meal-time events for each school using SQL Server 7 queries to access a SQL
Database.
Created
Crystal 8 reports launched from the ASPs which had
drill-down capabilities.
Modified user's Access database, "Advanced Prospective Inventory"
(DQ-API) and converted it to Oracle 8i. DQ-API receives downloaded data
from an oil drilling service and presents it to the Sales department for
additional input. Also created an internal web page to view data from
the Oracle tables.
Designed and maintained a Rental Tool Inventory System (DQ-RENT),
which provided the company with a better ability to track the location
and status of offshore deep-sea rental tools using Visual Basic 6,
Oracle 8i and asp.

personnel to email tool requirements made by the customer to the main
office.
Designed
and implemented an intranet web based indexing system for
the Engineering department to track drawings, proposals, documentation,
etc.
Designed an ActiveX control to emulate a mainframe Telex terminal.
The control has the capability of positioning a line cursor at any point
on the screen and react to the Function keys. The VB 6 form containing
the ActiveX control is used in a training program to teach the client's
employees (American Express) how to operate the mainframe
software.
Helped develop and maintain the following software:
StarSite

Maintained the chemical "speciation" database started as a contract
programmer through EMJAY.
Converted
a user written Paradox database Asset Tracking System to
an Access 97 database with a Visual Basic 6.0 frontend. The
Access/Visual Basic system allowed for a company wide Asset Tracking
System which maintained the location and status of containers used to
ship chemicals produced by the company. This saved Baker Petrolite
thousands of dollars per year by not having containers set idle.
Developed a chemical "speciation" database using Microsoft Visual
Basic 4.0 (Enterprise Edition) and Microsoft Access 7.0 that aided the
chemist in blending and combining various chemicals and raw materials
into a new product.
Developed an oil well torque and drag program written in Microsoft
Visual Basic 3.0 and utilizing Microsoft Access 2.0 database system.
Allowed used to enter data on drill string and hole data, survey data,
etc. which when combined produced a graphic representation of the torque
and drag characteristics of the drilling equipment.
