Objective To further my career as an Ebusiness Technical Architect
Experience 19902004 Consultant Various Consultancies
Ebusiness Technical Architect (Paramount Software / Exceptiona)
Jul 03 Current
Please Note For the past 3.5 years, I have been working from home on various
technical projects while pregnant and while my children were young. My son is
now 3 years old and my daughter is now 18 mths old, and they go to PreSchool
twice per week (Tues and Friday) already, and can switch to full time whenever
that becomes necessary.
Various Mini Projects as eBarster/Exceptiona/self-employed:
CTO and President of eBarster.com. I came up with the concept of using eBars
to make money using the eBay Partner Network. I developed the code using the
eBay API, asp, javascript and XML. I also created the eBarster website, did all
the business development and marketing, SEO, etc. It now needs very little
maintenance and is self-perpetuating as more clients use eBars, more new
clients find out about eBars and they use it too!
Creator, developer and organizer of online communities the most successful
of which is MariettaMoms (150 members, we have a meetup every day a playdate,
museum trip, moms night out, etc.) I developed the website MariettaMoms.com
including forums, chatroom, online playroom for kids, various yahoo groups, and
classified ads etc. Then I added on a password controlled back-end using
ning.com (http://mariettamoms.ning.com ) which I have integrated with google
gadgets/orkut, facebook, myspace, slide.com, flickr and many rss feeds etc.
Also, MariettaObamaMommas, which is a site I have used to encourage moms to take
an interest in politics I have run some events (a convention watch party, a
moms breakfast), have canvassed via telephone calls and door to door campaigns,
and have drawn together useful sites and info for moms to use in making a
decision. Also eBusinessMistress which is going to be a site I use to pass on
information about SEO skills and ideas for saving/making money on the web.
CTO of Corbonzo.com, a website for Real Estate Agents, Investors etc. My role
was to plan, design and build (in a very short amount of time) a technical
architecture for the original site which would cost little money up front but
with a plan for going forward that would make it easy to migrate later to the
ideal platform. The original site would be used to encourage investors to
invest in the business. Once investment was obtained the site would be moved to
a more optimal technical architecture. For example, the original site is written
with Access but the SQL used is Ansi Standard for easy porting to SQL Server at a
later date. The site creates a sticky community made up of RSS feeds,
podcasts, videos, blogs and article submissions for signed up members. It also
allows members to create their own web pages for advertising purposes. I am
pleased to announce that we obtained our investment capital on 11th January 2007,
so the next architectural phase is currently in the development stage. (ASP,
Javascript, Access, RSS, XML going to ASP.net, SQL Server)
Developer of BodyWisdomBirthing.com - Currently developing a website using ASP
and Access for BodyWisdomBirthing.com you can view it at
http://www.bodywisdombirthing.com (ASP, Javascript, Access)
Website Manager for Mothers And More East Cobb
(http://mmeastcobb.homestead.com/) My role is to keep the website up to date,
posting information about future events, meetings etc. (Homestead Sitebuilder,
HTML)
Leader of the Stay At Home Moms Group on Meetup.com
(http://sahm.meetup.com/1861/) - My role was to organize and attend events aimed
at Moms with young children, to post events to the website and to keep the
community feeling going by regular contact with members via the message board,
emails, phone calls and face to face meetings.
