| Software skills: | Database design in several major platforms, Web design, especially with database driven content managment. Business logic programming tailored to most any complex business operation. Focus on ecommerce from marketing, sales, to fullfilment. I am particularly savvy with many business models and solutions.

| Highlights: | Complete development of many ecommerce and business applications using PHP, ASP and Cold Fusion 4.5, 5, and MX for Web access to SQL server, MySQL, and Access databases. Including complex business logic for a complete application. Ecommerce examples are complete sites for AmericanCreditanddebt.com, ARHCP.com, A gate automation company, A custom bicycle tire company, An art distributer, 2 Real Estate brokers, Realestate Investors. Some examples of non-ecommerce are Datawarehouse and Management reporting for a Prosthetics dept in my company. Inventory of Telephones, pagers, and other leased telecom equipment for a Telecom dept in my company. Storage and indexing of medical images for an outpatient clinic. Creating a registry for Fellowship opportunities, and many other complete projects over the past 8 years.
I have similar experience with PHP and mySQL. I love working with osCommerce and oscMAX as a PHP shopping cart engine. I can customize it heavily or just get it going for you in it's native mode. I have years of work with these open source products on Windows and on Linux. I also partner with a hosting company that can provide these resources for hosting your projects. Database design and DBA for Datawarehouse of operational and financial data for 8 hospitals over 3 states. DataWarehousing uses MicroSoft SQL server 2000 which I have had over 6 years of experience using, as well as some old time on 7.0. Complete development of many applications using Borland Delphi programing for Windows executables. Both stand alone applications and clients for client/server applications including database connectivity. This includes development of a middleware RPC broker for a proprietary database that was here to fore unreachable by modern software clients, A utility to automate FTP processes between 8 hospitals, Client to remotely manage PC's in an environment that had thousands of PC on a LAN, An outpatient application for controlling and logging flow of patients thru the facility, and many others over the past 8 years. Dynamic web page development using hand coding of DHTML, JavaScribt, and Dreamweaver. All my projects use Dynamic objects and code to make the sites more usable and more interesting. I generally have done projects using Cold fusion, ASP or PHP, for database connectivity in conjunction with Javascript and DHTML. I also use Microsoft.Net studio and Dreamweaver 8.0 for ASP development. Complete development of hundreds of hospital database applications using M or MUMPS programming language over 20 years experience. MUMPS is an ANSI standard language that many people have never heard of. It is now marketed by Intersystems under the name of Cache`. I have a very broad background in computer programming that is backed by many years of real experience. |
| Work terms: | Definition of Work: Good projects result from good communication and good requirements defined up front in a contract. It doesn't have to be a complex legal document, just a clear understanding of what you want and how much you need. For example: "Build me a web site" is not a good set of requirements. Payment Method: I prefer to conduct transaction through Guru SafePay Escrow system which better ensures both parties’ protection and satisfaction in the unlikely event that a dispute arises. SafePay using Check, E-check, or Wire Transfer Funds is more economical for my bottom line due to fees. Transacting with these Payment Methods is mutually beneficial: I save fees attached to Credit Card and PayPal payments, and YOU earn Loyalty Dollars with Guru. • Communication: I am very available by phone, e-mail, IM, or Skype at most any time from 9am to 9pm East coast USA time. |
