Programmer Analyst
CDM (www.pmcl.com), FEB02 - APR03
TASKS:  Programmer Analyst with CDM.  Used control and analysis tools to build reports.  My team and I used these reports to perform analysis on schedule related data.  GUI development protected by Visual Source Safe.  Developed applications using Visual Basic 6.0 and Oracle 8i.  The information derived from this data is used to point out our past mistakes and potential problems.  Developed three-tier application based on client / sever model for enterprise.  Used Object Oriented Programming techniques.  Utilized various datagrids to produce results as defined by the client.  Had performed in a developmental role for a United States Department of Defense contractor.  These applications require real-time screen updates, developer tools, and ActiveX controls.  Used Data Manipulation Language during application development to manipulate the information stored in the database with SQL statements.  Declared recordset objects to manipulate the rows of a cursor, view their fields, and update underlining table via DML while navigating through the recordsets.  Datamined using queries involving advanced outer-joins.  This project involved mapping hierarchical recordsets to treeview controls.  Created modularized procedures that were dedicated for error handling.  Changed every event, function, procedure (over 200 in total) to call one consistent and easily amendable error handler.  Feature-driven development requires the use of events, methods, and / or properties of the following: Treeview, MS FlexGrid, StatusBar, Imagelist, Toolbar, ListView, Class Instance Objects, Collection, ImageCombobox, Protoview's Datatable, Key, Mouse, Timer, and others as needed.  Use Oracle Designer for database analysis for historical data conversion. Used embedded ADO code to access Oracle 8i database from within Visual Basic Applications.  I was a team member of Business Intelligence that was tasked to conduct historical data conversion.  This evolves data migration as well as heavy data analysis using Oracle Developer 2000.  Data conversations also involved pl/sql and T-SQL.  Tools such as Toad, SQL Plus, Oracle Designer, and In-housed products were used for this responsibility.  Provided support and enhancements to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Regulatory Information Management System (RIMS).  RIMS is a software development project that is approaching its fourth year of development.  The RIMS system establishes a national standard for data and information requirements within the Regulatory program that can be accessed throughout the entire Corps management hierarchy; particularly by Regulatory project management personnel.  This software application delivers data in a graphical format for review and analysis on the user's desktop.  Thus, users receive U.S. Army Corp of Engineers' information in an easily understandable format for used in day-to-day operations.  Additionally, this component involves development of a Microsoft Visual Basic application using a variety of components and techniques to create a unique and user-friendly application for the Regulatory community.
