(3/97 - 7/10) SENIOR PROGRAMMER/WEB DEVELOPER
* Responsible for designing, testing, documenting, implementing web and client
server applications.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
* Instrumental in the development of the company's standard product. The
standard product is a print
shop management system that consists of modules for order entry, document
management, statusing,
billing and inventory management. The two main components are the document
repository of printable
PDF files and a database to store information. The greatest benefit from the
system is that the print
definition (paper size, color, type, etc) is stored in the database and the
document is printed the same no
matter where the document printed - thus, print on demand. This product
continues to grow as client
needs arise.
* Converted our web-based asp application to asp.net. This application allows
the creation of PDF files
with variable data and variable images. The product is implemented for the
creation of advertising
products that can be sent back to the users or mailed to potential customers
from the user's custom
mailing list. This application also interfaces with Payflow payment processing
for credit card payments,
the USPS CASS system for certifying uploaded addresses and UPS for tracking
shipments.
* Account manager for the IRS National Distribution Center in Bloomington,
Illinois. The IRS product
contains all prior year IRS documents for printing. Created applications to
translate order files from a
legacy mainframe system into our standard product automatically, along with any
new documents that
need to be added to the system. The system is used to fulfill web site and
phone orders for any prior
year IRS documents. As the order is printed, the system generates a packing
slip that also contains the
client shipping information. The order can then be taken directly from the
printer, inserted in windowed
envelope and placed in the mail.
