\her functional requirements, translate that functional requirement into atechnical spec, and the write the technical code according to that spec.

Modified custom AP Voucher Load SQR to have reporting run off SYSDATE instead

of Process Instance because in case of an error and re-run (due to bad data), the report

would print for the entire day.

Met with the AM SuperUser to discuss a complicated AM production issue in whichthe ending 2010 Asset balance did not equal the beginning 2011 Asset balance.Because this was vanilla code, I was able to file an ORACLE SR, and then run 6

complex SQL statements to solve the AM Producion issue.

Began a Financial Sanctions Project. The Financial Sanctions Project involves

checking company vendors against a Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN List)downloaded in XML format from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and uploaded

into PeopleSoft via an App Engine. Once the list is uploaded, you can also check AP

Payments against the list as well.

2010 1099 Project. This project involved determining the proper PS Project to

download from Oracle Support. It was particularly complicated this year, as a second

Project\Fix was needed to fix errors in the original 1099 Project. The need for thissecond Project\Fix was discovered through continuous monitoring of the

Oracle\PeopleSoft Support web site. Also, even though I was a technical resource, I

had to learn the 1099 functional process in depth in order to support the AP functionalteam, and the 1099s were sent out on time.

Multiple PS Queries written, especially for AP.

Debugging of AP PayCycle App Engines to determine why certain vouchers were not

being paid. To determine this, I would place an append the command line with aTRACE7 to trace the SQL, and backtrack from this point.

PeopleSoft V8.8, PeopleTools 8.46

Oversaw all customizations and developed customizations for OM, Billing, AR, AP andGL modules for high-end luxury car detailing company.

Pronto Wash Inc. utilizes the GL module, but only minor modifications were needed

to GL.

SQL Tuning of any slow running Processes in OM, Billing, AR, AP and GL.

The tool TOAD is used to generate Explain Plans, and a variety of SQL tuning

methods are used to improve timing of slow performing SQL, thus making

Application Processing faster. This results in a much more satisfied UserCommunity.

SQL Tuning of the Billing Pre-Process and Finalization Process (BIIVC000 andBIIVC100).

Work in AR to determine which pages could have Deferred Processing turned off, sothat fields populated as the Users changed values to give Users a more up-to-the-

second view of data.

Wrote and modified many custom SQR Reports that pull data from OM, AR and AP.

Wrote and modified many custom SQR Programs that pull data from OM, AR and

AP and place data in a comma-delimited file for easy opening into an EXCELspreadsheet. These comma-delimited files are especially important to Users of

modules of PeopleSoft Financials as PeopleSoft Financials Users make extensive use

of EXCEL to formulate and examine data.

Creation and manipulation of Pages in OM, AR, and AP to give users an Application

based, ease-of-use solution for pulling up requested data.

Promoted to Manager, Systems Programming

2001Led, oversaw and managed all aspects of PeopleSoft development, including staff of

fulltime developers, hiring, standards, management of consultants, ensure passing of

yearly outside IT audit (Cybex is a public company).Oversaw all customizations and developed customizations on all 16 modules

Held weekly 1 on 1 meetings with each developer, to ensure that information on

each developers tasks was known to me. This helped avoid any programmingconflicts, ensure that standards were always being met, enabled me to intelligently

answer any questions from upper management concerning programming tasks and

deadlines, and helped me to better manage the department without the developersfeeing too constrained, so as not to stifle programming creativity.

Strictly enforced the requirement of detailed notes being entered into the Cybex

Custom Help Desk. This greatly reduced the turnaround time for resolutions for

repeat errors, especially errors that surfaced not too frequently, and in many cases led

to custom fixes or patch installation. Responsible for installation and retrofits of all PeopleSoft Patches, and migrating

patches\fixes from the Development database, through Testing arenas, and intoProduction. Production moves were done during off hours.

Cancelled the practice of certain developers supporting certain modules, and cross-

trained each developer on every module supported. While certain expertise alwaysremained, every developer felt comfortable supporting each module.

Invented and instituted Functional Days for all developers. Functional Days

consists of a bi-monthly program where a developer actually sits with a functionaluser for anywhere from 1 4 hours, to gain functional knowledge for the applications

and modules that required support. This greatly increased the functional knowledge

of the developers, and made each one a better programmer. Using in-house training conducted by me, trained entire staff of developers on Oracle

SQL tuning techniques on Oracle V8.06. The tool TOAD was used to generate

explain plans, and developers were taught various tuning techniques such as indexing,

using Oracle SQL Hints, creating new views (or making delivered views) that weremore efficient, ordering tables in the FROM clause, ordering joins in the WHERE

clause, Outer Joins, Utilizing the Alter-Session command in SQR Reports and

Processes to switch between the Rule and Cost based Oracle Optimizer to aid inperformance, etc.

Developed PeopleCode that enabled the Credit Department to dictate which groups of

Users could release Credit Holds for certain dollar amounts, and which groups would

have Read-Only access to these pages. The code was based on a custom PermissionList, and retrieved Security information prior to displaying the pages as editable or

read-only.

Developed a Tax Register SQR Report that enabled the AR Department to extract taxinformation from PeopleSoft and compare it to the Vertex tax database.
