Blue Cross Blue Shield of MichiganSoftware Engineer
Jun. 2018 - May. 2021Detroit, Michigan, United StatesMy Responsibilities have been:
* Analysis and documentation of a legacy application responsible for transferring all claims inside and
outside of Blue Cross / Blue Shield. The system is a managed file transport platform that had been
home-grown since 1997, that evolved over time. That engineer retired leaving little or no
documentation. My colleague and I performed the analysis. I then developed a new generation of that
platform that was totally refactored that allowed for smaller set of core programs and utilities.
* Creation of a Media-wiki instance to contain system documentation.
* Addition of additional interactive components (Implementation with MySQL and Perl) to track the
progress of the project. This was written in Perl with MySQL connections to track progress of various
work orders assigned to our group. This portal featured a pie chart status, the ability to create queries
using the web interface and PDF reports using the libHaru PDF library.
* Mentoring of Junior team members.
* Developed a series of portals in the C-programming language (dynamically generating HTML5 browser code).
* Developed an LDAP enabled web platform using the openLDAP library
* Developed a database synchronization tool to update a project status portal that synchronizes an Oracle 11g database with a MySQL database. This involved using GCC and Oracle Pro-C.
* Architected and developed a new log consolidation portal. The portal used the rsyslogd server, a few C
programs to create normalized data for the log database.
