To design, build, and maintain complete software applications across both the front-end and back-end - essentially handling the entire development "stack" from user interface to server and database.
Programming software solutions:
-
Translate user requirements into a development spec
-
Multi-database Laravel applications connecting to SAP Business One and several internal SQL Server databases simultaneously
-
Bi-directional ERP integration - pulling master/transaction data from SAP and pushing changes back through broker databases
-
Event-driven and queue-based architectures - scheduled syncs, throttled listeners, long-running background jobs
-
Operational system and reporting features used daily by factory and operations staff
-
React + Inertia frontends with complex data tables, charts, import/export flows, etc.
-
Active production systems - not greenfield. Changes touch real inventory, orders, and shop-floor activity.
Test the software solutions:
-
Testing software solutions after design to identify and eliminate programming or logic flaws.
Implement the completed or in progress software solution:
-
Take the software from a Dev environment to Test and finally to Live.
-
Alter software solution as required to fix any bugs.
Improve software solutions based on user feedback:
-
Design, develop and implement upgrades to existing systems.
Perform maintenance and provide support on existing software solutions:
-
Fix, upgrade and make changes to keep existing systems relevant, while providing support like investigating issues, adding users, adjusting profiles and maintaining setup and data integrity.
