• Designed major new features and enhancements for an application that processed massive item UPC feeds (more than 5M items per week) from our partner retailers such as Walmart, Safeway, Schnucks, GiantEagle. The application was used to store and maintain items and Family Codes information for all the products available at those retailer stores.
• Responsible for complete redesign of an application used to automatically synchronize email unsubscription requests from multiple sources both inside and outside of Coupons. This application processes about 17M records of email data each day.
• Designed and developed a Barcode object used to create Item and Coupon barcodes of all barcode formats (UPC, EAN and GS1). This tool is a one-stop shop for both creating barcodes from component parts as well as parsing barcodes into its component parts and is being used extensively throughout Coupons.com.
• Developed SQLCleaner as part of a hack day project. This tool integrates with SQL Management studio and reformats the entire SQL text according to Coupons SQL Coding standards. This tool is used by Software and Database Engineers across the company while developing database scripts.
• Reformatted and refactored existing legacy code using Resharper as per the Coupons coding standards. Also developed unit tests for most of the existing code base.
• Converted a collection of backend batch processes for handling UPC data input from Windows tasks to Windows Services and scheduled them using the Quartz Scheduler. Also optimized the SQL procedures used by these processes to more than double the performance.

• Enhancement and maintenance of an in-house LIMS developed using C# and Oracle.
• Performed Bioinformatics quality control assessment for new chip designs and primers being ordered to make sure that the design of the chips is in sync with the primers and SNPs being targeted for the study.
• Implemented a major feature in the LIMS application that permits the user to mix two or more samples from the same source and yet track their data individually. This feature alone saved about 150 man-hours of work in the lab each week.
• Designed, documented and implemented a feature that allows the users to perform any kind of reprocessing of the samples under any situation.
• Developed other activities such as Chip Inventory Reporting System that allowed the users to track the usage of chips and wafers being used for any study. This also provided the flexibility to the users themselves for developing custom queries for various reporting needs.
