PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
-
I currently serve as a Technical Lead on the Automated Frequency Manager (AFM) project for the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). This system, which manages all frequencies granted by FAA nationwide, is
developed using Visual Basic 6.0, COM+ and the ESRI MapObject and communicates with an Oracle 9i database
via stored procedures. Upon its full deployment, it will be converted to a Microsoft.NET system soon
after. (SAIC)
-
I served as a Sr. Software Developer on the iPost project for the
Department of State / IRM. This web-based system, which also complied with
Section 508 of ADA, consisted of a portal that contained a digital dashboard
and several types of graphs and charts describing the data collected from various
systems located at DoS posts worldwide. The data was displayed in both graphical and
tabular formats. The system was built on a Win2003 and IIS 6.0 platform and stored the
data in a SQL Server 2000 database. The communication between the forms and the database
was done via stored procedures. The technologies and tools used in this system consisted of
Visual Studio.NET, VB.NET, ASP.NET, XML, XSL, XSLT, SQL Server 2000, GDI+ and
DotNetCharting graphs. (Intercomfed)

branches, etc.) worldwide. The database, which was based on an existing
16-bit Superbase application, wa developed using MS Visual Basic 5.0 with
an MS Access 97 database. When completed, this database was to installed
on laptop computers for the DoS evaluators to use onsite to evaluate the
computer security issues at various posts. After each site evaluation is
completed, a detailed report would be generated by the system describing
the observations and recommendations made by the evaluation team. This
project was completed in mid-June 1998. (I.M.S.I.)
-
I served as a Team Leader in charge of a team of developers

of a security database for another USAF client. This database, which already
existed in Superbase 2.0, was redesigned using ERWin 2.0 and converted
into an MS Access 2.0 database. The database was fully tested and implemented
in early 1997. Details of this database involve proprietary information.
(Anser)
-
A smaller database that I designed and developed for the
USAF is used to track information pertaining to the nomination of new board
members. The database contains personal information such as scientific
specialty, education, employer and geographical location for all current
members and those individuals proposed for nomination. Information such
as SAB committee affiliation and length of service with the SAB was also
tracked. This database, which was developed using MS Access 2.0, was in
full implementation within SAB, was comprised of approximately 50 screens and allowed
the user to run and create reports based on standardized queries. (Anser)
