EXPERIENCE

9/2000 - Present

Litigation, IT Support and Web\Application Development

Internal Web and Application/Utility Development using the following technologies: ASP, HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, Visual Basic, VB.NET & COM, Oracle and SQL2000.  Database design, requirements gathering, developing web site security, client support, creating graphics and developing look-and-feel are included in my responsibilities.

Currently improve and support an electronic document management environment that converts any type of electronic work into PDF.  The system includes maintaining a 154-Windows2000 Server “farm” which prepares documents for evidence by converting up to 3 million pages per day.  A web console I designed and maintain manages the Farm; it provides job management and workflow functions such as monitoring PC health and building reports. 

As the most complicated bankruptcy in history, Enron’s EDMS system contains more documents than any company in history.  This required a conversion environment that is fast, stable, and scaleable. We created one of the highest throughput document conversion environments in business today.

Also developed criteria, conducted tests and provided reports for hardware and software purchases. Developed the CareerServices web application to help former Enron employees affected by the bankruptcy locate jobs and post their resumes.  The site received press coverage as we helped displaced Enron employees transition into new careers.
