Main developer on the complete re-write of an outdated Perl Survey Management System. Studied the original system to understand the problems, limitations and common workarounds that were required, then prepared design documents, database schemas, flow charts and E-R diagrams for a new system. Implemented using a custom PHP MVC framework, Ext and jQuery JavaScript libraries, a normalized MySQL database and Git for revision control.

The object-oriented system features support for different types of login validation (auto-generated, checksum), survey resuming, proper multi-lingual support using UTF-8 encoding for multi-byte character sets such as Japanese, dynamic condition-based hide and skip logic (questions, question sets, pages), server and client-side input validation and verification, question set and page randomization, and more.

Questions sets are displayed through the use of templates, properties and question set linking, allowing for complex and highly customizable layouts such as rating, ranking, anchoring, sliders, checkbox/radio images, CSS properties, etc.

Several surveys have been created in the new system and it is being used for market research in the automotive and airline industries (e.g. Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki) as well as workforce and medical research studies, including the OPSEU "Count Me In!" Census which received 27000 responses over a one month period.

Worked on the development of this internal reporting site for Subaru Canada. Built on a custom PHP MVC framework and MySQL database, it serves daily purchase and service data analysis, crosstabs, dynamically generated XML/SWF charts and several types of reports.
