Resolved multiple scalability concerns as the sites grew in number and popularity.
Accomplishments Include:

the technical limitations presented when integrating multiple platforms.
November 2007 June 2009
Systems Developer Imperial Fire Addison TX
Designed and implemented software for a small insurance company with no previous in-house IT. Cut costs by
moving the company away from 3rd party software and eliminating the need for contractors. Launched 5
products in 3 states without the need for any additional staff by creating a scalable service oriented architecture,
automating processes, and building dynamic data driven applications.
Accomplishments Include:
Worked with a team of 4 to replace 11 contractors that were behind schedule. On-time completion allowed
the company to win a lucrative government contract.
Implemented an industry leading real-time rating engine and automated underwriting application.
Accomplishments include the payment processing system, rules engine, user authentication, database design,
and client side AJAX techniques.
Designed and implemented a reporting application (SharePoint) that was later used as a template by the rest of
the IT department for all intranet applications. Asked to mentor other developers on web development as well
as some of the specific concepts used in the application (much of its architecture was based on Gmail).
Eliminated complaints from dial-up users by implementing AJAX techniques (asynchronous service calls,
progressively enhanced data tables, and JSON) to cut page loads by 72%.
Proposed and implemented a batch process using the Adobe SDK to convert company documents to
postscript files saving months of development time it would have taken to port them to JetForm.
Interfaced with multiple 3rd party web services including Melissa Data to validate customer information,
Chase Paymentech to process credit cards & verify funds for bank transfers, and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration for weather alerts.

.Net, AJAX, and Web Services.
Accomplishments Include:
Researched and presented my approach to creating a store-locator. Designed and implemented the database,
objects, web service, and front-end involved. Interfaced with Yahoo GEO Locator to obtain coordinates, and
scrub the address. Wrote a wrapper class that deserialized the results, calculated the Haversine distance, and
displayed the map and directions all in one custom control.
Worked efficiently with an off-site development team to gather requirements and complete pages for a
personal auto insurance rating engine. Effective communication and dedication ensured a product that
exceeded expectations.
