Initial development
under ASP execution
environment
utilizing VB6
backend.
·
Initial server
design, and
administration of
Windows Server 2000
machines.
·
Database backend
work initially
involved Microsoft
SQL Server 2000.
·
Progressively
evolved into
developing managed
source under the
.NET Framework.
·
Backend also evolved
into using Windows
Server 2003 R2;
Databases using
Microsoft SQL Server
2005.
·
Developed a library
framework (Elwoh.Systems.FrameworkPck)
to include common UI
components,
development objects,
licensing,
encryption methods
that I’ve used
before into one
useful library.
·
Today I operate
under Windows Server
2003 R2 and Windows
Server 2008 (non
production, just
testing for now)
with SQL Server 2005
and 2008 utilizing
IIS6 and 7 as the
mainstream web
distribution
service; a bit of
Active Directory (in
its simplest form)
with Exchange Server
2007 for mail server
(also MailEnable,
etc).
·
Today in terms of
development I still
use ASP Native
(VB6), and also use
the latest in
managed .NET
Framework systems
such as ASP.NET, and
windows application

Stevens Chevrolet
Company,
Inc.
7/2008
to 8/2008
Designer /
Developer
o
Designed a website
(graphics, user
interface, etc) for
the car dealership
company.
o
Developed using ASP
and SQL Server 2005
a content management
system to manage
news articles, and a
comprehensive
listing of
vehicles. All was
developed using ASP
(VB6) backend with a
SQL 2005 database.
o
Database consisted
of a Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 database
with multiple
tables, triggers,
relations, and
indices to control
content of news and
vehicle listings.
PGL,
Inc.
6/2007 to 8/2008
Chief
Technical Officer (CTO)
/ Developer /
Database Admin
o
Designed and
developed every
aspect of the PGL,
Inc. online system.
This consisted of an
extensive database,
multiple different
controllers that
were developed, an
extensive and
complex graphical
user interface
ergonomically
optimized, web
development, server
management, etc.
o
Database started as
a Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 server
but then quickly
migrated over to a
Microsoft SQL Server
2005 service. This
database of course
utilized users and
schemas and pretty
much all of the
“usual” things in a
MSSQL2005 DB.
o
I created a
comprehensive backup
solution
(application written
in .NET) that
implemented with SQL
Server to ensure a
complete backup of
the database and all
needed files for our
system.
o
As Chief Technical
Officer I am
responsible for all
aspects of
“technology” within
the company;
including design,
development,
networking, etc. I
manage all of the
game, data, web, and
security servers.
o
This
was a job where I
worked remotely from
home; all of the
projects I’ve had
were projects where
I worked from home.
As you can tell from
the short employment
date, I really don’t
like staying at home
24/7 anymore. It
used to be fine, but
now I want a job
where I go into an
office.
Enterasys
Networks,
Inc.
2/2006
to 8/2008
.NET
Software Developer /
Database Admin
o
Added the ability to
actively and
dynamically filter
based on content
being passed
through; this
involved developing
a proprietary proxy
system using .NET
sockets to filter
content.
o
Re-developed and
designed the backend
architecture of the
system to use
Microsoft SQL Server
2005 (packaged with
Express edition, but
could be pointed to
an enterprise
server). In return
the re-development
involved revising
the database
architecture
completely of how
the tables were laid
out and connected,
and also writing
certain specific
stored procs and
views to eliminate
some of the code
being passed through
the socket into the
service.
o
Developed a remote
device management
system for use with
Enterasys
SmartSwitches. –
(Enterasys Classroom
Control Lite)
o
Management system
allows teachers to
control their
classrooms at their
school by enabling
policies to ensure
that students don’t
stray from their
work; there was a
relatively simple
graphical user
interface design as
well as graphics for
logos, 3D modeling,
etc
o
Implementations of
different protocols
for connection; SSH,
Telnet; with
different encryption
algorithms such as
BlowFish, Diffie
Helman, Triple-DES,
RSA, MD5, SHA5.
In terms of database
design and
development; this
project started out
with a Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 database
with a fairly simple
design of tables
with simple
relations and
indexes. Later
(above) I revised
the system to use
SQL Server 2005 with
all of the bells and
whistles.
Harris
Corporation
(U.S. Census Bureau)
5/2007
to 7/2008
Database /
Server Administrator
o
Responsible for the
management of the
main Network
Operations Center
and Security
Operations Center
for the new
digitally operated
U.S. Census
project. Prepared
for full deployment
in 2009. All work
was remote (nothing
physical at the data
center).
o
This didn’t involve
a lot of
development, but
more so just
management of
existing databases.
I was in with the
management of the
complete server
which just so
happened to have
Microsoft SQL Server
2005 on it. There
were other servers
out there that had
Oracle installed,
but I wasn’t
directly involved
with their
management.
