L10


Overall: I was a .Net developer for over 10 years using Microsoft .Net and SQL Server. I also worked on Microsoft data warehouse for 2 years using

SQL: I am very experience in SQL, I can design great performance database, writing SQL scripts to identify root cause of either data issue or coding issue. I worked on our CME project last year, my initial assignment is to help with testing, but later on, I expand my role to help contractors to tell them the root cause and how to fix the bug, I also involved to created new ways to generate the report, before we ran the SQL scripts and copy/paste data to Excel, now they just need to click a button to refresh the Excel report, it produce consistent and better look and feel report in just a few seconds and it also eliminate the human error

SAS: I completed an online course at SAS web site a couple of years ago; I know I do use SAS studio to do data loading, analyzing data and produce reports; I never use it at work before. I believe I should be able to use the tool quickly. Expect 2 weeks to start writing SAS program, 4-5 weeks to write professional code.

Why: I have been in level 9 for over 5 years, I am looking forward opportunities to take more responsibilities and doing more fun work. Since I join TD 8 years ago, my target is to become an designer or architect.

Weakness: English is not my first language, it is the major weakness since I moved to Canada over 20 years ago.

Strength: my strength is my technical skill, I am very experienced in designing and writing codes. I am able to trouble shooting design or coding issues.

Vision: to spend more time on the design, but I also want to get involved in doing the code review to make sure that the team will be creating quality code and following best practice. And if possible, I can write some code for the team.

Ready: I haven't talked to my manager yet. We have reorganization last month and I haven't see my new manager yet. I will talk to him if our conversation turns good.
Our team used to be 4 persons plus another one works 50% of time on Taxonomy. Now we only have 2.5 persons.
I think it will be ok if you can give my manager 3 weeks to find a my replacement

Manager: I haven't talked to many manager yet; we had reorganization last month; we were introduced to the new manager, but we are still under former manager in the connection page. I am planning to talk to my new manager once I got a chance. All request approvals for example FY20 objective still goes to former manager. 

CTS: great position to be able to work on data warehouse, it is in this job that I realized that my strength is in data (my strong math and analytical thinking background). and I also like to work on data.

Taxonomy: great team, everyone is focusing to get the job done. Also develop my communication skill because I need to attend a lot of meetings and doing presentation after I complete the design.

Your team: can you give me a brief instruction of your team and project? I know that this position is related to AML, but I would like to know more detail about this job.
How many designer and developers are in your team? What kind of project do you develop? How many projects do you maintain?
