-- Changed status from 1099 Consultant to Full time employee March 1st, 2008.

Consultant
While the owner of Asereth was inspecting the building of National Auto for purchase he asked if I knew any programmers that had knowledge about Microsoft Access. This ended up in a 6 year contracting position which I worked while I was an employee for Allianz. During that period I retained the services of 2 individuals for 9 months and I redesigned and rewrote all of their CRM, Scheduling, and Billing Systems in Powerbuilder 8 attached to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database which converted from Microsoft Access 2.0 (Very old). Later I converted the systems to Powerbuilder 9 and very recently to Powerbuilder 12.1 attached to Microsoft SQL Server 2008. The above Systems interface with Mas-90 Accounting and Paychex Payroll Systems as well as making calls into the Laserfiche Imaging API using a .NET interface I built to link our AMS System with all online Documents.
