employment
Sep '07 - Present, Edge Motorsports, Technical Specialist Edge Motorsports is a motorsports entertainment company which is growing quickly. I provide the company with all their website related design, development, and testing. On occastion I will also provide print media design for advertising and I am the technical advisor and sound engineer at many of their live events. The wide variety of responsibilities this position gives me and the ability to travel around the world makes this job both interesting and very rewarding.
Mar '04 - Aug '07, ThinData, Senior Application Developer This position began with general web site work including content management development/customization and has since evolved into a custom application design and development role. Microsoft .NET (C#) and SQL Server are the primary technologies utilized in this position. Requirements analysis and project design/architecture now occupies a large part in this role. Major clients include Air Canada, BMO, TSN, and Delta Hotels.
Jul '03 - Feb '04, Self-Employed Programmer & Web Designer I have been designing and developing sites for the web for many years and decided to take some time and investigate the world of self-employment. It has been great to experience the difference in the nature of challenges encountered while working for yourself. This time has also offered me an opportunity to reacquaint myself with ASP, become familiar with SQL Server, as well as to start looking into the emerging Microsoft .NET world.
Jun '01 - Jun '03, BCE Emergis, Programmer/Analyst This position began with some Business Analyst type work, followed by the maintenance of a legacy VB application on an Oracle back-end. It continued with a Java rewrite (analysis/design/development) of a day-end process on an Oracle back-end in a team environment. This day-end process was responsible for paying health claims for several major Canadian insurance companies. My Java, J2EE, Struts, Oracle, and PL/SQL skills were strengthened by this position. In addition, constant interaction with the customer has afforded me with an understanding that good communication skills are indispensable in maximizing productivity.
May '00 - Dec '00, Nortel Networks, Software Verification and Validation Development and execution of a test plan for Meridian MAX 10 (M1 switch) was my primary objective in this team-based position. The MAX 10 software was responsible for both real-time monitoring and reporting on telephone call centers. Daily interaction with software designers also strengthened my understanding and appreciation for software engineering, testing, and the PRS Process.
May '99 - Aug '99, Nortel Networks, Database Administration and Development Administration of various database applications was the main focus of this technical position. My programming skills were challenged by learning ASP, Javascript, and VBScript in order that I could create two web-based tools to be used by the company - one for tracking and discussing Problem Reports and their action items and another for reporting on progress between team leads and their managers.
