deployment of desktops and networking.
 Initiated, pursued, and completed a project to replace an IBM 9221 mainframe with FLEX-ES, a Unix-hosted
software emulation of an IBM mainframe, resulting in an overall performance improvement and a reduction of
software and hardware costs by over $3,000 per month.
 A decision was made to migrate key business applications to JD Edwards OneWorld. Assumed primary JDE CNC
duties (installation, upgrades, configuration, etc.).
 Gained a working knowledge of JDE development concepts to support debugging, address CNC issues, and
perform light production development.
 Supported the phased implementation of JDE Accounting, Purchasing, Inventory, HR, Payroll, and Fleet
Management.
 Devised and implemented emergency JDE software fixes (in C & JDE ER) when vendor was unable to respond in a
timely manner.
 Created a web app utilizing .NET, ASP, and C# to replace departmental white board, allowing for smoother
workflow and better communication.
 Wrote a C++ conversion program that reorganized mainframe data into files for loading into SQL Server tables,
allowing for replacement of the overly-complex Commercial Solid Waste rate file with a greatly simplified,
accurate, and user-friendly implementation.
 Planned, designed, and implemented the migration of Building Permits and Contractor Registration applications
from the IBM mainframe to Hansen (an ERP for municipal government).
