Senior Programmer, Team Leader, Network Administrator

·         Millennium 3000 is a classroom management system.  The purpose of this product is to give more teachers more time with students instead of doing paperwork.  Millennium 3000 is broken down into two product categories.  The first is category is called, ‘Teacher Station’.  The second is called the ‘Student Station’.  The teacher station includes three different products.  The three products are titled SchedulTech, Test Maker and Technology Tracker.  SchedulTech is a product that schedules students in a class to modules within the class.  Test Maker allows teachers to create, edit and modify different types of tests.  Finally, there is Technology Tracker.  Technology Tracker is a real time classroom monitor that is bundled in with a gradebook.  The student station uses two products.  The first product is called ‘Navigator’ and other product is called ‘Test Taker’.  This product is a multi million-dollar product that I designed, programmed, documented, distributed and supported.

·         Planned and designed out the entire flow of the system including the database design, graphical layout, features and other design specs.

·         Databases that are used in this system were first created using Access and then moved to SQL Server.  The power of SQL allows the classroom management system the ability to quickly find information that is needed for its different tasks. 

·         Created a client / server system using IPWorks, a winsock tool, that allows the system to work on any version of Microsoft NT and any version of Novel network.  Included in the management system is the ability to do screen captures and send it back to the teacher computer, to view any processes that are running, and lock students out of their computers so the teacher can lecture.  Most of these features were created using API’s.  I am proficient in API’s, Databases, Active-X, Winsock Communications, XML, SQL and other technologies.   Access and SQL Server were used to create all of the database structures, which also includes relationships.

·         Knowledge of Visual Basic and Access is very extensive.  Designed, programmed and tested the entire management system.
