PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

2008 to present: VCI Group Inc.

I developed several Currency Trading Windows apps, and real-time price delivery systems, that communicate between brokers, servers, and traders. For live price charting and indicators I heavily modified open source Modulus code (C++) to fit customer specs. I also build the purchasing websites, and manage the trader/customer database [C#, C++, ASP, JS, MSSQL, FIX protocol, TCP/IP]

2006 to present: CounterClaim Inc., Eugene OR

Counterclaim is a Linux/Apache based website for court management, including cases, dockets, filings, court personnel, and calendars. I was brought in to document and improve the existing product and have been adding features and installing on new servers as required. [Linux, Apache, Java, MySQL, JSP]

Recent projects 2011-2013:

The Resource Innovation Group: I bug-fixed and then streamlined their 'Community Solar Tool', which dynamically estimates solar project costs/payback as user changes variables, then added a database, more functionality, and the capability to handle three additional states besides Oregon. http://communitysolartool.b-e-f.org

Developed the 'Oregon Rural Renewable Energy Tool' for NWSEED and the Oregon Dept of Energy, which collects data on solar and wind projects and gives tips, links, and future steps based on that input. http://energytool.odoe.state.or.us

· for Sustainable Utility Networks Inc. I designed and developed a website to track solar installation projects and let users calculate savings estimates. [Linux/Apache, MySQL, AJAX, Javascript]

2002 - 2005: Took hiatus from software (ran another business), but still created and managed websites for local businesses such as MarshallInsurance.com, TheCapriceDaySpa.com, and EugeneMassage.net

1994 - 2001: Charles Schwab, San Francisco CA

As a consultant at Schwab I was put on numerous teams, sometimes working independently, mostly in the 'SIM Tech' division. The largest projects were:

Developed servlets and pages for SchwabInstitutional.com, including mutual fund research, securities allocation tools, and a prospectus ordering system. This included design of some supporting Oracle tables. [VB, C++, Delphi, Java, JSP, Oracle SQL, 'View/Model/Controller' design]

Developed a suite of Windows apps ("SchwabLink for Windows"), used by Investment Managers for daily activities including fund trading and client account access. I worked on both the initial ('94-95) and "Y2K upgrade" versions of this product. [VB, C++, Delphi, SQL]

1992 - 1994: Pacific Bell, San Ramon CA

In a small “R & D” group I created the first bar-scanning software for central office equipment inventory, with data upload and report generation capabilities. Other projects included a terminal emulator and custom installation software. [C, Assembler, Visual Basic]

1984 - 1992: Pacific Bell, San Ramon and San Francisco CA

Numerous projects involving equipment inventory systems, IMS databases, custom reporting, Unix scripting, software installations, training of operations staff, and monitoring mainframe processes. [C, C++, UNIX, VB, Cobol]
