Experience
Contracted by Ciber Inc. Rochester, MN 1998 - 2007
Contracted to: Bytware Inc. Reno, NV Feb 2002 - Apr 2007
Write remote graphical user interfaces in Java Swing for all of Bytware's iSeries security applications. These GUI's can run at the same time and perform the same function as existing RPG user interfaces. Communicate with managed systems through JDBC, DB2/400 triggers, stored procedures and AS/400 Toolbox program calls. Including SQL searches through large numbers of records to create security event reports. These applications were also packaged as IBM iSeries Operations Navigator plugins.
Write all of both the graphical user interface in Java and the server side in C for Bytware / McAfee anti-virus for Linux and AIX. These Java interfaces run on Linux, AIX and Win and are internationalized in English, German, French and Japanese. Write the virus definition update process in cross platform shell scripts. Install OS, configure and manage both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and IBM AIX 5.3 on development
machines. Then create and manage build process for applications on Windows, Linux, AIX. Design and write packaging and licensing system for this application. Document application, including user manuals and help files. Teach one on one Linux command line and admin classes to each of the support people working at Bytware.
Contracted to: IBM Inc. Rochester, MN 1998 - 2002
Four years in Network Client Division writing Network Station Manager then Thin Client Manager, a Java application that remotely managed up to 10k IBM Network Stations using SNMP. I designed and wrote the task framework that allowed many programmers to write individual management tasks for Network Stations. The task framework made each task generic from the application view and isolated runtime errors in any task.
Designed and wrote XML data structure to manage information for up to 10k machines. Was the only programmer writing the Command Line Interface (CLI) for Network Station Manager. Invented the scripting language for CLI that allowed reusable scripts to control and schedule 10k network stations. Write Linux shell scripts to run on network stations when called by SNMP to complete management tasks. Participated in creating the Linux OS version used by IBM Network Stations including the SNMP agent. Taught a weekly Java class to 125 IBM employees.
Employed by: IBM Inc. Rochester, MN March 1996 - March 1998
Two years in AS/400 Partners in Development. Helping IBM business partners migrate data from any dbms to AS/400 and then access that data from any PC database application, including Clipper, Foxpro, Delphi, Visual Basic. Originated and wrote the IBM AS/400 Client / Server web site. Wrote Java demo programs for AS/400 data access from PC's that were used in IBM AS/400 education for several years.
Owned: South Fork Software Peterson, MN 1989 - March 1996
South Fork Software is my company and I am the only employee. During this time I wrote farm management software in the Clipper language and sold it through grain elevators to farmers in MN and IA.
