Application Support DBA / Data Warehouse Specialist, Feb 2008 - May 2009
At Pfizer Pharmaceuticals (Groton, Connecticut; San Diego, California), I
worked as a Senior Application Support Oracle DBA within the centralized
Database Administration (DBA) Group. While there, I specialized in the
support of the Highly Available Oracle Data Warehouses running on Oracle
8i, Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g. I also wrote scripts in support of the
oracle databases and scheduled jobs using Shell scripting (Korn, Bourne).
The Data Warehouses I supported housed the Drug Development Pipeline System
(tracking all drug development) as well as the Clinical Trials Data
(required to be up 24x7x365 for access by the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA)). While there I also implemented database security
monitoring through the use of Oracle Fine Grained Auditing.

and the Oracle Apex (HTML.DB) Development Team in the development of Oracle
Apex Screens and Reports, used complement their Medical Claims Systems.
While at AvMed, I designed, developed and promoted several hundred Apex
Screens and reports.

Designer / Oracle Apex Install / Oracle Apex Developer, Dec 2005 - Mar 2006
At Charlotte County Record Search I performed the design, install, build
and deployment of a land titles record tracking system on Oracle Apex.
Using the same skills used at the Province of New Brunswick (Nov 2004 to
Nov 2005), I designed and implemented a system that would track land
transfers via deeds, wills, auctions, seizers and sales. Although the
system was used to track land transfers, the main function was to capture
genealogical information from these transfers for the use in genealogical
research.

Province of New Brunswick, Oracle 9i, Oracle Apex (Application Express)
Designer / Apex Developer / Coding Standards / DBA Liaison, Nov 2004 - Nov
2005
At the Province of New Brunswick (Canada), I performed data modeling,
design, development and coding of a new application utilizing Oracle Apex
(a rapid application development web enabled tool). The Apex application
was built for the Office of the Provincial Coroner (Medical Examiner).
Deployed on hand-held devices, the Apex System enabled the investigating
medical examiner to enter all aspects of the preliminary and completing
investigations into a thin client web application. The system was also
used by the Office of the Provincial Coroner to assign cases, perform
regional reviews, produce reports, as well as to produce death certificates
and other required documentation. Together with one other developer, I
worked on the development, design and build of several hundred Oracle Apex
data entry screens, forms (tabular forms, master detail, SQL Query), graphs
and data-driven navigation methods (menus, tabs, lists, trees,
breadcrumbs). I also implemented the Apex application security
(authentication and authorization schemas) on pages, regions, menus, multi-
level tabs, popup LOVs, calendars, buttons, JavaScript functions,
JavaScript buttons, etc. I also utilized my many years of experience in
writing SQL and PL/SQL Stored Procedures to implement reusable code which
could be called by the Apex application. Once the application was created,
we used the Apex Translation Application to create a version of the
application to be run in French.
Environment: Oracle 9.2.0.7, Designer 2000 Release 9.0.2, PL/SQL Stored
