	1996-1999 SM&P Utility Resources, Inc. Indianapolis, IN Corporate Applications Integrator •      My primary responsibility was to be the jack of all trades in a 2-man MIS shop that consisted of my manager and me. I would research, propose, design, implement, configure and deploy all necessary corporate information systems. I met all my project timelines and received all my bonuses as a result. The primary process that I automated, originally took 55 people in the field with 3 business days to complete, and was reduced to 16 people taking just one day. I had a lot of freedom and ability to innovate process and technology. •      1999 I upgraded all the existing remote SQL 6.5 databases to a corporate NT 4.0 Enterprise Server and SQL 7.0 Enterprise in 38 hours straight over the 4th of July weekend, which was 16 hours ahead of schedule. I implemented our primary application for the 1,200 remote field personnel. I also converted another file-based application I developed to a SQL 6.5 database /ASP Web Site application using Visual Interdev 6.0. •      1998 I implemented OWA for Remote Users as part of the conversion I completed from MS Mail 3.1 on Novell 3.1 to Exchange 5.5 on a NT 4.0 Server. I implemented the executive overview application in Visual Basic 5.0 accessing the remote SQL databases via VPNs to facilitate real-time executive access to critical operation measurements of the districts and regional sites captured in the corporate application I created. •      1997 I implemented an Internet Web presence for SM-P at WWW.SM-P.COM with IIS 3.0 using FrontPage on an NT 4.0 Server. o I created a beta version of Web-based ticket access with DBWeb. I deployed MS Proxy 2.0 for limited corporate user use for browsing the Web. I implemented a claims application for the corporate office as a file-based application. Reporting was done by using Access 97 to facilitate unlimited reporting requests. I redesigned and converted the ticketing file-based application from VFP 3.0 to VFP 5.0 for use with SQL 6.5. This app used remote views to remove the 2 GB DOS file limit on FoxPro, which we were approaching after the first year as planned. I also moved to a NT 4.0 Server with duplexed and mirrored drives on a Compaq Prosignia 500 and a NT 4.0 Workstation environment eliminating the Novell 4.01 and GroupWise NLM, as well as the GroupWise desktop app and WFW 3.11 as they were not viable in a remote district environment via Internet Dial-ups, RAS, and VPN’s for routing and dispatch.  The routing features were accommodated in the ticketing application by using an auto-routing function in the ticket receiving process that I wrote. The three regional sites were connected to the Internet via fractional T1 line using Adtrans and ACC Danube that I configured and installed.  The remaining 10 district sites where using NT Workstation 4.0 with the ticketing application and connected via a dial-up account using RAS and connected to the NT and SQL Server via a PPTP/VPN connection that I implemented. •     1996  I finished deploying the ticketing file-based application to the two remaining regional sites in Milwaukee and Dallas in 6 months.

Indianapolis, IN Corporate Application Integrator •      I was hired to start an applications integration division for Lantech of America, Inc., who was a primary partner I had worked with while I operated DNA Software Co., Inc. •      1995 I implemented a beta version of an automated ticketing application (C4) for SM&P Utility Resources, Inc. at a beta site in Noblesville, IN. This application was unique in that it received the electronic ticket (work order) from the One Call via a modem that was supposed to be connected to a TTY printer. I used the ActiveX control MSCOMM32.OCX and dynamically parsed the incoming ticket via a database of text anchors (tokens) and runtime functions to populate the database, and then emailed the ticket to via GroupWise for routing and dispatching the ticket to the locators via a batch process on paper. I leveraged Novell GroupWise 4.0(NLM and Windows Desktop Application) with Visual FoxPro 3.0 (file based database) via DDE on NT 3.5 Alpha Shell in a Novell 4.01 environment. •     1994 I implemented a custom application for Resort Condominiums International to facilitate librarian research of competition and completive analysis. I integrated PaperWise Imaging and Text Bridge OCR with Visual FoxPro 3.0 (file based database) and Visual Basic 3.0 via DDE on WFW 3.11 in a Novell 3.1 environment to accomplish this. Then leveraged the FoxPro Rushmore query capabilities and the text OCR’d via Text Bridge, and tied with the image retrieval of PaperWise via Btrieve database based on a unique key from FoxPro assigned at the time the image was scanned. I designed, developed, integrated, and installed Platinum Accounting System with Visual FoxPro 2.6, Visual Basic 3.0, and Excel 4.0 via DDE and OLE Automation on WFW 3.11 in a Novell 3.1 environment as a beta Version of an in-house Quoting System for Lantech of America
