Over fifteen years experience designing and coding commercial ISV applications. Design experience includes business analysis, architecture design and production of complete functional and technical documentation. Languages include: C#, VB.NET, VB6 and RPGIII.
Toptech Systems Inc., Longwood Florida January 2007 – Present
Senior Software Engineer
Designed and coded Windows applications and components for terminal automation systems. These commercial database products used mySQL5 DBMS.
· Designed and coded .NET 2.0 applications and components using C#.
· Designed and documented Entity Relationships for new database requirements.
· Designed and coded standard utilities to increase product quality and programmer productivity.
Major Accomplishments:
· Envisioned, designed and implemented a data dictionary based on system wide data points.
· Designed and implemented the maintenance screens and background processing for handling the data point meta-data. This system was used to implement system level multi-language capability, user defined required fields, field level security, new record defaults and to manage help text indexes.
· Designed and implemented a Data Access Layer (DAL) that separated data access from the application business logic. Several of the unique features of this DAL were: support for configurable queried columns and configurable list columns in the user interface. The user could dynamically control which data columns appeared in the list and their order. Column configuration supported queried, hidden and calculated columns.
· Conceptualized, designed and implemented a meta-data driven Entity Relationship editor that was used to generate ER documentation, generate custom DAL code using external templates and generate database Data Definition Language and DAL stored procedures.
· Designed and coded a significant portion of the new client application user interface that utilized the new DAL and data point processing features.
Fiserv Lending Solutions, Orlando Florida July 2000 – January 2007
Lead Software Analyst

· Wrote complete 130-page user interface design for the Clinical Manager product, which included the design for all maintenance windows and dialogs with complete functional descriptions.
· Designed and coded common data access COM components, which significantly reduced the development requirements for implementing n-tier, MTS data access using ADO. Also designed and coded a VB add-in using SQL-DMO, which generated functionally complete class modules for type safe data access.
· Designed and coded a powerful build utility, which utilized the Visual Studio object model SourceSafe object model and VB6 command line to completely automate the configuration management build processes. This utility tracked, analyzed and built COM dependencies to any level to detect and prevent GUID incompatibilities.
