Hialeah, FL
Dec 2012 – Jul 2013
 The international media supergiant including Comcast NBC and Universal
Business Intelligence;
Hired as a Consultant and working with the TAM (Technical Asset Management) team I
worked extensively to improve the breadth and quality of Business Intelligence data
concerning the governance of the enterprise level IT architecture. I worked directly
with the various IT department Directors and the TAMs to schedule intelligence
gathering and reporting activities. I performed analysis of the data sets creating ties
that link the numerous applications (software) with the organizations (human) and host
structures (hardware, real and virtual). As of now it appears that this project will draw to
a close at the end of July 2013 pending internal reorganization and the development of
a new budget to support future activities. My efforts directly led to an 80% increase in
verified data within the Technology Roadmap tool, and over 30% increase in verified
data within the Technology Census tool. I successfully established and executed a
quarterly plan for data gathering for the Technology Roadmap tool and initiated a
continual update plan for the Technology Census tool.

map out where data was retrieved from their current external intelligence vendor and
how it was implemented. Performed initial mapping of a proposed new intelligence
vendor offering against their existing services. Attended project management
meetings to help shape the course of the project. The scope of the project was
eventually reduced completing my assignment with this team.

 Hired as a Consultant and operating in the Integration Architecture group, my
Project Management and Data Analyst duties include ORACLE Fusion and
applications, webMethods and BizTalk based integration of major systems and
applications that comprise the architecture of LabCorp. Currently overseeing
activities for integration development of the soon to be released Patient Portal
web enabled suite of applications, a project which will potentially touch a
customer base of over 200 million. This project coordinates activities across all
facets of the business from the Master Data Management system to the Microsoft
SharePoint Portal, through specialty labs, billing systems, appointment
management systems, document storage structures and more. The Patient
Portal Project which relied on SharePoint consisted of 18 interfaces which I acted
as Project Manager for. This major web facing deployment relied heavily on
web services and queues and delivered applications and integrations from the
business units to other business units, clients, patients, and multiple vendors.
Integrations with external APIs were also a major portion of the project. During
this project I was simultaneously coordinating activities and overseeing
development of the EDI result data transport to Aetna. Acted as a pivotal team
member of the GeDi Project which includes ordering, sample receipt and
processing, testing, reporting, LIMS, Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence,
billing, client interfaces, SharePoint Portal implementation, and all other
synchronous and asynchronous interfaces required to orchestrate and facilitate
the Molecular Biology and Biochemistry businesses from end to end. Since the
buyout by LabCorp my duties center on project management activities to
support the transition. Completed projects include revising the accessioning and
billing systems that support all orders and payments, working on the DxNi
Pregnancy Risk Calculator suite, and working on a solution for outsourcing report
generation for nextgen ACGH data. I manage teams of developers and
supervise the SDLC of all deliverables. I work extensively with MS Project for
schedule management and with Visio to create solution architecture diagrams
that document and facilitate the design of interfaces on the micro level and
enterprise wide solutions on the macro level. I have used SOAP UI to test web
services used in integrations and to create mock services for the same purpose.
Have created, modified, analyzed, and mapped XML payloads as required to
support interface development and testing. Have acted as data manager with
responsibility for cataloguing the library of interfaces and reviewing project
documents prior to final submission. Organized and participated in JID and JAD
sessions using a mixture of Agile and traditional Waterfall approaches. I prepare
numerous PowerPoint and Excel presentations for various purposes. I am the
author of dozens of Integration Service Requirements and Specifications
documents. Have acted as editor of several Integration Solution Architecture
documents. Acted as a member of the Change Request Board. Attend and
participate in Solution Design and Project Management committees for new
projects. We work with HL7, HIPAA, PHI and 21 CFR pt 11 data standards. As a
global team member I report directly to the Integration Portfolio Director. I work
with the software developers and the business clients including project
managers, business systems analysts, scientists, supply chain managers, onshore
and offshore outsourced resources, vendors and consultants. With many of our
project resources in New York, India, New Mexico, Florida, and California I play a
strong role in coordinating and organizing project activities on all levels. A
significant amount of this time is spent monitoring and reporting on the status of
activities, and tracking and promoting deliverables to enable and ensure on
time arrival at key milestones.
