- Nielsen company look-ups and code integrity checks
- SQL quering millions of records of Nielsen and corporate hierarchy data sets (parent company/subsidiary trees as adjacency lists).
- Custom forms for business object CRUD operations.
- REST APIs using OAuth2 (password grant) authorization.
- Modern search and facet features through Drupal integrations with Apache Solr
Leadership Roles
Search Redesign
I led development of all search indexing processes and automation, and custom PHP/Solr integrations. This project included a custom module utilizing the PECL Solr PHP extension. I rewrote schema and data import configurations to improve the quality of the results, redesigned and improved text analysis and tokenization strategies.
Data Warehousing
I also designed and developed all of the custom internal ETL and data warehousing processes used to report daily business operations metrics, and generate the back-end data source for BI tools. For a rapidly growing company like Ad-ID, nightly data refreshes were critical for developing business strategy, identifying customer trends and churn rate, and for providing growth and sales forecasting estimates.
