WORK EXPERIENCE
01/04-present - The Newberry Group - Consultant - Placed at DITCO, Scott AFB

My duties at DITCO were to facilitate programming solutions in VB, ASP, JavaScript, PL/SQL, and any other applicable technology necessary to business problems. Major accomplishments were the implementation of automated filing into a document imaging system. This automation saved over 2300 man-hours per year. This automation effort involved deployment of Visual Basic and ASP applications. In addition, PL/SQL coding and research was performed.

10/03-01/04 - Net Effects - Consultant - Placed at 321 Studios

My primary duties were to integrate a third-party ASP.NET-based forum application with the existing 321 Studios licensing web site. This included making code changes and creating new ASP and ASP.NET pages, making modification to existing SQL scripts and creating new ones, setting the new system up on the production servers, and the creation of testing and implementation documentation. I also coded a proof of concept concerning Phase II of the project, which was to integrate an internal version of the ASP.NET-based forum with Active Directory.

7/01-10/03 (Consultant 7/01-11/01 – Employee 11/01-10/03) Teralogix, LLC - Senior Software Engineer

Primary duties were to develop and support existing systems for AAQ subsidiaries, including DealerHQ (an online lead tracking system for car dealers), CAC (an extended warranty provider), and most recently for SIMON (a new product being developed and marketed by Teralogix). In addition to team-specific duties, as a Senior Software Engineer, I provided technical assistance to other developers within Teralogix, which included mentoring junior developers.

For SIMON, I developed a batch emailing system in VB.NET. In addition, I was part of the team that rewrote the entire SIMON system in C#. My task was to develop the data access classes and all components that interact with the database. This involved heavy work in building efficient SQL statements, stored procedures and user-defined functions. There were also tasks performed such as database normalization and SQL tuning, and a minimal amount of ASP.NET development.
For CAC, I developed a commissions payable component in VB.NET, for the CAC accounting system rewrite. I also performed production control and support duties, which included working with another team member to write an ASP-based production control management system to automate PC duties. Both SQL Server and mySQL database were used in these systems. Additional duties included building SQL queries to be executed against the database, handling light database maintenance and manipulation at the systems level.
For DealerHQ, I developed a faxing system to automatically fax and email reports from a web-based system to DealerHQ clients. This system utilized both Microsoft and Linux platforms and was written in Visual Basic and Perl. The database for DealerHQ is SQL Server. Another project involved taking dealership leads generated from 3rd party vendors, such as CarFax.com, AutoByTel.com, and Cars.com, and import these leads into DealerHQ in an automated fashion. DBA tasks, such as SQL tuning for my project and projects being performed by other team members, modification of backup schedules, database normalization, and even building database servers from scratch for server rebuilds, new server builds, and disaster recovery situations. In addition to new development, I performed major and minor maintenance on the DealerHQ system, written in ASP (VBScript, JavaScript, SQL Server).
