Net 2.0 development in C#, Visual Basic, and C++. Objects created and reused in several projects that work with the

database, serial and usb ports, communication protocols (ISO7816, USB, TFTP), smart card programming, and cryptography.

Developed a tool that saved a technician what was estimated to be one day for each week of work. The tool was mea

oped several tools over the years that were used by engineering and manufacturing with no reported errors. Maintained an enh

anced iCLASS Programmer (programmed security cards to open doors) for on-going revenue generation, and delivered severa

l custom versions (on-time) that in two years made revenue enhancements of over 5%.

Developed a Web Service using Oracle's JDeveloper tool using ADF Business Components. Deployed an asynchron

ous Web Service to generate serial numbers. This included designing and installing new database tables and storing PL/SQL

procedures on the Web Server. The Service also writes and reads the serial number on a reader using a serial port and a TFTP

command. I also wrote several Java functions that packed and unpacked SNMP packets and preformed BER de-encoding of

additional data in the messages.
