Work History

9/01/03-6/14/06 Clarion Software Developer at Simonton Windows- Worked closely with the CIO developing a Sales Information System and
dashboard for upper management.  Developed a customer list de-duping bridge program between their Sales Information System and Goldmine CRM
distributed system which identified and presented to users duplicate customer records amongst their 5 sister-company acquisitions and assisted their
removal. Programmed several consolidated financial reports for their corporate intranet's financials' dashboard shared amongst all 5 companies/divisions.

4/01/89-9/01/03 Sole-proprietor/Contract Programmer/Network Engineer - Written programs in over a dozen different languages,of which,
Clarion is my favorite!   I've used Clarion Professional Developer 2.1 since 1989 to design, modify, and implement a General Comprehensive
Accounting system (which Clarion Corp. used at one time), Bar-Code applications for inventory, invoicing, and shipping, Order tracking, and various
other manufacturing and business applications, successfully.  I've authored, roughly, a dozen websites since 1996.  I've used Clarion For Windows
Enterprise Edition since version 1 and am currently using Clarion 6.3 Enterprise Edition.  Right now I'm working on my own general comprehensive
accounting system for small/medium sized companies. I've recently completed an Inventory and Order Tracking systemfor a multi-million dollar beauty
supplies distributor, a POS system for their retail outlets, among other varied warehousing systems.  I've produced a personal finance debt-elimination
application system along with accelerated mortgage reduction.  I've taught many programmers, all across America, the Clarion language and style of
advanced rapid programming.  Just finished researching Cellular and Spectrum 24 Portable Pocket Data Terminals, from
Symbol Technologies, for a
retail distribution warehouse. Completed an install of Win2000 Server replacing the existing BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5 that I installed 3
years ago, which serves the Inventory w/ Order Tracking and Accounts Receivable system I wrote (in C5b) for a beauty supply distributor, in

program to verify or correct a debtor’s interest paid to banks. This program recalculates the interest charged on debts using adjustable rate
tables by date and produces detailed documentation.
