For a copy of my resume, complete registration on this site, then drop me a note here.
I have worked with computers of all types and sizes, different operating systems, and all sorts of peripheral equipment for the past 20 years.
For the past couple of years (2006-2008) I was employed as a Sr. Systems Engineer for Advanced Systems Technology, Inc. in Pensacola, Florida where I was employed to work as the lead on a web based application known as Integrated Knowledge Elements (iKe). iKe is a robust application used for the development of courseware which has been certified as both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compliant by Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL). Training from iKe is compatible with every LMS tested so far, including NexPort, IntraLearn, Web Mentor, Saba, SyberWorks, and Meridian LMS. iKe contains a robust set of tools ranging for courseware building to project management. The application was developed in a mix of Adobe Coldfusion, Flash Actionscript 3, CSS, and XML. I was initially hired to work on the exisitng application and to begin the conversion of the application from Coldfusion to Microsoft's ASP.Net Technology with C#.
Prior to working with AST, Inc. I was employed as a Sr. Systems Integrator for Computer Sciences Corporation in Pensacola, Florida (2002-2006) contracted to the Department of the Navy for the Naval Education and Training Program Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC), and also for the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). I was the only developer on a task working on a web based application for the Navy Marine Corps Intranet Enterprise Support Services. This was a reporting tool used to track conversion of the existing network to a more secure intranet. The site supported the conversions progress with Navy Commands all over the world that have training programs. The application was based in Coldfusion and Javascript. I redesigned the application a total of three times in the four years that I worked for CSC. The final redesign which was not completed by myself was porting the application to ASP.Net. Each of the redesigns included changes to significant portions of the code as well as complete graphics treatment with designs created with Photoshop. A couple of examples of the design can be seen on the top row here.
Before my time back in Pensacola, I was employed with T1 Design, LLC. and later Idea Integration Corp. (1998-2001) in Houston, Texas where I was employed as a Site Builder working on various projects and primarily for Compaq Computer Corporation. I later worked as a Quality Assurance Lead, once again for Compaq on their intranet sites, and eventually as a Team Manager for Compaq.com production as well as a few other projects. I worked primarily with HTML, ASP, Javascript, .CSS, and a Photoshop. I learned quite a lot during this time and really enjoyed the people that I had the opportunity to work with.
Once again back in Pensacola, Florida I worked for Computer Data Systems, Inc. (1990-1997) for the Department of the Navy and NETPDTC as well as for the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS). During this time I worked on a wide range of mainframe systems, IBM MVS, IBM VMS, UNIVAC, Burroughs, and Hewlett Packard. I also worked on a host of Wang MVS and DEC VAX Systems. I began learning how to program with Digital Command Language and at the end HTML. I also learned quite a bit working with Unix systems. In this period of 7 years I also kept and maintained a data storage library of close to 85,000 volumes of magnetic tape, used card readers and punches, tape drives and disk packs that now will probably fit on my desktop system... or maybe even my thumb drive. I really hope that the Navy isn't still using those systems.
Thats all for now... we shall see what the future holds!
