I know.  If I were really any good, why would I be desparate. . .nevertheless
I am really good and I am really desparate.  Call me.

Major Information System Projects

Project:  Inventory, Accounting, and Paperwork automation for
          Pennsylvania State Beer Distributors.

     Responsibilities:  Lead Developer.

     Description:  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 is developing an array of products designed for both
     mom-and-pop and large-scale distributors.

     Outcome:  In progress.

Project:  Database, SQL, and Oracle Consulting, April, 1992.

     Responsibilities:  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.

     Outcome:  According to evaluations, the seminar achieved all of
     its goals.

Project:  Erie Insurance Group SQL Staff Development, 1991.

     Responsibilities:  Education in Database Design and SQL of
     professional Computer Applications Developers.

     Description:  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 Outcome:  According to the Vice President of Applications
     Programming, I get "rave reviews."


Project:  US Navy Medical Corpsman Information System, Kinzuid, Inc.
          Jamestown, NY, 1991.

     Responsibilities:  Programming in C, C++, Enable.  Database
     design.  Msdos based.

     Description:  In 1990, Kinzuid, Inc. obtained a three year
     contract from the US Navy to do R&D on the possibility of building
     an information system for Medical Corpsmen--patient scheduling and
     reporting, pharmacy inventory, multi-media/laser disc access to
     medical procedures, CD-ROM access to maps, voice recognition, and
     so on--using a 486 based MSDOS portable.  I joined the project in
     December of 1990.

     Project Outcome:  Incomplete at the time I left.  Changes internal
     to the US Navy Bureau of Medicine (Gulf War, Retirement) lead to a
     downsizing of the project.


Project:  Developing software for use in instruction.  U. Pittsburgh,
          Penn State-Behrend, 1980--1991.

     Responsibilities: Developed and delivered state-of-the-art
     university courses to graduate students and upper-division
     undergraduates in

       -  Systems Analysis and User Requirements Specification
       -  Systems Design and Implementation
       -  Database Management Systems Analysis, Design, and
          Administration
       -  Office Information Systems
       -  Fundamentals of Information Systems
       -  Computer Programming (Fortran, Simula, C)

     Description: Such courses naturally rely heavily on examples of
     pristine programs that adhere perfectly to standards and
     principles.

     Project Outcome: Evaluations of performance in these duties varied
     from 'good' to 'excellent'.


Project: Free Text Analysis System, U. Pittsburgh, 1985--1986.

     Responsibilities: Analysis, design, implementation, and end-user
     support under severe hardware, time, and budget constraints.

     Description: 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 decided it might be nice to have 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.  Then, using Unix shell and C
     language tools, I built a system to create a large, 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.

     Project Outcome: One year later, the users were well-satisfied
     with the capabilities available to them.  I left to pursue another
     opportunity.


Project: Scientific Technical Programming, UC Irvine, 1972--1985.

     Responsibilities: Programming and Design, Fortran, Dec-10.

     Description: Designed and programmed many 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, implemented
     D'Andrade's U-statistic hierarchical clustering method (2000
     SLOC).

     Project Outcome: These programs, as well as several smaller ones,
     were all widely used in their communities for several years.
