PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
September 2000-December 2001
CONTRACT PROGRAMMER FOR Energy company
All of the projects at Energy company required research, detailed planning, customer approval and involvement with the customer, and assistance in developing test procedures.
Market Mechanics Project - I was responsible for the system architecture for this project. Several UNIX servers were employed. I was responsible for overseeing the server configuration which included space allocaion, user id's and permissions for different groups. Three environments were created - one for development, testing and production. Additionally, I designed the formal software specifications and wrote Perl & UNIX shell scripts on which would encrypt, decrypt & transfer files on the web. The files were transferred via ftp. PGP Encryption software was employed for file encryption/decryption. Automatic emails were generated in the event of server/system/internet error. These scripts ran on redundant UNIX servers. & were automatically triggered by an Autosys scheduler.
Market Mechanics Failover server project - Designed the software specifications and wrote the software required for a redundant server for data transmission. This was required because the servers resided in separate locations utilizing different internet service providers.
Internet Billing Project - This project was similar to the aforementioned Market Mechanics project. However, these scripts resided on an NT and performed a few additional tasks which include the import & export of data to & from an Oracle database, and the parsing & restructuring of an XML file.
Designed the software specifications and developed VBScript Code for MS Outlook/Exchange server that incorporates MAPI, ActiveX and OLE DB technologies, with MS Access as a backend database. Some HTML was used as well. Visual Interdev was utilized for debugging purposes. This application utilized the custom modified form pages in Outlook and the user created fields for issues and assumptions tracking application. The exchange server is effectively used as a database that maintains the fields associated with the issues. Time and event driven email notifications are sent to various users that contain hyperlinks to the issues. MS Word document letters are also attached to the emails. These Word document letters are automatically created from the user-defined fields through ActiveX controls and attached to the emails as a MAPI object. The hyperlink directs the user to the issue, which is in an outlook public folder. The outlook address book provides the business address of the letter addressee using MAPI technology. The reports for this application were originally written in Access and run from Outlook through ActiveX controls. I am currently developing an interface to run the Crystal reports on a web server as well as several prototype reports. The Access backend database tables will be dropped once this interface is complete, although a few tables are still maintained for various reasons.
