·         Created a configurable, data-driven, dynamic reporting tool for accessing 3^rd party vendors such as PeopleSoft.  The design featured a meta-data storage structure and a web-based interface, which enables end-users to define complex queries without having to be aware of the specifics of the report data’s source.

·         Designed and created a full-featured Workflow Engine and accompanying components for product inclusion.  The design features a web-based Workflow Designer configuration component, which allows the design of multi-level, data-driven transaction routing rules and context-specific available actions and notifications.  A Workflow Agent component, executed as a spawned process, performs e-mail notifications to alert participants of transaction status changes as defined in the Workflow Designer.  A Workbox component enables users to report on and link to all transactions they are authorized to view.  Other components allow users to establish alternates, and administrators to transfer transactions, establish groups, and maintain calendars.
