Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a software developer with over 20 years of experience developing complex SQL databases,
manipulate SQL relational databases and develop high quality applications in a .NET environment. I
have been working as a consultant for Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and
Microsoft.
At Microsoft I worked on context sensitive help for Azure, MSDN Content Management System, CLIX,
database development and a POC video browser for Bing on the iPad. The Azure project required
developing a JavaScript plug-in interface to provide context sensitive help that was integrated into the
Azure web interface. The CLIX database work involved SQL database management and T4 template
generation of SQL code. The Bing project involved reactive JavaScript programming using JQuery,
Knockout, AJAX, and Rest services.
At WSDOT I architected and implemented leading edge bridge inventory SQL database, inspection,
maintenance and scheduling system using Occasionally Connected Smart Clients utilizing business
object replication. This system integrated many technologies, including WPF, WCF, WSDL, XAML,
WinForm, WCF, T-SQL, SQL Server, Entity Framework, Visual Studio, C#, VB.NET, ASP, ASP.NET,
MVC, CSS, dependency injection, Java, JavaScript, JSON, jQuery, XML and XSLT. I have work on
many platforms that include Windows, Windows Server, Azure, Unix, IBM MVS/VM, and VxWorks.
Other work has include embedded systems for consumer products, expert systems using rules base
language such a Prolog, discrete simulations of transportation systems and structural engineering
computation systems.
Willing to relocate throughout the US in order to best suit your needs, I am enclosing my resume, which
contains more detailed information on my professional history. Please review it and contact me at your
earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
