Employment History

May 2009-Present

Prometheus Research Library

Developing a pro bono project, which will result in the creation of an

Object Oriented Database Application to provide an easy to use GUI

interface for users with unique database connections and protocols.

Implementation is being done using Java/NetBeans, Access and MySQL.

September 2004-August 2008

Parigi Group, a major apparel company.

As Programmer/Analyst consultant, developed and implemented client-server

applications for managing product inventory and clothing orders. Clients

were written in Java (using the Swing toolkit) and ran on Windows PCs,

communicating with server programs written in RPG and running on an

iSeries (AS400) server. Client and server used SQL to query a DB2

database overlaid with ABS.

Main applications were the Product Management System, which provided for

placement of orders and inventory management (including graphical image

display of products), and the Order Management System, which provided for

display and update of order status and generation of reports.

These applications were instrumental in reducing conflicts with clients,

regarding shipping and other errors, and resulted in significant cost

savings by rationalizing order processing and reducing charge-backs due

to packaging and other errors.

I was responsible for full application life-cycle, including interfacing

with users to define specifications, designing the application

architecture, deploying the application, testing, training the users and

writing user manuals.

I provided production support and trouble-shooting, including database

and operating system administration tasks, where necessary.

Turtell, a consulting company in the textile/apparel arena.

As Programmer/Analyst consultant for various apparel companies, developed

RPG programs on iSeries (AS400), and wrote enhancements to existing RPG

programs, to implement accounting, inventory control, orders and

purchasing.

Developed the Contact Management System, which managed personal and

business contact information, providing an interface to the corporate

email system. The application was written in VB.NET, using an Access

database, and ran on Windows PCs, either as a stand-alone or client-

server application.

As Programmer/Analyst consultant for various trade unions (IBT Local 840

Health Fund, SEIU Local 758 General Administration, IBT Joint Council 16

Pension Fund), developed a series of client-server programs to manage

deductibles according to a complex series of rules). Applications were

written in Visual Basic using a MS SQL database and ran as clients on

PCs, with the database on a central server.

Installed and administered the MS SQL database and converted the legacy

Access database to SQL.

Utilized Crystal Reports to automatically generate reports and mailing

labels based on interaction with the user running VB.

administration.
