  LeChase Construction

  Nov 2017 - now

  Report Writer/Developer

  I work in the LeChase IT Department as a Report Writer\Developer. I developed many Crystal and SSRS reports used by the Finance, Accounting, HR, Payroll, Risk Management, IT and Operations departments. The crystal and SSRS reports are imported into our construction ERP software called Viewpoint and then security access is granted to various departments. I participate in the importing and configuration of these reports using our ERP Viewpoint software. In addition to crystal reports I have created several SSRS Dashboards and a Power BI dashboard. The dashboards are used by Risk Management, OSG and Operations, they provide important metrics to assist in their daily responsibilities. I deployed the dashboards to our SSRS server and also created an ASP website frame to host the dashboards to provide another way for the teams to access the dashboards. I created a VB.Net application that uses JSON API calls to two different API platforms. The application linked Qualtrics API platform to Building Connected API platform so the marketing team could send out surveys to customers and link some of the responses to Building Connected. I created several Excel VBA applications that provided process improvements across LeChase departments. As part of my role, I created and maintained many reports that required creating SQL Server stored procedures, table valued, scalar functions and views that were data sources for crystal reports, power bi and SSRS. For over the 6 years I have worked for LeChase I coded and maintained over 40 notifiers that were distributed to all the LeChase departments that gave important metrics and information to assist in their daily tasks. I filled a need for the organization to administer a construction ERP called Procore. This required creating users, adding companies\vendors, creating projects and develop code linked to their API platform to deactivate projects and users. Show less
