Current Work Interest

The technologies of Microsoft along with the application of object-oriented paradigms serve as the foundation of my work experience. The creation of ASP.NET (Classic and Core MVC) applications that interface with relational SQL Server databases have been the area of my expertise the past 10 years.

I am a Microsoft .Net computer programmer by trade, but my work ethic is not limited to the creation of desktop and web-based apps that target this framework. My work history and academic knowledge has encompassed the management of client-to-sql server apps that propagate within the network of Windows computers, which, with regards to job role changes, enabled me to commit to the job responsibility of a SQL Server Administrator or a .Net software developer. Although my years of work have consisted more of .Net programming at the application layer, I have accumulated some advanced SQL Server knowledge at the database layer such as, Replication, SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS. My contributions at this level have included, creating databases, creating tables, querying, and optimization.

My goal is to move to a full-time, object-oriented computer programming environment. The work I have done has been on-site with some freelance projects. My work history was with Weston Green Bay (Formally known as Norse Dairy Systems) located in Green Bay, Wi and headquartered in Columbus, Oh. I worked for that company 12 plus years programming with Programmable Logic Controllers and C#/ ASP.Net Core/ SharePoint. I have 10+ years of work experience with .Net/C# object-oriented development (SharePoint/ASP.NET Core) with Azure SQL SERVER.

The years I worked with Weston were successful, however, their new business structure outsourced the need for an on-site software developer which led me to seek other employment opportunities.

My Work History by Year from The Most Recent

2021-2022

From 2021-2022 I accepted a temporary computer programming assignment at AFG (American Foods Group) Technology Center in Green Bay, WI. My role included creating .Net/ASP.NET Core applications for the agriculture industry and helping maintain their Infor Suite of ERP software. This assignment introduced me to the integration of ERP software in the DevOps environment. Although my primary role was a .Net developer, the goal of the company was to have data collected by the .Net programs flow into the servers that hosted a family of Infor ERP software. During that time, I was able to build my knowledge base on some core essentials of working with ERP and business intelligence software. I am willing to continue with any formal ERP training needed by the company that integrates these technologies into their day-to-day operations.

2020-2021

My role in this timeframe was for Weston Green Bay as an on-premises programmer for creating ASP.NET Core applications that integrated with the SharePoint PAAS. Data migration from Lotus Notes to SQL Server was the main purpose for applying my software engineering skills at this location. The MVC programming pattern was used to manage the various units of these programs with a conventional and hierarchical application-specific approach. This model, along with structured coding techniques, represents the foundation of my daily work criteria. Some of the best OOP patterns I have used to design .NET/ASP.NET Core programs have been the Strategy, Repository, Composite, Dependency Injection, MVC and MVVM patterns. This, along with data binding, Kestrel Self-Hosting, Razor views, and Tag Helpers, helped me to build interactive web applications. The middleware api’s of the ASP.Net Core/MVC namespace have been essential to my program creation process. Usage of route configuration and session state management have been suitable for constructing enterprise-scale, client/server driven applications.

2019

I was the lead programming architect in the database migration project for Weston Green Bay.

My role as the on-premises SharePoint/Azure SQL Server architect helped to extend the SharePoint functionality from the Weston Ltd. Corporate Ohio headquarters to its local Green Bay, WI business process. SharePoint is a web browser-based platform that centralizes all of Microsoft’s essential products, such as, Office, SQL Server, and .Net. I used the SharePoint tools to implement the complete digitization of the Weston Ltd. work environment. This enabled employees and managers alike to access data and applications, which are usually distributed, from one central browser-based portal.

2018

I was the lead software developer for a private contractor affiliated with Freenlancer.com

. This work included the building of a web-based restaurant customer reservation portal. The features of this application enabled clients to store their reservation data on a server that used MariaDB/PHP.

The initial agile phase and planning of the Lotus Notes to SharePoint data migration for Weston Green Bay began in October after the completion of my restaurant application.

