PROFILE
My career as an Analyst/Programmer has given me a large amount of exposure to a diverse range of business environments and
software applications. I have considerable experience in the analysis and modeling of business procedures and in developing
software solutions.I have written system manuals and user guides for new systems, as well as doing feasibility studies for proposed
systems. I have created Test Plans and have done User training and structured walkthroughs of new systems. I have arranged
progress meetings with users/clients and worked as a dedicated resource on a customer application support helpdesk.
I am familiar with DataWarehouse concepts and architecture. i.e. Kimball and Inmon methodologies- Top down Datamart design
vs. bottom up DataWarehouse design. Familiar with Star and Snowflake data architecture design concepts – Fact and dimension
table architecture OLAP DWH database design, in comparison to traditional OLTP relational database design. Experienced with
Oracle SQL*Loader and Unix shell scripting for loading of flat files to oracle database tables and experienced with Oracle
PL/SQL packages to extract data from Oracle tables into flat files. Experienced with Oracle Performance Tuning techniques to
improve execution speed and performance of database data processing.
My Data Modeling experience usually consists - in the absence of an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) – of me creating a
“snapshot picture” of related table data using a SQL script I build. This gives me a picture of the tables and how the relate to each
other using actual data. I can then identify the Primary Key and Foreign Key relationships between Parent and Child tables. After
identifying these table relationships, I can create the required ERD Diagrams – perhaps using Visio or Oracle SQL*Developer tool
- Data Modeler. In addition, I can also use the “Snapshot” SQL script I create, for future testing and data validation.
