Professional Notes
My professional development has included Visual Basic 3, 4, 5 and 6, Delphi 1, 2 and 4 programming languages. My database experience includes Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, MSAccess, dBase, FoxPro, DataEase, ISAM, flat file databases and console to Windows NT applications. I enjoy object orientated distributed designs - Windows DNA, ActiveX, COM/DCOM programming and familiar with the latest techniques. Projects that I direct design use extensive class implementation with local and remote, statefull and stateless COM/DCOM servers running in MTS or COM+ using MSMQ, Queued components and COM+ events. My preferred application design is Windows DNA Architecture. Thin ASP/JavaScript client or Client/Server GUI to VB heavy middle tier under MTS or COM+ and ADO/OLEDB/XML to the data layer and Oracle or SQL Server back-end. Middleware I design and implement use Security Context, Object Context and DTC Transactions. Object programming is my pursuit to benefit all concerned, be it end user or the programmers who follow me. To have a properly laid up object model both in code and database makes the difference between a nightmare and positive experience for clients and programmers. Although object model can be complicated, my programming style is one of simplicity if possible. Goal objectives are expedient completion of the project, without compromising quality. My most valuable skills are intuition, experience and common sense.

I have operated primarily as a contract programmer. Most, if not all of my sales, application design, analysis, hardware purchases, and software support I did myself. This has given me a great advantage of being able to handle client relations properly including software development, installation and support. I am a believer in the premise that the programmer should be in the loop of client relations during development and support if the individual has the aptitude.

I have worked in Client/Server environments using Unix, Windows 2000, WinNT3.51/4.0, Win3.11/95/98 Server/Client and Intranet networking. Accomplished in software/hardware technical support and enjoy dealing with customers in difficult situations and demanding needs.
