My primary responsibility is the daily monitoring of data which consists of information on credit cards, debit cards, and transactions from banks in the United States and abroad. Through SQL and VBScript I write load code and use batches for downloading, extracting, and decrypting files received. This data then must be logged into the Argus tracking system. The internship has given me the opportunity to build upon my SQL skills and improve my HTML skills in a business environment. Argus has provided me with the opportunity to learn a new language VBScript and gain experience in my field of study.
