| EXPERIENCE: |
| Global Visa Solutions (GVS) |
| Title/Time: |
Senior System Engineer (August 2002 to Present) |
| Description: |
World-wide coordinator of visas and work permits. I also simultaneously worked for GVS' sister company: HirsonWexlerPerl (HWP). HWP is the nation's second-largest U.S. immigration law firm. |

My main task was to plan and develop the company's new case tracking software from scratch. I did this and
successfully migrated thousands of users from the old case tracking system (using multiple, non-related Access
databases) to the new version. This system and the other software I developed made extensive use of Active Server
Pages, MS SQL Server 2000 (including Stored Procedures, Triggers, Views,
User-Defined Functions, and Scheduled Jobs) and also Visual Basic 6 for stand-alone
applications and custom COM objects which made use of XML/XSL, SOAP, and ADO/ODBC to
MS SQL Server 2000. The case tracker system is web-based and is used by foreign
nationals/assignees, paralegals, attorneys, and the HR personnel employed by our clients. It manages many
thousands of users. Development of this system was a huge project, to say the least, and employed many features
entirely too numerous to list here. I also installed and configured our Checkpoint NG firewall and the network
it protected. In our LAN, I installed and maintained Microsoft Small Business Server (including,
Windows 2000 Server, Exchange 2000, ISA Server, RAS/VPN, DNS, and Active Directory).

| Professional Resource Screening, Inc. (now owned by First Advantage Corporation) |
| Title/Time: |
Senior System Engineer (June 2001 to July 2002) |
| Description: |
Pre-employment screening company for many companies, including many fortune-500 companies. |
|
|
Planned/developed new software and maintained existing software used for pre-employment screening. The
systems I developed made extensive use of Active Server Pages and also Visual Basic 6 for stand-alone
applications and custom COM objects, which were used for a variety of applications including XML/XSL,
SOAP, and ADO/ODBC to MS SQL Server 7. Customers transmitted XML orders via HTTPS that
conformed to the DTD specifications I created or via our IIS website which I also helped to
develop/maintain. One feature (of many) of the software I developed was the "instant credit" system that build
credit and social security reports by communicating directly with TransUnion via the MERiT credit engine,
converting the inbound data into XML, and transforming it into custom reports with XSL. This
particular process relied heavily on a Microsoft Message Queue system. I also played a major role in
the development and maintenance of our SQL database using Triggers and Stored Procedures,
which directly accessed my COM objects in addition to performing data mining tasks for custom reports. I
also performed basic management of our Cisco router and firewall and successfully and seamlessly
transitioned our office to a new class-C IP address space.

| SUMMARY: |
As a professional in this industry, I have proven my abilities in many aspects of the internet from building
servers, to creating high-quality designs, layouts, and "intelligent", data-driven websites and software, to
designing a local area network and security schema from the ground up. My strong, real-world experience and
perpetual quest for new knowledge keeps my designs and software fresh and innovative. Programming for the
previous thirteen years has given me the ability to create highly complex websites and software and also
resulted in my learning to create efficient user-interfaces (web and application based) which are easy to
understand and navigate despite underlying complexity.
