Summary

I have been working in Information Systems for 15 years and have been able to contribute in areas such as SQL Server and .NET, some as a developer and much as a data architect. I have much database experience, both creating and improving databases for both front end and back end. While I have designed and engineered many successful solutions using SQL Server, JavaScript, C# and other Microsoft technologies like WinForms, WPF and ASP.NET, my passion lies in architecting and developing systems at the foundational data layer. I like database work and most supervisors have been fairly pleased with my performance. I have much of experience as listed below, mostly on contract project type work, 1-2 year at each place. If important, you may also call my home phone, 704-***-****.

Work History

Now -03/2019 JAARS (non-profit), Waxhaw, North Carolina Data Architect

I have been working as a volunteer for a non-profit near home to help them with a database problem. The database gets corrupted periodically and I had to figure out what was causing the database corruption. This was a complicated situation and took some time to find the problem. Used Access and VB.Net with SQL.

03/2019 – 5/2016 Self Employed Independent consultant projects

I have been in physical rehab for 3 years from a bicycle accident. While doing this, I have been working on some side projects and working with individual and family projects using SQL Server.

I have written a database for a guy that has an email business on the side. I built a database that tracks the people, email addresses, and the topics emailed out. These emails repeat periodically and need to be stored in a database. Now he can edit the info and send an email to his list. I developed the front end using WPF. I have been working with several people and volunteer organizations to help build solutions without going into an office. I have been working with Entity Framework, C#, MVC, JavaScript, IIS, OOP and VB.NET.

I have been doing much training lately on the latest innovations in the world such as Angular (JS-6), JavaScript, Visual Studio 13 & 14, Xamarin, WebSphere, DotNet Core and Azure. Things are changing drastically in the last couple years. Took many classes on Pluralsight to increase my training
