Objective

I am seeking a challenging position in software development, which makes the best use of my skills in design, programming, and object-oriented technology.

Education

B.S. in Mathematics, University of Chicago
Windows Programming Class, UCSD Extension, San Diego
Two Visual C++ classes, UCSD Extension, San Diego
Two Active Server Pages ASP classes, UCSD Extension, San Diego
Three Microsoft .NET classes, UCSD Extension, San Diego

Experience

• GUI design and implementation of a Windows NT System Configuration Wizard, which is run on a new machine to automate the configuration of domain and user accounts, privileges, Control Panel settings, Windows NT services, and other system settings. It was estimated that this wizard reduced by 70 percent the manual time required to perform these tasks. This effort used many Windows NT internal functions as well as a custom DLL that I also implemented.
• Design and implementation of numerous modules supporting an integrated Windows NT-based Emergency 911 call answering and control system. Visual Basic 6.0 was the primary development tool, along with Visual C++ 6.0. The key areas of my responsibility included GUI design and implementation for the following:
• A server-based set of ActiveX DLLs and ActiveX EXEs that receive 911 call fax data from client machines and feed it to third-party fax software.
• Three modules, each with a unique GUI design for different phone hardware, to give the call taker rapid access to and control of 911 calls, including an optional aid for color-blind personnel.
• Several call center database maintenance modules using Visual Basic, SQL, DAO, and ADO, interfacing with Microsoft Access 2000.
• A module to provide caller address data via serial port to remote Computer Aided Dispatch systems.
• A module providing flexible volume controls for the 911 call taker.
• A GUI and implementation for an ASCII serial communication device, used between a call taker and the hearing impaired.
• A module enabling supervisors to view real-time status of all call takers in the call center, from the network server.
• A program that monitors all modules in the system for failure, with instant operator notification. This involved the use of many Windows NT internal functions.
• Implementation of many of the custom ActiveX OCXs used by the 911 systems. This was done using Visual C++ and Visual Basic.
• Developed a custom installation package for the above 911 system, using the InstallShield script language and development environment.
• Developed several in-house utilities, which include:
• GUI design and implementation of a line tester designed to work with automated Microsoft Test scripts.
• GUI design and implementation of a CAD Simulator, which receives dispatch data via serial communication.
