ECommerce Web Site Development.
Designed and implemented a b2b e-commerce website for White-Rodgers, a large St. Louis based manufacturing company. The application included reports, user management, authentication, shopping carts and catalog management. I brought to the team experience in object oriented design, SQL, JSP, JDBC, Oracle, Apache, and IBM WebSphere.
Helped finish a b2b portal/e-commerce website for Opti-Port Inc, a division of Crown Optical. I used my experience in previous engagements to bring the project, which was over budget and behind schedule, to an end. With this project I gained experience in debugging java applications on Solaris, and finishing programming tasks where other developers had failed or left. SQL, JSP, JDBC, Apache Tomcat.
Client Training / Prototype Development.
Delivered technical help and training through marchFIRST to UniGroup, a St. Louis based shipping company. Training was delivered in the areas of Java development and programming for the Internet.
My experience in Servlets, JDBC, JSP, and pooling algorithms helped move an idea to production.
API Design.
Developed for marchFIRST an API in Java to be layered across different ECommerce architectures. A generic set of interfaces were designed, and three implementations were built that sat atop IBM's CommerceSuite, a custom MySQL catalog, and a XML catalog. Presentation was done via JSP's which linked only against the interfaces.
Technologies used were Java, JDBC, JSP, Oracle, IBM Commerce Suite, MySQL, XML.

Single Sign On (SSO) Initiative.
Lead programmer of a small team which designed and implemented a campus wide move to a Single Sign On (SSO) environment. A single id/password combination was given to a user to access Microsoft Exchange mailboxes, Unix workstations, Netware logins, dial-up access, and Kerberos authentication among other things.
Created a multi-user "Single Point of Administration" with multiple tiers to update, create, delete, and manage over 100,000 user accounts. Since the initial creation of the application, many more computing environments have been easily added to the system because of the plugin-like architecture that I had designed.
A broad background with multiple environments, languages, and a strong sense of pride in my work helped to make the project a success.
Programming was done with Java, JDBC, Servlets, Oracle, Kerberos, Radius, Perl, C, C++, Apache and Apache JServ.
Computing Help Desk Knowledgebase.
Creation of a public computing knowledgebase to help augment the University's help desk. Articles were submitted, updated and published from a single web application. Reports, polls, and statistics were generated to help measure success. Authentication and authorization was tied into the University's (SSO) environment.
The knowledgebase was programmed using Java Servlets, JDBC, Oracle, and Radius authentication.
Perl CGI Scripting Support
As part of my job, I helped out people and departments with programming in Perl and writing CGI scripts. Programming ranged from connecting to various databases via Perl DBI, to creating counter scripts, email cgi's, and email applications.
