Consultant

Created multiple web-based interfaces to provide a network-centric view of data, in graphical and tabular formats; these

interfaces include various front-end/back-end combinations (PHP/MySQL, JSP/Oracle, PHP/Oracle), with the data collected

from client files.

Created a web-based store ("WebStore") where clients can configure computer systems before purchase and obtain quotes

and details automatically; this program, written in PHP and MySQL, is completely data-driven, and can be completely updated

and expanded without any re- programming.

Created an IntraNet TS/SCI course, in HTML and JavaScript, first as sole programmer and then as lead programmer and

programming manager, for that client.

Created five other IntraNet TS/SCI courses based on the procedures set up in the initial course, at the same location.

Created a Web-Based Tool for Web-Based Training (WBT2) to make the creation and maintenance of our Web-Based Training

quicker, easier, and more maintainable. New version, fully database-driven, WeBTuT, was ready for initial testing deployment.

Designed and programmed the interface for a project for the Defense Intelligence Agency; this multimedia program is both

simple and engaging, running direct from CD, for use as a "pre-course". Also created all code, plus procedures for ensuring

the courseware could be developed quickly, efficiently, with maximum impact.

Created several projects' web sites, including some which have been copied by other projects at

the Fort Meade location. These are clear, easy to use, and easy to maintain/expand.

Webmaster for a group of projects at a client in Fort Meade, Md. Manage content, create, edit and post materials; automate

processes using various languages, including Perl, PHP, and Toolbook. Includes all design and implementation.

Created web-based documentation, and those pages and menus necessary to access it.

Multimedia Programmer / Senior Instructional Systems Engineer

Lead programmer and system software designer on many large-scale multimedia/instructional projects. Duties included creating

all framework code, designing, all the data collection routines, all the authoring system (OASYS) templates, and attendant

subroutines. Also created many executable utilities to increase the efficiency of the course development process.

Created OASYS templates noted for their flexibility, power and breadth. Courseware created with these templates is easily

updated by non-programmers.

Principal accomplishments:

created the templates and code structures for the world's first authoring-system-based networked Team-Training

system for PC-level machines

made an interactive code-generation facility for large courseware projects (a precursor to OASYS)

was the sole programmer/program designer on GATE, a large-scale interactive instructional system

directed a staff of four programmers for a major interactive videodisc training program for the US Army;

Strengths

an unusual combination of skills: along with extensive programming experience, a strong background in and understanding of human

factors and interface design (including the visual design capabilities from my art training).

good communication skills, which can be used to help people in different areas of a project understand each others' problems and

concerns.

project management experience, which allows me to understand the issues relevant to that side of the development process.

experience with both authoring systems and databases which provides an appreciation for the time and expense that can be saved

with the judicious application of these two approaches.

a quick learner, conscientious and willing to do what is needed to do the job right.

work well both independently and as part of a team.
