EXPERIENCE
Allvac, Monroe, NC July 1996 until present	Senior Programmer/Analyst - Responsible for developing and maintaining custom applications for manufacturing plant operation and technical data processing. Migration of legacy applications from Paradox to Oracle. Centralization of data and standardization of user interfaces. Developed new applications to automate existing manual processes. Developed client/server applications with Oracle and Delphi. Implemented web-based applications for intranet use.
Technical Consultant,Metro Information Services, Nashville December 1995 until April 1996	Provided technical support and consultation to Northern Telecom (NORTEL) for ORACLE 7 database implementation and local intranet HTML access to the ORACLE 7 database. The application provided internal company employees with up-to-date network usage statistics and news announcements. Access to the ORACLE database was provided via dynamically generated HTML displays that supported data query, update, delete and insert. Bulk data loading was accomplished via SQL*Loader and Perl scripts. ORACLE 7 DBA related functions performed included table and index creation, tablespace maintenance, and user access privileges.
Technical/Marketing Manager, Giles County Education Foundation February 1995 until October 1995	Responsible for Technical Implementation and Marketing for Internet Point-of-Presence (POP) subscriptions in a rural county in Tennessee. Also coordinated and operated a Video Conferencing site for the local county. Generated and installed HTML pages for the local site with regular updates to reflect current subscribers and local POP capabilities. Coordinated with the Internet supplier located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
SENIOR SYSTEMS ANALYST, CAE-Link October 1988 until February 1995	Principal Project Engineer for the design, development, and implementation of a Management Information System (MIS), based upon an ORACLE RDBMS. Lead a group of developers through requirements definition, data modeling and design , implementation, and test of the system, with phased implementation. Established development standards, baseline and change control, problem tracking, and enhancement implementation. Baseline control of the system code and information model was accomplished utilizing ORACLE's CASE Tools and the features. Participated in the coding of forms and reports, and assisted the DBA in table, sequence, and index creation. The system provides the CAE-Link organization with budget, schedule, status, and technical performance information via menus and data displays accessible from any PC or workstation whether connected to the local LAN, accessed via modem from a remote site, or accessed via the Internet. The system was implemented so that the user did not require knowledge of the underlying Operating System nor knowledge of the ORACLE RDBMS. Seamless links to the features of the Unix O/S were accomplished using SQL*Forms triggers combined with P/L SQL procedural calls and UNIX shell scripts. Bulk data import and export were achieved utilizing SQL*Loader and FTP file transfer protocol. The system was originally developed on an IBM 9370 computer, utilizing a VM operating system, and was migrated to multiple UNIX platforms under Sun O/S 4.1. The system currently utilizes Version 6.0 of the ORACLE RDBMS, Version 3.0 of SQL*Forms, Version 1.1 of SQL*ReportWriter. Integrated selected commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products for project scheduling and cost performance determination. An X-Windows capability was also required for the PC and UNIX workstation users for access to specific COTS features.
PROGRAM MANAGER, CAE-Link April 1987 until October 1988	Directed functional organization personnel in the development, implementation , test, installation, and certification of helicopter flight trainers developed for the U.S. Navy under contract to IBM.
