From June 2012 to May 2013 (1 year) Application Developer @ I was responsible for development and operations of inventory management systems, and retail systems. I developed new web applications in C# and ASP.Net, such as the Tank Management System, which allowed business users to monitor and edit the status of oil terminal tanks. This system replaced a completely manual process involving a ton of excel spreadsheets and phone calls. I was also involved in rolling out a new vendor system that managed inventory at our storage locations. This integration required a lot of middle-ware work that I had to develop. I created several web services that the vendor system would make calls to in order to share and receive data.
