Minor experience in Flash/Shockwave ASP C++ and ColdFusion.   Resume: Retalix (formerly RCS Technologies), Warrendale, Pennsylvania Position: Senior Developer/Assistant Network Administrator 12-01-96 to Present I am currently one of four lead developers for a nationwide POS system that is running in more than 2800 Grocery Retailers. NCR Scanmaster runs on a variety of platforms from Microsoft Windows 98 to Microsoft Windows XP. Originally written using Visual Basic 3.0, and QuickBasic for DOS. The software currently uses Pervasive SQL 2000i as the Database Engine. BTRIEVE is the primary method of data storage, but recently we moved into SQL and Crystal Reports for reporting. In the past we converted the entire project from Visual Basic 3 code to Visual Basic 6, this included creating custom controls, combining often used functions into recycled DLL&'s, and major feature implementation. I am currently one of three developers that work on the Back Office portion of the software (There are over 150 applications to maintain). Another of my primary roles is to convert existing customer data (no matter the source) to our database format. This is accomplished in many different ways including (but not limited to Data Pumping, Custom Programming, Access Database Import/Manipulation/Export, etc...). Many of the original conversions were written in QuickBasic and I have since converted most of them to Visual Basic 6. Other products our company deals with allows me to gain experience in SQL using Microsoft SQL Server v7.0 and SQL 2000, ASP development, Client/Server technologies, and ActiveX Servers and Controls. Another of my tasks is in a Network Administrator role. I am the Assistant to the Network Administrator and was instrumental in the rollout of the corporate network schema in the USA. A lot of my previous experience was used to guide the design and setup of our branch of the corporate WAN. This included subnets within our branch to segment the WAN from our Lab environment, using Linux as a data monitor/gateway to the Lab Segment, etc...
