Career Summary.
This is all a little out of date now. Since 2001, I have continued to work as a website programmer. My focus now
is in Ruby on Rails.

automated some reporting. Migrated the code to a new design, navigation and hosting environment. Built a secure
transfer of login details to their externally hosted BigBridge accounting system.
- Colgate: re-wrote the proposal as the workflow was unnecessarily complicated, had a number of places where human
error was likely to occur, and left the web system with out-of-date data. My proposal improved on all these points
and reduced development effort.
- Thrifty: provided time estimates; was the sole developer on the project which came in on time and budget;

- Primarily responsible for the architecture and development of a project to provide a web interface to CCK's
Treasury Risk Management software.
- I developed a Session object to be used in place of the standard one, that had the same interface but
stored the state in a database so it could work across multiple servers.
- Used XML and XSL on the client's browser to reduce the load on the web server when examining reports from
the Analysis and Reporting System. Also helped develop a WAP (WML) interface.
