PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Arkansas State DIS: March 2014- Present

Job Duties include: maintain, develop and Test Web Applications using Microsoft technologies:

Visual Studio 2008, 2012, 2013 with Microsoft SQL Server 2008, 2012 and/or DB2 for Back End

Databases.

One of Web application was developed with Multitier design Architecture with clear separation of

user Interface from the Data layer. It Contains the following layers: Web forms, Appcontroller

classes, Data classes and Utility Classes. The Appcontroller classes are the interaction layer

between the User interface (View) and the Data Classes similar to the MVC model.

Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield: September 2003- February 2014

System Analyst/ Programmer II

As a system Analyst and member of Information Systems Management for the marketing Group,

Responsibilities include: Analysis, design and development of Multi-tier Applications with

Market Write software Analysis Group under Information System Division.

I am currently involved in analyzing and fixing and testing ASP.NET Websites issues and making

changes to ASP.NET web forms and Web Services as needed using Visual Studio 2010 and TFS

or creating and updating SQL Stored procedures.

I was involved in a team to design and development of an in- house ASP.NET Backend

Framework that created a clear separation between the following layers: Business Logic, Data

access Object and Back end Data source.

I have written Web Services in VFP and in .NET using XML, SOAP and WSDL technologies.

I wrote several supporting batch Jobs in VB.NET and VFP to retrieve data from SQL Server

databases using complex queries or calling SQL stored procedures and compile the resulting

dataset into SQL reports or PDF reports or generate flat ASCII file(s) that can be used by data

warehouse to be loaded for other departments for querying/analysis or special type of processing.

My previous projects Implementation included: redesigning of Market Write Desktop Application

Menu and Users access modules. Market Write Desktop Application includes a Global Object that

instantiate a set of supporting Objects/classes based on Abstract factory Design Pattern that

support existing legacy VFP Systems/Modules. This system is designed with multiple layers: VFP

Data, data classes, business classes and presentation layer.

I have written middle-tier modules (business classes and data classes) in VFP to access some key

information stored in DB2 Databases by calling DB2 Store procedures through DB2 connect.

I have written many batch processes Jobs to retrieve information from various Databases:

Microsoft SQL 2005 Databases, DB2 or VFP then compile the information into XLS, Word or

PDF reports that are forwarded to a distribution list using SMTP technology.

Tab Products - Software Engineer December 1997 - May/2003

As Senior Developer, responsibilities included the design and development of Tab Product's File

Tracker software application. File Tracker was developed in FOXRO and the bar-coding interface

was written in Visual basic 6. This application has been sold to companies around the world

including a number of fortune 500 firms. While primarily a client based solution, File Tracker

supports a migration tool to automatically replicate data to/from a variety of external applications,

support for barcode readers and many other features. The primary purpose of the system is to

track files stored in the Tab filing equipment. As such, it provides an extensive way to find

physical files, track location (archive, file cabinet, person to whom checked out, etc.) It provides

extensive configurability by the end user for maximum use.

I was also involved with a team of developers to design a prototype Version of File Tracker 7 as a

client-Server version to access remote Data Sources Such as SQL 2000 databases. We used VFP

7 and Mere Mortals Multi-tier architecture Framework for Prototyping.

We designed a simple web interface using classic ASP to perform Databases lookup and searches.

I was also available to answers clients problems and provide solutions when technical support

department cannot solve client’s File Tracker/System Manager related issues within an

appropriate time frame.

Versatrac - FoxPro Programmer/Analyst June 1996 - November 1997

Responsibilities include the design, implementation, and Quality Assurance of the Versatrac

Inventory Control System that is in use by a wide variety of firms to manage IS systems.

Versatrac is a design tool used by IS Department Managers to custom-build their system

according to their organizational needs.

Software concepts used in Versatrac are: Relationship Environment Model (REM), Processes-

Oriented Windows (POW) and Nested Tracking (NT). Advanced and powerful queries are part of

the core system that enable the user to query information from its internal system database, user

defined screen and its joined table. Versatrac is fully implemented in Microsoft FoxPro .

Woodward-Clyde Consultants: October 1989 - May 1996

Database Analyst March 1991 - May 1996

As a member of the Systems Analysis Group, responsibilities include development of

database applications. Projects involved developing software applications such as CIMOS

(Cast-iron Maintenance Optimization System). CIMOS is used as a tool for maintenance

planning on a cast-iron (CI) main network; a set of analytical techniques is used for selection

of repair or replacement options for Cast-Iron Gas Piping Systems.

I wa in charge of SAS Licensing for the group and wrote many supporting statistical scripts

in SAS

I have developed a report/graph interface to present model parameters and system’s optimal

results for various runs graphically in FoxPro using OLE. I have programmed complex

matching algorithms to match unrelated sets of data types. I have developed many complex

screens, ASCII loader screens and data entry/editing screens with stored validation

expressions/functions stored into the database and configured for optimal use.

I was involved in the development of GIS interface to our software. I have written several

utilities to tie information from FoxPro to ATLAS/GIS (Geographic Information System

Package) using C/C++ script provided by ATLAS under MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class)

library framework.

I worked with Oracle reporting and querying using SQL commands, SAS Routines: Basic

Statistics, Data Access IN/OUT of SAS system and SAS Graphs presentations: Probability

Plots, Histograms, XY/Plots, Charts, etc.).

Computer Technical Support October 1989 - February 1991

Responsible for all aspects of software and hardware installation in the System Analysis

support Group. Tasks included: maintaining smooth operation on all PCs in the group by

troubleshooting either hardware or software problems as they come up; ordering new PCs

with operating systems and other software upgrades and installing them; researching new

products and services.

In addition, I designed programs in FORTRAN for statistical applications; created forms and

reports in RBASE and performed requested simple statistical analysis from databases for

various projects.
