Got started at 18 years old writing a data conversion script in Perl
for my mother’s client in the manufacturing industry.
Clients have included small businesses, universities, staffing agencies
(e.g. Robert Half Technology, ALTRES, & TekSystems) and large organizations
(e.g. University of New Mexico Hospitals, Central New Mexico Community College,
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Time Warner & Master Card) across industries
(e.g. retail, marketing, health care, education, research, non-profit) in Connecticut,
Hawaii and New Mexico. Have come to specialize in systems integration,
business process management, and data-oriented programming.
-
With minimal JavaScript experience at the time built JavaScript heavy dashboards
and backend Java / JSP code for a multi-tier system that read sensors in heavy
equipment, boats, yachts, and recreational vehicles.
-
Without any Flash or ActionScript experience converted a Flash animation
from the website of an aerospace company into a trade show display adding a
ticker tape display whose message (which could be edited by a user) would transition
between the ticker tape and the original Flash animation/video.
-
Worked on a Java based VoIP heads up display system for a telecommunications company
that they had implemented for their help desk staff. It was intermittently crashing
without reporting errors. Adding logging, a test suite and cleaning up the code
greatly reduced the crashing with errors being reported when it did.
-
Implemented a health insurance integration for a college which involved creating
complex SQL queries, creating a custom EDI 834 generator (had to quickly learn
the EDI 834 standard over a weekend), and a scheduled upload to the
insurance company.
-
Helped an IT Services company move a stalled project forward by creating an integration
for Microsoft Exchange, moving their code into source control, and getting them
into a bi-weekly sprint cycle.
-
Developed a logging system for a small software company that could handle thousands
of requests per second and run on a hosted VPS taking inspiration from Kafka for
the logging and using MySQL for permanent storage and querying based on Datalog
and the EAV pattern.
