PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
SetFocus, LLC. Feb/2011-April/2011
SQL Master’s Program Project and Exam Score Average: 100%
This Program is an intensive, hands–on, project oriented 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 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.
• Individually designed a bank application according to business requirements, and
implemented robust stored procedures, functions, and triggers to implement
required functionalities.
• Created an ETL solution that reads Product, Vendor, and Order data from .CSV files
on a network share into a SQL Server database. The solution also validated
incoming data and performed notifications when jobs completed. 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.
