SUMMARY:
With over 20 years of software development experience, I am very familiar with total-
lifecycle of the software development -- from Requirement Analysis to System Delivery and
Deployment – and am very conscious of quality, budget, schedules and on-time deliveries.
Most of the software development I have done and dealt with is on Microsoft platform
(Microsoft IDE – Visual Studio) with all kinds of standalone and client-server, and web-
based applications using VB.Net, Visual basic (VB6), VBA (MS Office suite language), and
VBScript and Cold fusion (as needed), along with powerful tools for Data transformations
provided by SQL Server (SSIS and DTS) utilizing SQL, Oracle, MS Access, and some
other databases.
However, the strong-suites I have is in building integrated applications that apply multiple
applications of Microsoft Office Suite (MS Access, MS Excel, MS Word, Outlook,
PowerPoint and MS Project) deploying object-oriented programming and using underlying
common language (VBA-VB), along with SQL Server or MS Access as natural candidates
for databases. This provides an excellent tool for any kind of process automation.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
July 2012 – Present: Software Developer, Granite Services International (GSI), Tampa, FL
• At GSI, working in production support, modify and make changes as needed to their
main application called Crew Template -- a complex VBA application which has Excel
front-end linked with Oracle Database -- used by GSI for time/labor/expense entry for all
manpower they supply to their clients (mainly General Electric and others) all over the
world, applying various kinds of varying labor laws and other rules applied to the
contract work.
Oct 2012 - July 2014: Contract work (at home)
• Worked briefly on the side converting VBA code (Excel based application) to Visual
basic / VB.net. Also worked on an MS access application (VBA) for another small
company. Currently developing an in-house VB.net application (that uses ODBC
connection to SQL/MS access database as backend storage) to provide an interface to
Intuit Quickbooks for export and export of company’s accounting data as needed and

• Worked as a consultant in Information Technology (IT) on several existing systems
written in VB, .Net, VBA and ColdFusion with SQL and Oracle Databases as backend --
plus designed and developed a few new applications including a company-award
winning application called eKNP (Electronic Kaizen Newspaper System – Patented by
Boeing). It is a MS Excel application written in VBA using SQL Database, which serves
as an effective management tool to monitors the progress of all projects in the system
by providing not only their status with details as well as in summary format but also
enables the user to view any supporting document that is associated with the
development of the project. The application uses the OLE automation to fully utilize the
MS Office suites coding capabilities as it combines functionality of several application
(Excel, MS Word, Outlook, and Power Point) functions to make it highly automated
project management application); for example, the system has the ability to create a
Power Point presentation, in real time, with the current data stored in the system.
