Bio
Steve Kubis
Bruce was a colleague at Microsoft for about 9 years. Over those years we worked together on various documentation and sample application projects. Bruce was always excellent to work with. He has good software development skills, produced good documentation, and was tenacious when solving a problem. His diverse experience and good listening skills made him an excellent person to bounce ideas off of. In his quiet way, he would provide insights that proved useful. He's a great addition to any team, and I would be happy to work with him again.

May 2020 - Nov 2020
I create SQL queries and reporting tools to unlock critical information and metrics that seek to answer difficult business questions. I have worked with reporting tools like Tableau Software, Web Intelligence, and Crystal Reports to create reports and dashboards for managers and analysts. I work with people and teams to gather requirements for reports, design a solution that meets the requirements, create a query using data from SQL Server and Oracle databases, and build a report or dashboard that provides the needed information. I also work with the project team and other developers to test and validate the results. My recent projects have used and combined data from Infor ERP. Workday for HRM, and EPIC EHR. I also assisted in training new developers and worked with the broader organization to help people find the information and resources that they need. Show less
