Real Computing Investors Corp., Annapolis, MD           Aug 1999 - Nov 2000

Director / Manager of Internet Solutions Development

 

Director / Manager of Internet Solutions Development

 

·                           Upon joining this start-up Custom Web Development and ERP / CRM Custom Development company, I took the technical leadership of the company by utilizing my time proven knowledge of Full Life Cycle Development and Team Building.

 

·                           Management responsibilities also included writing technical specifications, proposals /estimates, managing a $500,000 budget and serving as Enterprise Solutions Architect. One of my proposals / estimates resulting in Real Computing receiving a $2 million dollar contract to develop a portal / community web site for senior citizens.

 

·   $500,000 annual budget management

·   Built a 10 person Development Team

·   $5+ Million in Business Development

 

·                           Understanding that the success of the company lies with the strength of the development team, I took on the role of hiring manager being responsible for all of the recruiting, reviewing on average 20 resumes a day for key technical team positions, I personally interviewed over 100 candidates evaluating their technical and team skills. Additionally, I developed and administered both verbal and written technical skills tests. These interviews resulted in the addition of 4 new development team members.

·                           As Enterprise Solutions Architect, used vast systems knowledge to architect dynamic data Web sites using all Microsoft Back Office (IIS, MTS, SQL Server, Message Queue Server) and Visual Studio development suites (Visual Basic 6.0, Visual J++, Visual C++ , ASP, ActiveX DLL, ADO, DHTML, JavaScript) The antique doll auction and E-Commerce site that I architected, developed, and managed resulted in over $ 1 million dollars in annual sales and a 100 % ROI in less than 3 months. 

 

Real Computing Investors Corp. Projects:

 

http://www.theriaults.com

·                           Development of 3 web sites for Theriault’s the world leading authority in antique doll collecting and auctions. Two of the sites are auction web sites with www.Ten2Go.com being the Ebay of doll collection providing user-to-user auction and with Theriault’s Avant Auctions (http://www.theriaults.com/AucIndex.asp?AucType=Avant ) being a dealer-to-public auction. The third site http://www.theriaults.com is Theriault’s home site providing world leading authoritative information on doll collecting. These web sites utilized a Visual Basic 6.0 ActiveX DLL referencing the Microsoft Active Server Page Library to encapsulate all of the core auction, e-card, and site functionality within a single DLL.  This approach offers the advantage of using object oriented programming in combination with standard ASP programming from within the robust Visual Basic RAD environment which offers full debugging and error handling, with the additional advantage of leveraging both third party and custom COM toolkits.  For example, our auction DLL utilized a third party Email component to handle all email functionality of the sites, such as notifying the winners of auctions. This project is hosted on a Microsoft IIS 4 with a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 back end. Served as Project Architect, Manager, and Senior Developer / SQL DBA for this project with the aid of other intermediate VB/Web developers. However, the clients insisted against advice, to serve as their own graphic artist using full color JPEG to design the navigation. Hence the slowness of the sites.

 

HealthServ

·                           This project consisted of developing an accounting financials package to provide outsource Practice Management Services such as payroll, billing and human resource for small medical practices of 1 to 10 doctors or dentist. The solution required creating a remote data entry Visual Basic client that would connect to the HealthServ client/server accounting system. The requirement also dictated by nature of the HealthServ clientele that the remote data be able to be transmitted over an intermittent internet connection while ensuring all of the remote data’s transmission. Additionally, budget and hardware restrictions prevented the use of Microsoft SQL Server replication from the HealthServ corporate application. As Project Manager and Architect, my solution to the project’s problems was to implement disconnected messaging via the asynchronous communication services of Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) and using the runtime SQL Server

engine provided by Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) in the Access 2000 SDK to create a remote Visual Basic client that performs 100% fault tolerant encrypted data replication via intermittent connectivity.  The object oriented Visual Basic 6.0 programming of this solution allows for it to be used to replicate any database and to provide disparate system communications with such legacy systems as an AS400.

 

Monitor International

·                           As Project Manager and developer, created a prototype web site for an environmental group known as Monitor International. The web site serves as dynamic database driven knowledge base site for the endangered species of the greater Caribbean Sea.
