Job description: E-commerce Architect .

The web site is an ASP providing a managed web-based licensing portal for subscribed local governments nation-wide. The architecture of the web site is self-managed. Each local government receives their own SQL Server database and virtual directory utilizing DTS programming and ADSI programming. I developed a user registration process that creates and customizes a SQL Server database and a virtual directory for each new user upon user registration and payment. This design eliminates the need to employ a new account administrator--a process similar in design to ISP hosting companies. I have also developed a COM transaction component, available to any Visual Basic application that requires Atomicity, an encryption component which utilizes the simple xor algorithm, and a context-sensitive help system which uses PERL to parse a RoboHelp generated index and key ASP, and several web site and table management utilities written in Visual Basic. In addition to my programming responsibilities, I am involved with heading group design issues, and organizing web site architecture and development.
