Lead Programmer Analyst, Orkand Corporation, Research Triangle Park, NC 1992-1993

Lead a team of two programmers in the design, development and implementation of the Automated System for

Survey Information and Statistical Tools (ASSIST). This system was designed as an expert system used to

significantly improve access to National Center for Health Statistic data. The system is capable of generating an

analytical dataset regardless of its format or storage medium. The user may study the data through the use of

standard statistical tools as predefined by a user or the user may define or use their own personal statistical tools.

Another advantage in the development of the system is the capability to generate the usually complex Professional

Software for Survey Data Analysis for Multi-stage Sample Design (SUDAAN) code for the user with little or no

SUDAAN programming skills.

Programmer Analyst, Thomasville Furniture Co, Thomasville, NC 1991-1992

Designed, developed implemented and maintained an automated order services system. The system allows the

user to request an order, initiate the manufacturing of the item(s), determine the manufacturing completion date,