Wickliffe City
Fire
Department
11/2006 to 4/2008
Assistant
Chief / EMT-B
o
Responsible for
operations and
administration, and
leadership of fire
department; funding,
granting, apparatus,
network, computers,
training,
organization, human
resources, public
awareness, etc.
o
In my
eyes even though
this wasn’t directly
technology related
it gave good
experience with
public safety, as
well as interaction
with the community,
not to mention
managing a fire
department (members,
etc).
o
Since this was a
volunteer
department, out of a
need and boredom I
developed two
systems both using
Microsoft SQL Server
2005 as the database
backend. One was a
financial system
that tracked our
budget, income,
expenses,
runs/calls, grants,
etc. Nothing too
complex however.
The second was a
simple system to
track our
firefighters,
apparatus,
maintenance, etc
IMVU Online
Messenger
System
12/2007 to 2/2008
Software
Developer / Database
Admin
o
Developed messenger
credit transfer
system for
Credits4IMV
(involving complete
graphics for
website, user
interface, etc).
o
Integration with MS
SQL 2000, and
Payment API with
PayPal using ASP
Native (VB6).
o
Used a Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 system
(now that I look
back I wish I had
used 2005). This
involved simple
development of a
database to track
users,
subscriptions,
payments, etc.
Archer Systems
(Federal Bureau
of Investigation)
5/2007
to 7/2007
Software
Developer / Graphics
Designer
o
Designed and
developed an FBI
“Lead Tracking
System”. This
involved a larger
design for the user
interface, graphics,
logo, etc.
o
I was not directly
involved with the
database design or
management of this;
I suppose they
already had a
database in place.
We did however have
a list of functions
and views that were
already in place,
while we re-created
these on our
development box to
ensure a seamless
integration.
Wickliffe Rural
Fire
Department
12/2006 to 4/2007
Software
Developer /
Technology
Administrator
o
Designed and
developed a website
with complex
management backend
system for dispatch
tracking, CAD
(Computer Aided
Dispatch)
implementation, and
reporting systems
integrated into
internal apparatus
mobile command and
information docking
units.
o
Utilized Windows
Server 2003, SQL
Server 2000, Dell
Computers, ASP,
ASP.NET, Graphics
Design
o
This project
involved the design
and development of a
Microsoft SQL Server
2000 box with a
fairly simple
database acting as a
content management
system that I
developed, and a way
to track calls/runs
(fires, EMS, etc),
firefighters, and
apparatus.
o
Once
this website was
turned over to the
chief, they
“implemented” their
own user interface
and overall workings
of the system. So
if you happen to go
to Google to look at
this project, don’t
pay attention to how
it looks.
Ballard County
Public School
(Kentucky Department
of Education)
11/2005
to 2/2006
Software
Developer
o
Developed complex
network asset
tracking system for
various nodes (as
computers @ school)
information portal.
o
The network asset
tracking system used
Microsoft SQL Server
2000 as the database
engine to store the
network assets.
Nothing too
complex, just a
simple database with
tables and data.
o
Designed a
management system
for all computers in
the district;
written in VB.NET
and ASP Native.
Graphical user
interface via web
system to display
computers and
metrical data.
Super Computer
International, Inc.
(NVIDIA
Corporation)
11/2005
to 2/2006
Software
Developer
o
Developed extensive
VOIP (Voice over IP)
system for two
different popular
multiplayer PC games
known as
“Battlefield 2”, and
“America’s Army”.
o
Project was written
and implemented in
VB.NET
o
Working with the
America’s Army game
and the
GoAmericasArmy
service, the backend
was SQL Server 2000
on some parts, and
then the dreaded (at
least in my eyes)
MySQL (I just never
have liked MySQL).
J.B. Marketing,
LLC (Mike
Filsaime, Inc.)
10/2004
to 11/2005
Software
Developer / Graphics
Designer / Database
Admin
o
Designed and
developed many
projects such as
Instant Messenger
Web Systems, Web
Browser, and Domain
Management
Solutions.
o
Projects were all
written in ASP.NET,
VB.NET. The
involved a Instant
Messenger Web
System, Web Browser,
Domain Management
System, EBay Search
Tool, etc
o
The backend for this
system used
Microsoft SQL Server
2000 with a fairly
simple, crossed with
moderately complex
and large database
with a few views and
procs. It also used
a web service that
executed secure
commands on the SQL
server for the
client.
SWAT 4 Player
Tracking (VU /
Sierra
Entertainment)
5/2004 to 10/2004
Software
Developer / Database
and Server
Administrator
o
Designed
and developed a
complex tracking
system for servers,
and clients of
SWAT4.
o
The SWAT 4 Player
Tracking System used
a Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 database
engine backend to
store all of the
player data, server
data, game data,
stats, etc. It was
a fairly complex
design for the time
and the place.
o
Contained web
application, and
windows
application. Also
allowing external
Javascript and XML
feeds for other uses
– statistical
exportation.
BeARealtor
Systems, Inc.
11/2003 to 4/2004
Web
Developer / Software
Developer
o
Designed and
developed a very
complex realtor
training and
simulation system.
o
This project
involved ASP Classic
(VB6) as the backend
language.
o
This project
involved a fairly
simple database;
using Microsoft SQL
Server 2000. Just
the simple database,
tables, data, and
relations type
system.
