Perform updates and additions to the corporate clinic software distributed
to 2500 clinics. Supported daily data operations and corrections. Delphi
2009 and MS SQL 2008.
Trimble / PeopleNet Online (Nov. 2011 - May 2012)
Perform updates and additions to the corporate web and back-office
operations by adding features to the user capabilities and creating
applications and SQL processes to support these new capabilities. In
addition, the work encompassed a number of change requests, a queue manager
project to accept and process data from multiple sources for the immediate
transmission of data to the end users, and an upgrade to the in-house
deployment builder application. Delphi 7, DLL for Web services, with
templates, XML data flow, multi-threaded queuing system and FTP transport.
WellCare Health Services (Aug. 2010 - Oct 2011)
Provide support for existing Delphi applications, these are applications
that provide in house support and corporate specific operations to the Dell
Xcelys Medicare-Medicaid Member Processing system. This work moved into
converting all of the 30+ applications into C#/.Net web applications. The
environment included Oracle 9 and 11, Delphi 4, TOAD, Visual Studio 2005,
Crystal 10.5, dBase IV, MYSQL, IIS 7/7.5 on 32 and 64bit servers.
Fidelity / Lenders Processing Services (Aug. 2009 - Feb. 2010 )
Upgrade code set from Delphi 2006 to Delphi 2010. A team of 4 staff
employees with three consultants were tasked to perform the upgrade, with
the target umbrella platform to be the Microsoft Internet Explorer versions
6, 7, and 8. The code set was approximately 800K lines of code, interfacing
to a mid-tier COM/DCOM set of objects (part of the code set), supported by
an IBM mainframe DB2 database. The source for third-party components was
available, and was in addition to the base code set (two of the several
component builders were no longer in business). Quick Reports and IBM 3270
terminal emulation were part of the final product build. Of the team, only
three, myself, one contractor, and one staff member, were the Delphi code
producers, while the others performed other tasks such as installation
builds, ASP interfaces, and database enhancements. The primary effort was
completed in four months, with testing consuming the balance of the eight
month project. The target distribution was approximately 35,000 users into
several of the major banks of the United States. Delphi 2010 DB2, COM,
Middleware,
DataMax System (Dec. 2005 - Dec. 2007)
. Developed software to administer the office back-room operations for
DataMax Marketing Systems.
. Identified and developed processes to handle varied operations
necessary to support the continuous flow of sales initiatives, support
operations, and daily management of the business. Integration included
data movement between multiple MSSQL and MySQL databases, email
functionality, course scheduling, and web-base store operations.
. Developed pseudo-automatic generation of agent web sites with agent
access to base level site management, and a corporate sales site (web-
based store).
FactorMax System (Jan. 2004 - Dec. 2007)
. Developed a software prospect generation system, with associated
processes for internet access, data movement, multi-office data
management, and sales force oversight, the system used MSDE SQL for
local data storage, with transmission to corporate SQL database for
overall management of outside offices and total agent support and
productivity.
Fisher Data Conversion Tool (Dec. 2003 - Aug. 2004)
. Converted comparative results from medical laboratory equipment from a
previous format to a new format for ongoing storage and statistical
analysis.
. Project responsibilities consisted of a project management, acting as
a client liaison, a laboratory test expert and a programmer.
. Converted approximately 700K+ records into the new format based upon
an Oracle database.
XenaCare Computer System (June 2002- June 2003)
. Created a specialized multi-site Medical Point of Sale program,
connecting back to a centralized data storage site via extranet
interconnection.
. The central site processed and separated data as either
private/medical data or transactional/accounting data, and performed
both fulfillment and administration operations and interfaced to the
web-host functions of FedEx, UPS, and AuthorizeNet/IPayment for
transactional processing and shipping.
. The connection protocols were done via COM/DCOM and XML, over TCP/IP,
with Microsoft SQL database.
. Total development was in excess of 100K lines Delphi v6/7 and 50K
lines SQL, on MS SQL 2000.
The Radio Traffic Analysis System, Polk County, Florida (Feb. 2001 - Dec.
2001)
. Used Delphi as a TCP/IP receiver to capture traffic packets on the
radio controller LAN and store them onto an SQL server for analysis.
The project consisted of two parts: the packet receiver and storage
module, and the reporting module. The packets were UDP data broadcast
on the radio controller LAN and were trapped in real-time mode. From
this data the reporting module would generate several types of
graphical and text output in real-time that would depict traffic
patterns, device usage data (department, user), traffic bottlenecks,
device failure occurrences, and other management information to help
proactively manage the radio system. The system is still growing, but
currently has over 5000 devices on the radio network, covering the
entire county, including three cities and over 12 separate agencies.
The data is expanding 4M records per month, and currently holds 90M
transmissions (350M records) online (2009) spanning eight years.
Development was initially in Delphi 4, and upgraded to 7. The
database is MS SQL 6.5 converting up to 2000 and then to 2005.
Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TGSLC) Contract (June 2001 -
Oct. 2001)
. Designed and developed a data transport system to provide data
movement between several hundred outside agencies and the mainframe-
processing component of the organization. The system included
movement of data via FTP, SMTP/e-mail, CompuServe Dial-up, and several
internal intranet sites, moving it to a DB2 database. The data was
user protected and optionally encrypted during the movement. An
administration system coordinated users, authorized movement,
authorized processing; and encryption operations and tracked the
movement of data from each agency. The transport system typically
handled several hundred operations daily, both incoming and outgoing,
each of which was typically several hundred megabytes in size. Due to
the type of data, the system was built to handle transactions in the
multi-gigabyte capacity, which happened several times per month.
Development was in Delphi 5 and the dataset is DB2.
Lee County Property Appraiser (City, State)
1996-2001
Supervisor of IT Special Projects and Computer Aided Mass Appraisal (2000-
2001)
Programmer/Analyst (1996-2000)

appraisals covering 450,000 properties and 130,000 businesses for tax
revenue generation.
. Recruited to oversee the conversion of a major set of programs and
data from a mainframe to a PC environment and to manage continual
development, support and operations.
. Managed daily operations, network configuration and server systems
build/maintenance/operations.
. Developed SQL databases and deployed software.
. Managed coding for approximately 1/3 of the code set for the move.

for operating a state mass-appraisal system.
. Rewrote major changes into the code set accommodating major additional
exemptions, levees, and additional local and state changes to the tax
code.
. Responsible for about 85% of the code set after major revisions on the
state and local tax codes.
. Performed Y2K conversions
. Developed a data and asset tracking as well as processing system which
was designed for the communications division to cover the change over
and servicing of the new 800MHz radio system. It took about 1.5 years
to develop and was completely written in Delphi. The back-end is on
MS-SQL and has 30K+ lines of support SQL for data operations. This
was a high-standard inventory control system, but included event-based
maintenance, damage control reporting, multi-level components,
integrated bar-coding, property-control responsibility settings, user-
defined attributes, and manager operations. Some special aspects of
this system include internal interfaces into Crystal low-level calls,
NT Services to handle special data upload/download, and multi-level
secured access. The application was developed in Delphi 7. The
database is MS SQL 6.5 converting up to 2000 and then to 2005.
