Technician/Programmer

Join organization as contractor to service and repair IBM compatibles. In December of 1995, I was brought on as a full time employee. I quickly progressed through the organization, demonstrating strong technical skills and a knack for developing innovative solutions. I developed a middle-ware for a client to facilitate communications between an RS/6000 running AIX 3.0 and two electronic scales in Visual BASIC for DOS. The middle-ware acted as a translator, converting the billing information from the scales and presenting it in a format the accounting software could read.

I used my database development skills in Paradox for Windows and ObjectPAL to build a full scale, multi-user point of sale system for a reseller of postal uniforms.

The Prairie Browser implements a form of "live query" on the data and prints a report on the data for billing and invoicing information.
