- Fixed EpiSurv reports identified by end users by updating the stored procedures and RDL (Report Definition Language) files in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
- Updated EpiSurv Case Report Forms for diseases as requested by creating SQL scripts to modify disease views and relevant tables, adjusting JavaScript validation rules, and modifying the XSN file for front-end changes.
- Worked on the EpiSurv Cloud Migration project with Senior Developer, investigating how to move existing reports from SSRS to the cloud via Power BI. This involved developing a Reporting POC (proof of concept) by creating existing reports in Power BI service/application and investigating the integration and embedding of Power BI reports in EpiSurv.
- Performed data fixes identified by end users, creating SQL scripts to amend data across DEV (Development), UAT (User Acceptance Testing), and PROD (Production).
- Conducted data extractions requested by end users, creating SQL scripts to retrieve the required data and saving it as CSV files for distribution.
- Improved EpiSurv reports in collaboration with the Senior Developer by refactoring the stored procedures under the new reporting schema. Additionally, improved the existing RDL of reports by incorporating new security context parameters and enhancing the overall report format and design.
- Worked with the Senior Developer to implement new workflow processes, establishing procedures to use the DEV environment for development and conduct user testing in the UAT environment which would ensure smooth deployment to the PROD environment.
- Promoted basic development practices to the team with Senior Developer such as creating branches with PBI numbers, creating pull requests for peer review, getting any changes to PROD approved by the CAB (Change Approval Board) before deployment, and maintaining release packages in SharePoint to track all changes released to EpiSurv.
