• Managed small teams of developers for some projects

• Wrote Web service functions used by call centers, where telemarketers could enter customer information and the service would generate a sales-lead ID and store the information in a table.
• Worked on a .NET/SQL Server application to generate and run telemarketing scripts. The script generator was a Windows application that allowed you to add text elements, questions of various types (e.g. free-form, multiple choice), and links. Script elements could be shown conditionally based on answers to previous questions or on customer information. Elements could be used in multiple scripts, where an answer given in a previous script would display if the same question is included in a new script. The scripts were run by the telemarketers via a web browser.

• The first was a prototype of an online catalogue of Playbills, done in ASP and SQL Server 2005. I created the database structure (with plays, actors, theatres, etc), wrote stored procedures and wrote the ASP code.
• The second (three month) project was an online catalogue of products for a bakery, including an admin piece. This was done in C# (both Web and Windows) and SQL Server. I developed a strategy for supporting submission and approval of images (including versioning). The image submission piece was web-based, the admin piece was a Windows app and the final online catalogue of products was web-based.
• I worked solo on the majority of this project except for a small part of the ASP.NET code, which was done by another programmer who I brought in and managed.

• The project was a Point of Sale windows application with an embedded browser, done in C# and VB (.NET 2.0). The invoices were created through an existing web application running in the embedded browser. Requests and responses were trapped, at which point our application would take over to process the payment and print the receipt, communicating behind the scenes using Web service calls and via HTTP requests/responses.
• Part of a three-person team, for four months I worked on:
• POS for .NET code to print receipts to the receipt printer
• The event-trapping code to communicate with the embedded browser
• Web service calls to get invoice information / line items to print
• Other various parts of the program where needed

• Developed user-interface prototypes using JSP and Java Servlet programming
• Interfaced between page designers and back-end programmers

Created programs for scheduling daily activities of the children, to allow parents to communicate via a message board, and to view scanned-in artwork created by the children.

• Designed and implemented a graphical user interface at Lockheed Martin, Johnson City, NY, for jet engine controller test equipment

• Contributed to three successful releases of Pro/ENGINEER, a high-end CAD/CAM/CAE package
