finding combined with an understanding of applicable business systems and industry requirements. Developed and
modified moderately complex information systems which included analysis of business and user needs,
documenting requirements, and revising existing system logic difficulties as necessary.
Wrote all the non-HRMS reports using SQL that were not available in Oracle reports. This required research
into which tables were needed, how the tables were related, and identifying the fields that the user needed.
Converted most of the native Oracle reports into an Excel format by using BI Tools.
Used SQL query writing language to research issues and develop solutions such as: purchasing’s ordered but
not delivered report, all reports used by receivables, billed and unbilled revenues by project, and the monthly
report used by banks to validate and download credit card charges.

operationg units. Sole tester for entering payroll for both hourly and salaried employees.
Created the tables, which converted from two legacy account strings to the new one. The tables were user-
friendly so users could translate from the old string themselves.

various depreciation methods going back to 1990.
