• At Southeastern Container I worked with SQL Server ASP.Net SharePoint 2010 Dynamics AX 2009 BizTalk Server and did custom application and Windows Service development. My first task was to upgrade the enterprise from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010. I saw several projects through from beginning to end and assumed responsibility for Dynamics AX workflows and SharePoint management. I developed workflow templates for Dynamics AX to be used by our accounting department as well as coordinating with vendors and our bank to put into place new functionality for the department.

Senior Developer

• I have developed software designed and implemented infrastructure managed applications managed both web and mail servers for Outlook International since 2002.
• I brought the company onto the .Net platform shortly after it was launched and have maintained and upgraded the company s existing system as well as researching and implementing new systems and solutions.
• With Outlook I ve had the opportunity to work with major corporations providing inventory tracking applications as well as integrating data from disparate sources seamlessly into SharePoint and custom applications.

• I was originally hired by Outlook as a contractor to flowchart their current web application. When the lead developer had to travel to Asia in an emergency situation I took over managing the SQL database and customer issues. While doing so I evaluated the current program and made suggestions on upgrades. The original program was written using a product called Drumbeat 2000 which was subsequently bought by Macromedia and discontinued.
• I noted immediately that each customer had an individual page that was identical to other customers except for the customer specific information. I rebuilt the application on the then brand new .net framework and used session variables to determine the users company providing only information and logos relevant to the customer. This increased both the efficiency of the application and the ease of maintenance. All of the data was stored in a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database which was replicated globally using merge replication.
• With that success I was quickly utilized to design and program new applications to facilitate the tracking of purchase orders shipments reports and testing. These applications were done by taking user requirements requests and suggestion and turning them into a functional application. Many of these programs are still in use today.
• It s important to note that the company was global and data was kept redundant on servers in the US Indonesia the Philippines China and eventually Vietnam and Malaysia. Each of these locations hosted their own web server due to the poor connection quality normally available in Asia at that time and each one required management which I provided.
• Being user driven these programs often had to incorporate features not available in other applications. I customized the .Net datagrid to allow nested datagrids reports and all matter of hierarchical data to the user s specification.
• As the .Net framework evolved to version 2.0 I began using AJAX to improve the user experience in web applications Incorporating the AJAX.Net framework and the AJAX control toolkit to make the user experience more pleasurable.
• All during this time I was also managing server installs Microsoft Exchange IIS and other Windows server products in an Active Directory environment.
• I also developed a management dashboard to be installed on Windows machines that would give both server status and financial information to the owners of the company.
• It was during this time that one of our customers stopped sending purchase orders without any notice and upon being asked why declared that they would only do business via EDI from that point on. This created an emergency that I was tasked to sort out. I chose Microsoft BizTalk Server to address the data integration issue and was successful in building a solution to solve the problem. It would be the first of many data integration projects based on the BizTalk server platform.
• It should be noted that I was also in charge of maintaining the office in an administrative capacity and handled the day to day necessities as well as arranging for and supervising T1 line installation utility activation/cancellation etc. I was also in charge of building new development machines PC repair customer assistance and shipping repaired/new equipment to our global locations.
• Security concerns also fell to me much of the time and I was constantly working to keep our data and our servers safe.
• As our business evolved we were asked to support a huge customer using Microsoft SharePoint server and another custom EDI solution using BizTalk Server. The timeline was tight but I was able to get the solution done and launched two weeks from getting the proposal.
• During this time I started virtualizing our servers using first VMWare then Microsoft Hyper-V to make sure we could handle the demand for new machines. I also started building custom servers to maximize the value and provide a strong platform for virtualization.
• With Outlook I ve been presented challenges researched applicable technologies and formulated solutions to meet the company and the customers requirements. I ve set up SharePoint Farms Exchange organizations and multiple domains. I ve handled hardware failure hacker intrusion attempts and customer relations. I believe my time spent at Outlook has prepared me for various positions in both IT and development.
