Hewlett Packard (1997~present): Specifying, designing, and developing a webbased system for Hewlett Packard Corvallis site. One major project involved creating a web-based system that managed a newly established
division’s main operations and used SQL Server 2008/2012, C#, several
third part web components, MS reporting services, and EDI. My responsibilities include design and architecture the infrastructure of the system, design and recommend security measures, design and participate
in the implementations of few main components. Currently participate in
a multi-million dollar project with tasks as an expert in rule base systems. The project is a typical enterprise level software project that covers
many state of art technologies such as continuous integrations, deployment on the Cloud, Agile software development methodology, and messaging.
Microsoft: Developed and presented a serious of topics regarding Web services
to the graduate school of Beijing University, School of Software Engi-
neering. A textbook (in Chinese) based on my presented is under preparation by professors of Beijing University, school of software engineering.
Andersen Consulting (through FOA): Database converting involving ADO,
DAO, VB, dynamic table linking, dynamic data mapping and dynamic
table manipulations.
Sybase (through FOA): Database training material development involving
XML, XQL, Java, JDBC, EJB, EDI, data storage applications, and DBMS.
Shared Communications/ATG: Designed and participated in the development
of a web based commissions calculation system. The system involving
Visual Basic 6.0, MS SQL Server 6.5, NT server 4.0, IIS 4.0, ASP Object,
VBScript, ActiveX components, MTS, and Crystal Report. Initiated two
projects: product catalog and data mart for billing.
Oregon State Board of Tax Examiners (through ITACNet): Debug, maintain,
and enhance a MDI Client/Server application that maintains and processes the board’s daily operations. The system involves Visual Basic
5.0, VB5 Objects, APEX True DBGrid, and Crystal Report 6.0.
Washington State courts administration: General consulting on a scheduling system.
