Intranet Development – SRI contract for Lucent
Orlando, FL - Jun 1998 to present
  • Sole Responsibility for the Lucent Imaging Platform web site. Designed, built, and maintained the IIS/ASP web applications utilizing FileNet Imaging Platform ActiveX business objects to deliver image and workflow applications. The web site utilizes NT authentication for security and utilizes MTS objects to increase the performance of customized business objects created with VisualBasic 5.0. Developed many innovative user interfaces to leverage the existing product. Teamed with 2 Business Analysts and 2 Image Server Configuration people.
Intranet Development
Orlando, FL - Nov 1996 to Jun 1998
  • Worked with a team of 4 web developers creating Employee Support functions on the web. This HR application was built using Netscape Livewire and ran this way for several months. Later we targeted IIS as the target platform and translated the Javascript server side code to VBScript in a very short time frame. Client Javascript code was essentially unchanged. Client code was also written to function at a common basline 3.0 browser level with some support for 4.0 functionality.
  • All functions were transaction oriented and utilized either Oracle or DB2 databases. This was accomplished using ADO StartTransaction, CommitTransaction, RollBackTransaction methods on each ASP page.
  • All functions were also highly integrated with backoffice payroll and HR applications. Data was extracted directly and dynamically from mainframe and client-server systems. Functions were also coordinated to work correctly within the mainframe batch processing cycles.
  • Built a configurable web-log reporting tool using Visual Basic and MSAccess that allowed grouping and sorting functionality that was not available through commercial web log reporting software.
  • Built Java applets communicating with a VB server as part of a demonstration project.
  • Designed and built the 2 most complex functions on this web site:

1 - One function synchronized AT&T and National Bond Corp. databases via a nighly batch email (MAPI) interface. This allowed users to utilize the intranet web site to manage U.S. Savings Bond enrollments (saving support costs at the 800-number).

2 - One function extracted data from mainframe CICS screens that could not be replicated with NT based code. This data was displayed to users on the web by utilizing a server-side Visual Basic / HLLAPI screen scraper application which was created using Attachmate Extra Host Publishing. A complex Logon-ID pool manager was also integrated into this function in order to conserve server resources and eliminate the need for Logon-ID's for each user.

Business and Systems Analyst
Maitland, FL - Sept 1992 to Nov 1996

  • Served as the Lead Business Model Analyst on large team modeling efforts (Process/Data/Interface) which were directed at consolidating disparate business processes.
  • Directed Software Development Methodology teams which were empowered to establish standards for the development process at cross-enterprise locations.
  • Project Management experience with several large cross-organizational and cross-location efforts.

Semiconductor Engineer
KC, MO - June 1985 to Feb 1986

M.S. Chemical Engineering University of Kansas 1985
B.A. Biochemistry University of Kansas 1982

Research/Teaching Assistant - 1983 - 1985
  • Created BASIC software for data acquisition equipment measuring gas-field model-reservoir experiments. Created FORTRAN results analysis software. Supported petroleum engineering minor and Masters Thesis.
  • Radiochemical assays for biological sciences faculty research. Created results analysis software in MS-BASIC.
All my good server-side coding is on internal web applications so I can't show this to you. However, I built this resume to illustrate as much client-side functionality as I could pack in.
  • Browsers - Supports both IE or Communicator 4.0. Lots of testing is required to make sure things work right in both browsers. Look at the source code and you will see some spots where code specific to each browser is required.
  • Frames - This technology provides separate scrollable menu and content sections but also makes the cross-frame scripting a little tougher. I usually don't use these but there are times when nothing else works as well.
  • Javascript - This technology allows you to change page properties based on user input and drives the DHTML changes. Just about every page I create uses Javascript in some way. Good stuff.
  • DHTML - This technology lets me change the "contents" dynamically. Despite the quantity of cross-browser problems, this is still very useful stuff.
  • CSS - This technology allows you to define master formatting for HTML tags in a single spot instead of on every tag. Kind of like those WORD template (.dot) documents.
