Sarasota Clerk of Court 4/11 - 6/11
SQL Developer/Business Analyst
• In this capacity, I was responsible for the ETL processes of handling data derived
from older legacy systems, preparing, analyzing and importing the information into
database tables and spreadsheets using SSIS or Excel, or moving the information
into newer systems and applications. The systems included bonds and the associated
data, including defendant information, bond posting and payments, agencies, and
related court data. Information that did not match the databases were placed into
Excel spreadsheets, where reports were generated for further analysis and
determination for the Bonds department.
• A second system included the data ETL of court evidence using SSIS objects,
representing the physical items utilized in court proceedings. The information is
securely tracked from Point A to Point B, including physical storage location and the
actual descriptive physical items on hand. SSRS reports were generated to display a
hierarchy of evidence location. Older legacy data that did not match current systems
were placed in Excel spreadsheets for future determination.
• A major assignment included the verification of an entire court system, designed to
contain the complete history of a court case from initiation to court resolution, and
all related data. The older data system contained hundreds of tables, going through
a conversion process to a newer system architecture. Due to the sensitivity of the
information, complete and through verification of the data using queries and stored
procedures to compare old and new systems was highly critical. Test cases were
executed within SQL Server, with data connections to Excel spreadsheets to display
individual and summary test results between old and new systems.
• Smaller databases containing older data were imported into SQL Server databases
using SSIS or Excel sheets for later import and report generation.

program where participants gain knowledge and valuable experience putting the SQL Server
skill set to use in a simulated work environment.
• Created numerous simple to complex queries involving self joins, correlated
subqueries, CTE’s and XML techniques for diverse business requirements. Tuned and
optimized queries by altering database design, analyzing different query options, and
indexing strategies.
• As part of a team, analyzed the business requirements and systematically designed a
database for an online-movie (DVD/Blu-Ray) rental company. Employed best
practices in creating a complete schema including tables, relationships, stored
procedures, views, clustered and non-clustered indexes and triggers, and
implemented the import and export of data using XML and SSIS.
• As part of a team, created various reports according to the business requirements for
the movie rental company. Individually authored, installed, deployed and managed
reports using SSRS for a library database.

implemented robust stored procedures, functions, and triggers to implement
required functionalities.
• Created an SSIS ETL solution that reads Product, Vendor, and Order data from
Excel .CSV files on a network share into a SQL Server database. The solution also
validated incoming data and performed notifications through SSIS objects when jobs
complete. The order data thus loaded into SQL Server was used to generate reports
using the new SSRS 2008 reporting functionality (including the Tablix control). The
reports were set up for automatic delivery based on standard report subscriptions.
