Developer II

Dominion Enterprises

Maintained and modernized data systems at Cross-Sell (a Dominion Enterprises company) that normalize, aggregate, and produce reports on vehicle registration data sourced from 23 states, giving car dealerships a competitive edge in their local markets. Much of the core codebase was written in Visual FoxPro — a language Microsoft discontinued in 2007. I dove in, became proficient in FoxPro, and systematically translated legacy code dating back to the late 1980s into modern, maintainable systems. Also automated the report production pipeline with Jenkins, cutting delivery times from weeks to same-day.
