 Data Architect
 September 2009 to Present
 Modeled and developed a data warehouse for OMOP (Observational Medical Outcomes
Partnership) from various sources. This was a data model from the ground up following
guidelines at http://omop.org/CDM. We architected the model in Oracle. We then
populated the model from a non OMOP source, converting the data into the new model.
The first pass took us about a month to get the data in. After applying indices, hints and
creating a new batching process, drove the insert to under one week.
We developed a request batch process, designed to start at the point of failure rather than
the beginning. We batch 200,000 persons with their related data at a time. An error
during that batch only affects that batch, the other batches would continue unless the
error is so severe as to stop the whole process. We fix the error and start at the failed
batch. We recently had a hardware failure causing a delay. The system is so robust that
we restarted at the point of the failure.
There is a set of queries we created to gather information over a period of time. This
windowing system aggregates the same condition recorded for the same person over a
period of time so that the condition would be treated as an era rather than several
occurrences in the data.
Another feature of this system is automated testing and validation. We developed with
the test team a system to ensure we had the records from the source inserted without loss
into the new OMOP warehouse. We automated this process so the tests run during the
batch process at the appropriate time.
 The previous project was to create a data mart that polled data from multiple sources,
output to several different pipes. This was built in Sql Server 2012. The data mart
consists of several databases. Each database a specific function. The most interesting
took common functionality from the feeding sources, each from a separate entity, each
entity had no ownership ties with my company. I found three threads each entity’s data
feeds had in common. I created master threads for each area. I used my company’s
model for the naming convention for the columns to make internal feeds easier. I created

3. 3
mapping tables for the other entities, making the feed pipes easier to translate. The data
tracked clinical trial outcomes for the Drug industry.
 I architected and developed a software tool called The Data Steward. This tool displays
the data from shared databases and publishes to the correct server using the Web API.
The Data Steward handles security via Active Directory. Various clients can only access
the data authorized on several different sources. An XML payload is developed on the
fly and sent to the controlling database (controller). The controller runs SSIS packages,
creates the dataset on the proper server the user has rights to. The Data Steward then
displays to the user a report of the data transferred.
 I wrote an executable running daily that polls the Clinical Trials Government web site,
commonly called CT Gov, for changes in the last number of days as set by the
administrative interface and updates the controlling database with the detail. The
controller then publishes an XML file to subscribing databases. The subscribers compare
the XML file to their data and return an XML document to the controlling database with
a list of ids that have changed or are new. The Controller returns a third XML document
with just the changes the subscriber has requested. Thus, if a database is off line, it is
refreshed in total for what was missing whilst it was down. If the controller was down, it
will recover the latest files and changed files from the time it was down until it is
recovered. This is self-healing at its best. Currently there are 4 SQL server and 3 Oracle
subscribers to the controller.
 Built CLRSQL median and Percentile functions for SQL Server 2008.
 In addition to all my other duties, maintained the support ticket system and coordinated
efforts with our teams with DBAs, change management teams and other IT support
organziations.
 MF Global,
 Data Architect
 March 2008 to March 2009:
 Completed several projects all using n-layers design patterns and agile methodologies.
The projects mostly centered on handling risk for MF Global’s trading and options
business. The projects included web sites, dynamic link libraries (dll), and win forms.
Projects were built using 3.5 .Net Framework, C# 3.0, Ajax, and the DevExpress
Controls and components for .Net. Used factory pattern to create Entity classes, one per
table, and collection classes, one per entity class, for CRUD operations. All projects
were built using OOD methodologies, Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2005, C# 3.0, and
the .Net framework 3.0 or 3.5.
 Built web sites using Microsoft .Net, Ajax, and SQL Server 2005. .These web sites
focused on mitigating risk to MF Global. The web sites displayed MF Global exposure
from Counterparties, both at the start of day and intraday trades. The intraday data
refreshed every 5 minutes. Warnings and caution flags display if a Counterparty exceeds
its notional limit.
 Created a reusable dll with C# for any applications’ data layer communicating to SQL
Server. The helper classes wrapped the CreateParameter so that the signature chose the
correct data type. There is a class containing methods to take a value from SQL Server
and return a value type C# expects. This prevents the return of dbNull which can throw
an exception. This dll allowed the company to create a standard portal for Risk
Management and loosely couple the various sites onto one standard.

 Developed, designed and deployed an order tracking system for the IT department. The
UI is web based and the data stored on SQL Server 2005. Originally based design on
beta ASP.Net MVC provided by Microsoft, modified the design for extensive use of data
repeater controls for CRUD as required. MF Global has contract relationships with some
of its brokers. These relationships have business rules requiring the cost of IT concerning
these brokers to be prorated between brokers and cost centers. Therefore allocation
becomes very critical and the focal point of a successful deployment. We solved the
issue with a combination of database design of many to many relationships and use of the
repeater grid control.
 Wrapped the functionality of the Jira web service into a standard reusable dll so that users
could create automated issues on the fly. Once the issue is created, it can be used many
times. Users can now insert, update and close one issue or multiple related issues using
one web form and in one instance, instead of opening and closing several related issues.
MF Global uses Jira to track ongoing IT issues such as database maintenance, ftp
maintenance etc.
 Wrote several file to database conversion projects using C# and SSIS. The files load into
an ftp directory from various sources. When the files appear in the directory, an event is
launched in the service monitoring the directory and the appropriate exe is launched to
move the data in the file to the appropriate database. The information is used by the
Risk-Look portal.
 Built several applications for various clients 1994 to 2008 using the latest SQL Server
and Visual Studio equivalent language including C# and Visual Basic 2.0 to 6.0.
