Mert Cadirci Application Systems Specialist 1009 Brandon Ave Apt #1, Norfolk, VA 23507 Phone:- Email:- Profile I have fourteen years of extensive Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experience as an Application Systems Specialist. I visualize and analyze demographic, geographic and customer related data in order to improve sales and services, to meet delivery needs and requirements for my organization and our clients. I create "segmented zones" and "segmented delivery routes" using demographic information by GIS. Being able to segment newspaper delivery routes enabled us to create custom printed products for specific audience which in turn helped us as well as our clients to generate more revenue. Two best examples are one of these magazines for high income customers (http://distinctionhr.com) bringing $-+ additional yearly revenue and our new magazine for craft beer lovers (http://hrgrowler.com). We continuously get positive feedback and increased revenue as the targeted audience is reached flawlessly by "segmented zones" and "custom delivery routes. Creating sub zones using demographic and geographic information help some of our clients to extend their business. My organization on this end is to address delivery and zoning needs of my clients. Because I believe in improving the quality of the tools we use to complete our daily tasks, I developed applications not offered by the software vendors to improve our accuracy and timing. I have experience in data processing that includes "automation of databases" which cuts down processing time and error ratio. These applications include but not limited to "batch data processing" on a daily basis due to our ever-changing, dynamic customer databases. In addition to creating and maintaining our "intranet site", I also manage our "GPS tracking software" for field employees, create "geofences" and monitor mileage and time for accuracy. I maintain our "route optimization" software which requires that I am accessible twenty-four hours a day. My work ethic is apparent in my dedication to this position. Working in the newspaper environment has fostered my sense of responsibility, adaptability, team work and cross departmental partnership.
