Past Consulting Activities

 
Two places where I worked several years ago are Fleet Technologies and St. Andrew Development. They pride themselves in applying state of the art technologies and software development methodologies. The engineering Decision Support Systems (DSS) and the multimedia systems that I worked on all benefit from these techniques. Not only did I get the opportunity to practice, but I also taught a lot about practice.

Fleet's Compressor Series DSS is one of several engineering systems that have resulted in increased sales for their customers and satisfaction for the sales representatives that use it. This product is well engineered due to the use of objected oriented techniques. See Prototyping with the UML. If you are interested and wish to see more screen shots, then see Scenario Modeling. At St. Andrew Development, I got the opportunity to work on multimedia systems, particularly kiosks used for informing people about cancer, soliciting donations, and selling automobiles.

In summary, I served in several professional capacities and gained a variety of skills, as follows.

  • Consulting and systems development using object oriented methodologies (UML)
  • Programming in Visual Basic 5.0 and 4.0, MS Access, and the Jet Engine
  • Training, facilitating, and troubleshooting
