My Job Experience In The U.S
Last March, I moved from my country, to the U.S. It was hard for me to find a job here at first because I was afraid to talk in English and was not familiar with the topics people were talking about. After a couple of trying, I got hired by a small company which provides high quality of products and service for home phone and office phone. The department I work for is one of the most important part of production line - Manufacturing department. As a software tool engineer here for almost one year, I've made a lot of contributions.
My first job was to improve the efficiency of product testing process. I modified testing scripts and create modules to reduce the repetition parts. It not only make script run faster but also save time and effort for future maintenance. Compare to original scripts, new ones save up to 30 seconds each time to run a testing script. Moreover, I set up a friendly web interface for tester and use database to save testing logs.
After that, I set up an internal transfer web tool, used PHP, HTML and JS, for all the internal users who wants to apply and transfer units from my department. In the past, they had to apply transfers by paper and email. With this tool, they can apply it online. Mangers and appliers are able to use this tool to track their requests and produce reports. I also connect this tool with inventory database to display real-time inventory amount for users.
In the future, I am going to set up a new web tool - Inventory Tool. With the growth of our company and my department, we need a better way to manage raw materials and products. This tool will record inventory and status of all the units and provides real-time data for users in order to help users to estimate the needs, minimize the costs and maximize the profit. I am looking forward to make this tool works and do more contributions to my department and make my department better.