Multiple Clients
(Exhedra
Solutions, Inc.)
11/2002 to 11/2003
Software
Developer / Graphics
Designer / Database
Admin
o
Small,
and large contract
projects with the
“rent-a-coder”
system.
o
Projects involved
comprehensive
planning of complex
user interface
designs and
graphics.
o
Projects involved
ASP, ASP.NET, VB.NET,
W2K3 Server, SQL
2000, etc
o
These were various
projects, mostly all
of which involved
the use of Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 as a
backend. They were
all pretty much
“simple” I suppose.
Ballard County
Public School
(Kentucky Department
of Education)
6/2002 to 10/2002
Web
Developer / Software
Developer
o
Developed and
designed a complex
intranet system, and
administration
portal.
o
This project used a
Microsoft SQL Server
2000 backend for the
database engine.
Nothing too complex,
just the general
database, tables and
data. I don’t
believe any views or
procs were used.
This was before I
had a good
understanding of SQL
and it’s workings.
o
I also
built and configured
the custom Windows
Server 2003 Machine
as the database and
IIS server.
Elwoh Software
(D/B/A – My
Company)
1/2000 to 5/2002
Software
Developer / Graphics
Designer
o
During
this time-frame
other projects
(contracts) were
obtained and
completed. All
dealing with web
design, graphics,
server/database
design and
administration.
Mostly simple
things.
o
Designed intensive
Graphics User
Interfaces for Web
and Windows
Applications.
o
Developed many
projects, one of
which being a
complex database
management system
that integrates
within Microsoft SQL
Server 2000, or MSDE;
with add-in also
developed named “SmartBackup”,
the power of
database backups is
easily accessible
and configurable.
o
This was a long time
ago, but as it says
above I developed a
system called “Elwoh
SmartBackup” which
can probably be
found on Google. It
pretty much did was
SQL Server 2005 does
today. It took a
snapshot of the
data, and
periodically
compared it to a
live snapshot; if a
certain percentage
of data had changed
(or any data if you
choose) it would
issue a
“SmartBackup” using
the Elwoh System.
This wasn’t really
complex, or done for
money. It was just
me being bored and
wanting to “mess”
around with SQL. It
was originally
written for SQL
Server 2000, so I’m
not sure if it will
work well with SQL
Server 2005 – I
haven’t done
anything with it in
a few years.

To obtain a job
where I may utilize
my various
development,
high-level
management, graphics
design, and
leadership skills;
and become a
valuable asset to
the company in the
Informational
Technology field.
I have done many
sub-contracted
projects, for a
variety of different
companies around the
United States;
project complexity
ranging from small
minute and simple,
to large and
strenuous complex
development / design
multi-phased
projects.
All development is
done in Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005
in VB.NET, or
natively using ASP,
or ASP.NET. Backend
development usually
done with Microsoft
SQL Server 2000, or
MSDE (subsidiary of
MSSQL), while
graphics design
phases are done
within Microsoft
PhotoDraw (old
application, but
very powerful).
Many administrative
oriented projects
and jobs were also
contracted /
obtained; all of
which dealt with
Microsoft products,
whether it be
managing multiple
servers of Microsoft
Windows Server 2000,
and 2003 with
multiple custom, and
Microsoft software
such as Microsoft
SQL Server 2000, and
2005, Server
Management
Solutions, ISA, IIS,
Exchange Server,
etc.
I enjoy projects
where extensive
planning is needed
in the begging to
streamline the
entire development
project, and then
jumping into the
development and
designing phases
where graphics
design, and
programming is done
to compile a final
render of the
project. I also
enjoy straight
management oriented
duties, where
constant management
of network assets,
or management of a
development team are
all placed and
dependent upon
myself.
Striving towards
making a perfect
solution in the end
is my overall goal;
whether the project
be small, or large –
learning new things,
and watching the
project progress
through development
to deployment is an
awesome experience
in itself.
Chief Technical Officer, Application Developer, Database Administrator, and Project Manager in a wide variety of business applications. Particularly interested in client/server and relational database design using MS-SQL Server. Always interested in migration, security, design, and development projects as well as network oriented management and design projects.
Anything that deals with technology, networking, security, software development and graphics design -- I'm in.
My Goals are simple; they are to succeed in life at general and do the best I can at everything I am involved in.
-
In 2 years I want to be settled into a position at a company, as opposed to
continuing to do "contract projects". I want to work my way up to and/or obtain a management position comparable to my "CTO" position I acquired.
-
In 5 years I want to continue to be settled into the position listed above with whatever "mystery" company finds me, or that I find. During this time period I also want to possibly get married and buy a house of my own, etc.
-
In 10 years I want to be doing the same thing at the same company while taking care of my family and seeing the retirement and savings grow by saving my money.
-
In 15+ years... you get the point.
I enjoy technology, network, software design and development, and graphics design; if there is one type of software I really enjoy developing it would be enterprise oriented software designed to make management and development of a business network, or business in general easier.
I also enjoy healthcare industry type projects; pretty much anything dealing with technology, computers, networks, etc.
