  Programmer
     Responsibilities: Responsible for the design and implementation of several ASP.net/C#/SQL Server
     ecommerce websites.

     RubberMaid FastTrack: Allows users to search and read reviews on a variety of products and purchase
     complete kits or individual items for their garage. AJAX allows the shopping cart to dynamically update
     when a kit is selected, and for items to be added to or removed from the cart without reloading the page.

     Talking Tabs: Responsible for the design and implementation of a website marketing guitar instruction.
     Users can purchase a main kit, and then subsequently log in and purchase lessons containing individual
     songs. The interface uses the Telerik control suite to allow users to preview and play songs in a radwindow
     and to allow users to sort and filter from hundreds of available songs.

     SodaStream: Responsible for the design and implementation of a website marketing the SodaStream soda
     maker. Users can select a kit and a payment plan as well as several different SodaStream flavors. The site
     passes data to a third party fulfillment service to get a price quote for the user, as well as to pass the order
     information when the sale is complete.

     Conair: Responsible for the design and implementation of websites for a variety of popular Conair products.
     Each product was sold on its own site—just a few of these included the Conair YouStyle hairdryer, Conair
     hair styler, and Conair fabric steamer.

   Programmer
      Responsibilities: Responsible for the design and implementation of a quote website and a project
      management application to support a cellular/wireless testing facility.

      Quote Request Website: Generates price quotes for project-based work based on services requested.
      Allows users to select what type of components need to be tested; what standards testing (PTCRB, Bluetooth,
      Wireless, or FCC/CE) is to be performed, and delivers an estimate to the user. Allows management to
      request reports on customer quote applications, and allows salespeople to search both complete and
      incomplete quote requests in their efforts to close the sale.

      Technologies Used: ASP.net 2.0, VB.net, C#, AJAX, TSQL, SQL Server 2005

      Project Management Application: Allows users to add, edit, and delete projects based on the product
      being tested and the company requesting the service. Projects can be viewed by employees working on the
      project, and the current status can be viewed by customers as work is performed. Administrators can assign
      project privileges to employees and companies, allowing employees to see projects they are responsible for
      and external users to see the test status for their companies products.

VISA International, Foster City, CA                                                            Apr 2006-May 07

   Programmer

      Responsibilities: Responsible for the design and implementation of a fraudulent activity reporting
      application.

      CAMS Fraud Reporting: Visa’s current fraud reporting system depends on two main components—a
      winforms and command-line based fraud processing module, and a web-based data entry and reporting
      application. Visa did not have source code for any of the winforms or command-line applications supporting
      the website and requested that they be decompiled from IDL using RemoteSoft Salamander and rewritten.

      The rewritten solution consists of a C#/SQL Server winforms processing application using password-less
      PGP to handle fraud processing and data manipulation, as well as a ASP.net/VB.net/SQL Server web-based
      application to allow users to see and modify the status of suspected and confirmed fraudulent transactions.
      Through the web-based application, users can update and modify the status of an existing account, as well as
      generate reports on the status of groups of accounts.

      Technologies Used: ASP.net 2.0, VB.net, C#, AJAX, PGP Blackbox, SQL Server 2000, SQL Server

  Programmer
     Responsibilities: Responsible for developing an internal accounting reporting portal.

     ASP.net Portal: Responsible for developing a portal in which trade and accounting data can be distributed to
     users. Designed Javascript functions to override the default .net postback and allow data from third party
     DHTML controls to be passed back to the event handler. Users are assigned to groups, and privileges can
     then be assigned to users as to which data the user is allowed to see. A user or group can be allowed limited
     access to the application—for example, allowed to see trades only for a particular office or allowed to see
     portfolio information for a specific account. The application is extensible; new privilege types can be added
     to the application as new data becomes available.

     Accomplishments: Delivered the portal ahead of schedule. Helped to integrate Multibank Securities trade
     reporting into the portal after Refco secured their business.

Technologies Used: ASP.net, VB.net, C#, ADO.net, Oracle 9i, TOAD, Crystal Reports

     application containing Lucent’s organizational structure, as well as the processes and dependencies of each
     organization. An ASP.net user interface allows managers to enter their organization's structure and functions
     within their organization. Designed Javascript functions to override the default .net postback and allow data
     from a third-party DHTML rich-text editor to be passed back to the event handler. Components developed in
     C# use ADO.net to call stored procedures and return the resulting datasets to the ASP.net/VB.net user
     interface. Reports from the database allow managers to determine which organizations are essential to
     Lucent’s daily operations, and monitor their progress in planning for disruptions.
