General

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Delphi is my default language since I have worked with it from version 3 through their latest release of Delphi 10.2 Tokyo.
• I have created and supported many applications built with C#, VB.NET, and VB6 and continue to use them today supporting some of those applications.
• I have experience trouble shooting applications in many other languages as well.
• I do not give preference to one language over another though because I am a strong believer that what you are trying to accomplish dictates the language needed.
• You need the right tool for the job.
• Most, if not all, of my applications interact with data so I have experience with many different database servers.
• I have managed and supported MS SQL Server from version 2000 through 2014, Advantage Database Server from version 5.5 through 11.1.
• I have worked with dbase III in my early days and converted / transformed / normalized data to FoxPro and Visual FoxPro and later to SQL.
• I have also worked with SQLite, Interbase, MySQL, and MS Access mainly for local data used in supporting a store and forward approach.
• Again, I place no preference on the type of database technology as you need the right tool for the job.
• I have written and later upgraded applications that were deployed on Windows 3.1 through Windows 10, as well as cross platform applications deployed on Android, iOS, and OSX.
• I have built and supported Novell Servers as well as Windows Servers from Windows 2000 through Windows Server 2012.
• These servers have been in a variety of configurations from standalone to virtual domain servers on clustered hosts.
• I have managed small teams of developers both contract, temporary, and permanent.
• I have experience managing vendor contracts and I know how to work within a budget.
• Proposed and successfully executed projects keeping them on track and within the proposed budgets.
• Worked closely with executive management, directly reporting to company officers.
• I have also acquired experience in Nortel Phone Systems, Call Pilot Unified Communication, Cisco Routers and Switches, as well as phone and network cabling.
• In summary, I would have to say my best skill is with solving problems and creating long term solutions.
• I enjoy a challenge and I am satisfied whether the solution is as simple as pressing the power button, hunting through a million lines of code, or training someone on how to do something differently.
• The goal is the correct solution for the problem.
