    Lead Systems Developer
    November 2008 - June 2015 (6 years and 7 months)
    United Kingdom
    I played a key role in strengthening business systems and operations through technical development, process improvement, and user support across multiple sites. I supported project teams in onboarding technical talent, improved supply chain processes by deploying a Supplier Management Solution, and automated subcontracted purchase orders, reducing administrative overhead.

    Reporting and analytics were central to my work. I built operational and KPI reports in Crystal Reports and SSRS, and engineered multi‑site reporting with automated scheduling and distribution, giving leadership consistent, data‑driven insights. I also introduced lean manufacturing practices, improving productivity and project planning.

    I streamlined procurement, inventory, and production planning by aligning activities with MRP recommendations and automating manual tasks. On the shop floor, I deployed barcode systems, handheld data capture units, and a part marking solution integrated with ERP—boosting traceability, cutting workloads, reducing WIP counts, and expediting shipments through single‑scan bulk reception and optimized packaging.

    I also developed bespoke tools including a calibration register, multilingual shop floor data capture, and electronic intra‑company invoicing, eliminating inefficiencies and supporting compliance. To extend interoperability, I authored .NET services and interfaces to integrate ERP with external Supplier and Quality Management Systems.

    Alongside development, I maintained ERP/MRP systems and supported users across UK and Poland sites, ensuring smooth adoption through training and guidance. I executed accurate data migration and transformation, administered SQL Server databases with performance tuning, and led ERP implementations across multiple sites, achieving cohesive and integrated operations.
