EXPERIENCE

Lee Sailer Consulting, 1991--present, Consultant.  I offer a variety of
software development, system configuration, system administration, and
custom education services to small businesses.  (See project
descriptions below.)

Kinzuid, Inc., Jamestown, NY, 1990--1991, Software Engineer.  Designed
and implemented an image conversion program in C++. Completed full
database analysis, design, and partial implementation of an information
system for US Navy Medical Corpsmen--patient scheduling and reporting,
pharmacy inventory, multi-media/laser disc access to medical
procedures, CD-ROM access to maps, voice recognition--using Enable and
a 486 based MSDOS portable.

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, 1986--1990.  Assistant Professor
of Management Information Systems and Management Science.  As Director
of both undergraduate and graduate MIS program (BS, MBA) I designed,
developed, and implemented a full curriculum; I taught advanced
technical courses (Database, SA&D, Office Information Systems,
Statistics); I advised students; I presented research papers at
scholarly meetings; I studied and reported to faculty on emerging
Information Technologies.

University of Pittsburgh, 1979--1986, Assistant Professor, Mathematical
Anthropology and Sociology, member of the Mathematical Statistics
Institute.  I designed and delivered undergraduate and graduate classes
in Data Analysis, Statistics, Computer Programming, and Cognitive
Science; I published numerous research papers in first tier scientific
journals and presented many papers at professional meetings; I directed
master and doctoral level research projects.


MAJOR CONSULTING PROJECTS

Project:  Legal Office Project Tracking System, 1992.  Using NeXTstep,
Objective-C, and a database backend, I designed and am implementing a
system for tracking ongoing legal cases, upcoming events, and people
and their roles for a network of NeXTs in an attorney's office.

Project:  Inventory, Accounting, and Paperwork automation for
Pennsylvania State Beer Distributors, January, 1992--present.
Consultant and Lead Developer.  Under contract to Reese Accounting
Systems, Pennsylvania's leading supplier of paper-based accounting
systems to state-licensed beer distributors, I am leading a team of
three programmers in developing an array of products designed for both
mom-and-pop and large-scale distributors.  (MSDOS, Turbo Vision, Topaz
based.)

Project:  Database, SQL, and Oracle Consulting, April, 1992.  Developed
content and delivered six day (40 hour) seminar.  Description:  Toledo
Scale, a Fortune 500 company in Columbus, Ohio, is moving from a
mainframe based system to a WAN/Oracle Server based system, with custom
Oracle applications supporting a complex order entry procedure,
tracking warranty and repair orders, and so on.  Toledo Scale feels
that an understanding of the principles of database, SQL, and Oracle
will enable mid-level management to find innovative ways to use the new
capabilities of the shared enterprise-wide database.  I studied their
operation, developed a custom curriculum, and lead a six day seminar.

Project:  Erie Insurance Group SQL Staff Development, 1991.  Education
in Database Design and SQL of professional Computer Applications
Developers.  Erie Insurance Group's corporate headquarters plans to use
SQL (Adabase) for both new applications and conversion of old ones.  I
developed and delivered a four day seminar on database analysis,
design, and performance topics to 60 employees from several involved
software development groups.

Project:  Human Computer Interaction Consulting to IBM Research.  1990-
-1991.  Under subcontract to Tom Crandell Consulting, Binghamton, NY, I
was one of three reviewers who monitored a large body of Information
Systems research publications and created periodic reports which
recommended ways new research could be used by IBM.  I reviewed
research literature in Human Computer Interaction, User Interface
design, Software Engineering, and related topics, and prepared reports
for IBM researchers.

Project: System Configuration and Administration of Mercyhurst
Archaeological Institute, Erie, PA, July, 1991--March, 1992.  I was
responsible for the design and installation of a six workstation system
for the support of a twenty person research institute.  I evaluated
user requirements, acquired hardware and software, trained users, and
wrote custom software.

Project: Free Text Analysis System, U. Pittsburgh, 1985--1986.  I built
a system to create a large, user-friendly free-text database (patient
records, notes, observations, etc.) cross indexed by entity-
relationship data such as age, gender, and race that could subsequently
be studied by a team of legal and medical scholars.
  The "Law and Psychiatry Research Project" at the Western Psychiatric
Institute and Center was commissioned to do a long range, qualitative
study of dangerous-patient/health-worker interactions.  The primary
data collection was in the form of hospital records plus tape recorded
interactions and observations.  There were about twenty observers in
several hospital wards twenty-four hours per day for about six months.
  As data began to literally pour in, the principal investigators
belatedly decided to implement a computer system to manage the data,
which eventually ran to hundreds of megabytes.  I was recruited to the
project the same day that data started arriving.
  I conceived and built the necessary data entry software and
management system, and trained the users on the fly.  Today, we might
call it rapid prototyping.

Project: Scientific Technical Programming, UC Irvine, 1972--1978.  I
designed and programmed several one-of-a-kind scientific information
systems, facilitating both basic and applied research, including Jaguar
(5000 SLOC), a fast, user-friendly, interactive multiple-regression
package (with Charles Lave); IBYU (5000 SLOC), used for cluster
analysis of profile data (after David Napier); Deviant (2000 SLOC),
used for finding a reporting on unusual cases from the 5C cross-
cultural database; UCLUST (2000 SLOC), implemented D'Andrade's U-
statistic hierarchical clustering method.

OTHER PROJECTS

Project: Publications in Academic Journals, 1972--1986.  As researcher,
author, and co-author I published numerous professional articles in
first-tier peer-reviewed journals.  General topics include:
mathematical modeling of social network structure; statistical analysis
of relationship between behavior, belief, and memory; modeling and
analysis of evolution of dimorphism; use of computers in qualitative
and quantitative social science research.  These articles are
frequently cited in their respective areas as valuable contributions to
scholarly knowledge.

Project:  Post-Doctoral Education of Quantitative Methods
Specialists, 1986, National Science Foundation.  In collaboration with
H. R. Bernard, P. Pelto, and the National Science Foundation, I
developed a program to improve the skills of university faculty
teaching social science quantitative methods courses.
