INDUSTRIAL ACCEPTANCE CORP. 10/2010 – PRESENT
Senior applications developer. Re-wrote 30 year old COBOL subprime auto loan servicing systemin Winforms .NET front
end, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 back end. Re-wrote amortization engine to use Time Value Software’s DLL engine, and
so that closed end loans are accrued interest at every transaction,rather than pre-computed interest they were using in the
past. Project was built in two stages. Stage one was completely 100% data and functionally compatible with the original
MicroFocus COBOL application. Data functionality in stage one was achieved using the CONNIX data provider for
MicroFocus COBOL as middleware to the COBOL CISAM files. Stage two replaced all the CONNX SQL Pass through and
TableAdapter queries with stored procedures on SQL Server 2008 R2. Every single hard coded SQL query was replaced
with stored procedures,both for performance improvement and for best practice and possible future SAS 70 compliance. All
data tables were recreated on SQL Server and the MicroFocus application, server, and data were retired.
BREEDERS DIRECT PUPPIES 09/2009 – 10/2010
Senior website developer. Developing a website where customers can browse and purchase puppies from various
participating breeders. The web site is being developed as an ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities site using Visual Studio 2008
Professional, and SQL Server 2008 (for development) and SQL Server 2005 for deployment (due to GoDaddy hosting
limitations).
Used Visual FoxPro 9.0 to create web crawler’s to download data from old web site (they lost the source). VFP crawlers
saved HTML from maintenance screens on old web site, then parsed the HTML, and converted the HTML to XML used to
feed VFP tables that later fed SQL server remote views.
AUTOMATICLOGIC LLC. 04/2008 – 08/2009
Senior embedded applications developer. Created high speed ternary search routines for a network of Zilog ez80F91 micro
controllers, using Z80A assembler and C (for prototyping).
Used Visual FoxPro 9.0 to create ternary search tree database for use in microcontroller. Created headerfiles for assembler
routines using VFP’s text merge features.
BEN TAPPUCI LLC. 10/2007 – 04/2008
Senior application developer ofABS automated business system,a systemfor the wholesale electronic trade. System was
originally developed in Clipper 5.2e and I recreated the application in Visual xHarbour.
CLAYTON HOLDINGS, INC. 01/2005 – 10/2007
Senior compliance application developer, maintained CLAS (Clayton Loan Analysis System) a mortgage underwriting
systemused to analyze mortgage portfolios for legal high cost and credit compliance issues. I was one of the two chief
compliance coders.
Maintained and modified HCA (High Cost Analyzer) a VFP 9.0 DLL called via an ASP.NET web application and / or through
direct client integration. This product was for desktop underwriting type applications where loans pre-close were analyzed
for high cost and anti-predatory compliance. This product had direct client facing as loan originators used this system
themselves.
Created our MATHCORP DLL wrapper that we used to interface with the industry standard MATHCORP APR payment
stream engine. Prototyped the systemin Visual Basic 6.0 and then converted to C++ 6.0 for speed.
Converted numerous Foxplus utilities into Visual FoxPro 9.0.
NORTHEAST UNTILITIES 02/2004 – 12/2004
Senior application developer maintained a variety of in house Visual FoxPro (9.0) and Visual Basic applications used for
tracking lighting rebate programs, and numerous other rebate programs, for example one application could figure out the
refund that would be awarded if a business switched all existing T-12 four bulb fluorescent fixtures to the more efficient 3
bulb mirrored reflector T-5 units.

Senior Visual FoxPro Developer, in charge of FoxPro DBF to SQL Server back end conversion. Company is a discount
electricity provider, who wants to move all DBF tables used in present FoxPro billing systemto a SQL server back end
without the expense of re-writing the entire application.
Converted old FoxPro 2.5 DOS module code to true Visual FoxPro code. Much of the Visual FoxPro application was poorly
designed FoxPro for DOS code so I regularly had to convert that to VFP paradigm.
YMCA RETIREMENT FUND 03/2003 – 08/2003
Senior Visual FoxPro Developer, maintained and enhanced the YRS retirement system. YRS is a client server retiree /
participant management systemcreated using Visual FoxPro 7.0, Visual MaxFrame 2000, and SQL Server 2000 for the back
end. Must of the transactional code was written as stored procedures in SQL server, most of which I wrote and maintained.
The application was driven by SQL Server Views to prevent direct table access.Worked directly with senior management and
end users. Project was a 10 member team effort, and source code was maintained via Visual SourceSafe. Worked quite a bit
with the SQL Profiler for query debugging.Worked closely with our data conversion team and the QA team.
FLEET HEALTHCARE FINANCE / FLEET CAPITAL LEASING 12/2001 – 12/2003

system. Interfaced directly with the accounting department and corporate management. Database was the Advantage
database server. The leasing systemmade use of the Time Value COM object in order to replace legacy hard coded Clipper
routines that did this (but were a maintenance nightmare). Eliminated many of the legacy reports using Visual FoxPro.

Hired a subcontractordue to conflicts with the AIG project. I performed data conversion from their original DOS/Clipper
S87 membership application. This was a Clipper (DOS xBase) to Visual FoxPro conversion project.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP (AIU ENERGY DIVISION) 04/1997 – 09/1999
Repaired, redesigned data structures,added new functionality to STARRNET 7.0, an Insurance Policy Tracking & Invoicing
systemfor large energy related plants. (i.e. it tracks policies held by the Exxon Corporation among many others). Diagnosed
and repaired systemproblems in this Visual FoxPro 5.0 system. The original application was poorly designed and coded by
numerous less than competent consultants overa five year period. I was the first programmer to actually get the systemout
in the field for use by ten international and national offices. Tested and rebuilt a six thousand line invoicing programming and
converted to a more efficient 50 lines of code (with no loss of functionality) and only two SQL queries instead of three dozen,
boosted performance from 15 to 30 minutes per invoice to about 1 second per invoice. Corrected numerous SQL queries that
unnecessarily used joins creating Cartesian product result sets,resulting in major performance improvements.
System was originally a port from FoxPro 2.6 so I provided true conversions of2.x screens sets into VFP tab controls on a
single form, replacement of nested loop data base writes into transactionalcode using SQL INSERTS and UPDATES with
ROLLBACKS on errors etc.
Implemented the use of VFP’s data environments on forms and reports instead of the usual poorly designed data
environment management their previous programmers set up.