2017

When Weston Green Bay made the decision to start integrating the technology of the Microsoft SharePoint platform into their business process, I took the job role as the lead consultant and programmer.

2016

I helped manage the SCADA control systems for Weston Green Bay. My work task included assisting the lead PLC (programmable logic controller) engineer in maintaining the electromechanical machines owned by Weston.

2013-2016

Education

I attended Northeast Wisconsin Technical College from 2013-2016, located in Green Bay, WI. My major there was Software Development. I continued to work for Weston Green Bay while attending college.

2012

Weston Green Bay introduced me to their program for employee college funding. While working there I applied for the college grants and when I got approved, I attended Northeast Wisconsin Technical College the following year for Software Development.

2011

My job duties for Weston Green Bay consisted of the continued management of their SCADA control systems and occasional machine parts assembly.

2010

In my 3rd year at Weston Green Bay, I would accept the job position of SCADA control systems operator where I received on-premises training for HMI communication with sensor devices and machines.

My most current computer network responsibilities have included:

As a Microsoft .Net application developer I’ve worked extensively with Network Administrators to maintain the business intelligence products within the organization. The origins of computer networks from office-to-cloud have evolved to the point where network professionals and computer engineers work together on projects constantly. Within the Azure active directory and Azure DevOps environment, I’ve created .Net applications that flow seamlessly through the Azure repos/Git Source control and agile projects CI/CD pipeline.

My Microsoft SQL Server Database Administration Skills include:

My role in SQL Server administration has consisted of helping SQL Server architects while maintaining my role as a .Net software developer. Modern DevOps solutions have increased in the technology business sector, prompting companies to implement stronger integration between database administrators and computer programmers. With that being said, my contribution in this area has increased with database creating, b-tree/heap table querying, optimization (query plans, indexing, etc.), and table concurrency. I also have experience with SQL Server replication in Azure or on-premises.

Summary

In software development I am fluid with the C# programming language and its companion platforms, ASP.NET Core/MVC, WPF/XAML, LINQ and the Entity Framework. My goal for the customer is to deliver high-quality web and desktop applications that target the Microsoft .Net framework.

My Interest

I grew up in Los Angeles, Ca. and moved to Green Bay, WI in 1995. Being out west I became accustomed to a lot of outdoor activities such as biking, running, and exercising. I found that the trails located in Green Bay provided a great platform for summer activities and I've made it a pastime for a few years. I also like jazz music, movies (genre, comedy, action, etc.), sporting events and programming.

My Work at AFG Description of Diagram Figures

Introduction

I have included this drawn diagram to further describe some of my software engineering jobs while at AFG (AFG’s intellectual property has been omitted, therefore, this diagram will only display the general network operations).

Figure 1.0

This is the model of the network layer where each pc represents a local node that collects information about the agricultural products AFG (American Foods Group) produces. Each pc had a local instance of SQL Server installed on it. This fail-safe measure insured that each pc would maintain its local data in case of a pc or power failure that would prevent the data from moving to the central server. My job was to help create, configure, and maintain the C#/.Net applications on that pc that wrote to the databases installed on the machine.

Figure 2.0

The picture on figure 2.0 represents the AFG plant server that has SQL Server installed on it. The relationship between the local pc and the main plant server is based on the SQL Server Replication model. In this model, the local pc SQL instance publishes its writes, and the plant server instance subscribes to/copies the published tables.

Figure 3.0

When the data gets published from the local machine to the plant server, the SQL replication pipeline continues upward to the off-premises central server (figure 3.0). At this level, my job was to create ASP.Net Core MVC applications (HTML 5, Web API/Rest, and Entity Framework) that collect all the plant SQL Server transactions and present them to web clients.

Figure 4.0

The Figure 4.0 defines the main network storage appliance of the ERP infrastructure. Like most supply chain and demand enterprises, the data collected at this level was used for Data Analytics/Business Intelligence purposes. The third-party software of the Infor Suite was used to process the AFG company data.
