My good story is the system I'm still proud to have developed. It's a deceptively simple process - onboarding and offboarding employees.

I started this as part of a project back in 2000. Getting all the data I needed would be an ongoing process. Overall I spent 9 years working on hunting down and bringing together as many different system logons as I could and persuading the owners that the process would be a benefit to them.

This system did a whole lot of processing in the background and worked with a really lousy eform system to present supervisors of record the ability to set up their employee access in one place. Hardware, software, and telecom.

I could go into a lot more detail about what it did and how it did stuff. But I will say that once it hit production it passed internal, external, federal, and ISO audit every time it was checked.

I never did get to finish integrating transfers into it before I left.

Even better it was still working years after I left without a single hiccup. Part of it is still running because the new owners of the company (big acquisition) don't have anything that will do the same things.
