August 1984 to Present MojoWorx Ltd., Erie CO
Owner
Own and operate a computer programming consultancy. I help small business realize their goals – using the latest tools and techniques available. Projects completed include:
• Advanced Cloud System Sync – Client uses multiple cloud-based solutions for online store (BigCommerce & Amazon), CRM (InfusionSoft) and other needs. They wanted to synchronize these with their on-premise ERP/Accounting system. Created a .NET-based sync system which included a plug-in architecture. This enables the client to add new sync modules as they grow into newer more advanced online systems.
• Powerline Surveys – Enhanced client’s existing .Net-based powerline survey application so that it supported synchronization with a master copy of the database in the cloud
(Microsoft Azure). It supported 100+ occasionally-connected clients and allowed them to sync whenever they were network connected.
• Greenhouse Automation – Designed and implemented a graphical interface and database to control greenhouse automation. The application is near real-time and makes extensive use of a SQL Server database. It is architected with Microsoft’s latest entity-framework data access technology, which reduced the implementation time significantly. The application comprises a report viewer, a controller dashboard, and a monitor service. Technologies used include: Visual Basic .NET, SQL Server 2008, Microsoft Reporting.
• Production Control System – Architected and designed a production control system for one of the country’s largest billboard production shops. The system was developed entirely in Visual Basic and ASP .Net. It is a multi-tier application, hosted on Microsoft SQL Server, with business logic contained in a central DLL.
• Stock Trading System – Designed and developed a stock trading system which used historical and pre-calculated data from an Oracle database, in concert with a real-time stock tick feed to make trading recommendations. Technologies used include: Visual Basic and Oracle 8i.
• SmartGolf – Designed and developed a golf tracking system that allowed golfers to grade each stroke of their golf game and analyze their performance. The program also continuously calculated their USGA handicap. The program was sold nationally through CompUSA. Technologies used include: Visual Basic.
• Aircraft Maintenance Tracker – Designed and developed a system to track maintenance records and FAA airworthiness requirements for commercial aircraft. The program was implemented in Clipper. It is still in use today by several public service agencies including the Los Angeles County Sheriff, and Orange County Sheriff. Technologies used include: Clipper.
