o Took the initiative to create an ORM utility to interactively recreate the
Database Entity Structure in a C# Class file to save on development time.
Entity structures could be tables or stored procedures so this utility had to
allow for dynamic selection of table fields.
o Separated the Entity structure from the Logic and used Data Contracts on
the Web Services as a best practice and for the eventual move to WCF
Services.

Network Support, Technical Support, Visual Basic Programmer
Designed and developed the Technician Tracker application.

Decided that the current method of tracking technicians for support desk
personnel was inefficient and designed a networked version of the paper work
that was used to track technical support staff progress and job assignment. This
system allowed technicians to actively edit the list and displayed real time results
to support staff allowing them to assign jobs based on current work status. Help
desk manager immediately implemented this system once it was demonstrated.
