My current role focuses on the architecture and integration between our eCommerce sites and various internal/external applications. In addition I am managing the internal web development team and oversee our SCM solution and build processes. As my job history shows, I have flip-flopped several times between software development and management positions. The grass always seems greener on the other side. In the end I do require a certain amount of hands on work in order to be at the top of my game and remain satisfied in my role. Before I started working in Retail IT I worked mostly on Enterprise Workflow & BI Solutions in the insurance (Life Insurance to be specific) and financial services space. That also included imaging systems as well as infrastructure management. I have worked in IT since 1997 and spent the last couple of years focusing on the retail industry which allowed me to learn much about OMS (Sterling OMS, Slingshot), Payment Systems (interfacing with Chase Paymentech & CyberSource), Tax Systems (Vertex) and Address verification (Experian QAS). Specialties: eCommerce Solutions, Retail OMS, Master Data Management, Business Intelligence, Online Payment Systems, Life Insurance Workflow, Tax Systems, HR Software Development Tech Stack (in order of last use): Demandware, Java Script, jQuery, OMS, Vertex, QAS, Payment Processing, IBM MDM Server / Customer Hub, Cognos, SQL Server Reporting Services, MS SQL (since v7), C#, ASP.Net / Classic ASP, VB.Net, VB6, Delphi
