2010-2012: Programmer Analysis II - JD Clark & Company
JD Clark & Company is a alternate investment company. They

software package. It was written entirely inhouse using 4D's 4th
Dimension RDBMS. My responsibilities included new features, bug fixes
and enhancements. I worked closely with the users to implement their
wanted features and fixes, worked with the IT department in Kansas
City to install updates and created many, many output reports.

Footprints, Inc. specializes in the development of custom
Macintosh/PC database applications for businesses using 4th Dimension

a combination of 4D and the web to manage their entire Engineering
Change process. Our two systems, ECAS and IBEX exchange information
between each other and a variety of other information management
systems at Boeing. Boeing is phasing out their other Change Management
systems to use ours exclusively. IBEX, Intra Boeing EXchange, is the
database I've been working on for the past three years. It manages
information such as BOMs, Change Memos, Engineering Orders, Firing
Orders, Effectivity and Applicability, external documents, etc. In
short, it manages most of the information Boeing needs to build its
airplanes. IBEX and ECAS have been in use at Boeing for 18 years.

Since junior high I've been interested in photography. Over the
years I've done freelance photography, owned a studio (inside of a
beauty salon), and worked as a part time photographer. It's mainly
been a hobby that brings in some extra income but I'm quite good at
it. I own the latest professional digital equipment (Canon) and
outdoor portraits are my forte.
