Other - Other programming languages including Basic, Business Basic, Visual Basic, DataFlex, Pascal, DBase, FoxPro, Assembler and more.

With 20 years in software development I have seen a lot of languages and tools come and go. At the time some of them were very good choices for the job that needed doing, Others were chosen for reasons that had nothing to do with the project.

• This software company wanted to upgrade an Order fulfillment system that they had been selling for 10 years. The old system did not scale to larger companies, they wanted a system that would meet the needs of the largest of their customers. I met with each of the three largest customers to learn what they needed, I designed and built a replacement system that had many new features, including user configurable order processing, special items handling, user configurable screens user configurable printing, warehouse location management, routed order picking and intelligent batch processing that increased system salability by a factor of 5. I also added call center integration that would display the callers account from the ANI telephone number identification. Finally with the new web e-commerce, the system had configurable interfaces to allow easy integration with the e-commerce web servers that were also taking orders.
• This software company had built a number of custom application for collection lawyers and wanted to produce a general purpose credit card and installment loan collection system and a bankruptcy processing system for credit issuers. I designed a user configurable state based processing system that queued work for each account depending on it's current state. This system also interfaced with auto dialer systems to improve the collectors collection rates. This system had programmable host interfaces to allow easy connection to the host systems.
• This education company wanted and automated finance and registration system for it's 28 remote offices, additionally, they wanted it to transmit the information back to the main office at the end of the week. They had a system that they had been working on for two years that was not working. I redesigned and re-implemented parts of the system to bring it up to date. Within six months they were fully operational.
• This energy management company wanted to have a programmable system to manage their customers buildings. They had been using proprietary controllers with limited capabilities. I designed and built a DOS based real-time system that did everything the proprietary controllers and added better scheduling, holiday schedules, telephone voice response and remote access from a second computer.
