Daphne O'Keefe’s Summary

I am a senior ASP.Net web developer and an expert in SQL Server databases. Over the past decade in Charlotte, NC, I have been fortunate to work on teams developing websites for a variety of companies in industries including finance, insurance, commercial auctions, and marketing and advertising. I enjoy working on teams with other professional developers. And, I find this highly technical work to be very fulfilling. I am passionate about my work, and invest many hours studying to refine my skills in this rapidly evolving field.

My career began in my hometown of San Francisco, CA, at the Bank of America, where I was a Securities Analyst in the Investment Management unit. Newly armed with an MBA in Finance from the University of California at Berkeley, I was recruited by Wells Fargo Bank as Controller for the Trust & Investment Division. I moved on to Controller positions in commercial construction and wholesale/distribution. Along the way, I became a Certified Management Accountant, winning a bronze medal for achieving a very high score on the certification exam.

During a severe recession in California, I sought greener pastures in the Southeast, ending up as a Director in the Finance and Analysis Group at Lowe's headquarters in North Carolina. My work there in financial modeling, data warehousing and business intelligence gave me skills in programming and databases. I decided to move into full-time development, and during the Internet surge in the late 1990's was lucky enough to be recruited into a position that brought me to Charlotte.

Daphne O'Keefe’s Experience

Senior ASP.Net Web Developer

Wachovia

(Public Company; WFC; Banking industry)

2008 — Present (1 year )

Member of a team rapidly developing enhancements to two Ajax-enabled ASP.Net intranet websites used in high-volume customer service units. The object-oriented applications offer a suite of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports and are supported by SQL Server 2005. They perform extensive logging of user activity, including audit logs. Running on IIS, they employ many SOA web services, including many which retrieve electronic documents from various content management systems, many others which retrieve mainframe account data, and one which processes faxes. Development tools include C#, ASP.Net, Visual Studio, Refactor, HTML, CSS, Javascript, XML, and Management Studio. The web applications utilize the Microsoft Enterprise Library for database access, caching, exception handling, and logging. I have written many database scripts for creating/altering tables, indexes, user-defined functions and stored procedures, in addition to the stored procedures behind the SSRS reports. And I have implemented a number of measures to improve database performance. The development cycle follows a robust software development process (SDLC).
