Confidential, is a market research company in the corporate aviation industry with a strong envisages on customer support and satisfaction. My primary responsibility was the development and coding of the company\'s four major products for existing Windows based customer software using Delphi 2007 and 2010. Due to my ability to support all four applications, the support and development costs were kept to a minimum. Also, developed several in- house tools for supporting these products. During the tenure at AMSTAT I;

Other products allowed the company to enter into and compete in new markets or expand in existing markets. My skills and experience allowed me to be the sole developer which kept development costs down.

• Liaison for the Voice team providing high quality customer support. Interacting with the customers and support team allowed a better understanding of the customers\' needs and issues. This allowed me to implement many improvements in both the software and support process. Due to these improvements, the support team saw a reduction in the volume of incidents and was able to reduce staff.
