I design and build primarily windows networks usually with Windows 2000 Small Business Server on the domain controller for multiple clients. Most servers that I build will include SCSI raid arrays on Compaq or HP servers running a variety of services including DNS, DHCP, NTFRS, DFS, Web Services, FTP Services, Exchange, and SQL, in a multi-master replication model with Active Directory featuring terminal services for centralized management and lower total cost of ownership. I also write accounting software mostly in Open Systems Accounting Software environment, including custom modifications to existing software as well as new product development. My team developed the IS Systems Open Commerce Suite that interfaces existing accounting software with its customizable “Web Store” demonstrated here. This suite was written with Business Basic Programs on the back end using Open Systems File Structures or SQL databases to create dynamic web pages and JavaScript that are fired off by CGI scripts and invoke C++ applications to generate SSL negotiation of XML data for Secure Credit Card transactions. I have written custom shipping API for the Open Commerce product and consider it a cutting edge web application and am very proud of the products and my team.
EDUCATION
I went to Robert E. Lee High School and finished with a GPA of 3.6. I majored in all sciences and completed two years each of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus. My extracurricular activities included: Chess Club (president), Chemistry Club (co-president), The Junior Engineering Technical Society, The Academic Decathlon, Debate, Spanish Club, and Latin Club.
I have attended San Antonio College part-time for three years maintaining a 3.5 GPA and am declared a double major in Mathematics and Physics, however most of my hours are in Psychology. I plan to continue my part-time education at The University of Texas at San Antonio. I read vigorously and am most interested in Operating Systems, ancient civilizations, language acquisition, and the evolution of consciousness.
