Premier Coding Solutions, Inc.

After watching the entire team I worked with at Reed get laid off (I was the only survivor of the layoff), I had pretty much had enough of full-time positions. At that time, I started full-time consulting at SAP in Newtown Square as a .NET Architect and Developer. That 3-month contract turned into 2.5 years of continuous work as the VB.NET WinForms desktop product I developed gained notoriety in the company and I eventually traveled to Europe several times as part of my work. In September of 2005, it was time for a change and I landed a really nice gig at TNS Media Intelligence working on their AdScope project (C# ASP.NET). In July of 2006, I moved on to my next gig at Barclays Bank Delaware (formerly Juniper Bank) as a .NET consultant working on desktop applications that integrate with telephony systems.

I have been doing freelance consulting work on the side since 1999, but in April 2006 I decided it was time to become more official and I incorporated my own company, Premier Coding Solutions, Inc. All work I do now, whether full-time consulting or "on-the-side" consulting, is done via my company, Premier Coding Solutions, Inc.

Unisys

Between May 28, 1996 and October 13, 2000 I worked at Unisys Corporation in Blue Bell, PA, USA.  I was an Applications and Architecture Analyst in the Sales and Marketing IT department.  During the 4.5 years I worked there, I met amazing people and learned more than I could have ever learned from a book or any college for that matter.  I got to be admin on servers I would never be able to afford and enjoyed a nice relaxed atmosphere with the occasional stuffed animal flying over the cube walls.

Consulting

Although I have been a computer consultant to friends/family for years, it was always just a hobby until I began professional Visual Basic consulting for Baldwin-Sadler Corporation in Audobon, PA.

Nowadays I also consult for Timeless Black Movies, Inc. and Revenue Collection Bureau, Inc.

Teaching

I started programming in BASIC (Basic All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) when I was 6 and I haven't stopped since.  I was hired by Unisys for my visual basic skillz and in January 1999 I started teaching CIS222, an advanced visual basic course, at Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, PA, USA.

Web Design

I started web design by earning a Ph.D. in a slick program called "Notepad" (for the non-techy readers, that was a joke ;-) and writing all HTML code from scratch.  As better tools came out I adapted and my current fave is Dreamweaver Ultradev.  Below is a list of public sites I've designed:

Latino Renaissance Gallery, Inc.

CIS222 - Advanced Visual Basic

Time 2 Quake

Time 2 Quake Secrets

Disciplined Bohemians band website

I also did 2 major websites for Unisys, but they are internal Unisys sites and proprietary to the company so I can't link them.  What I can do is list some of what I worked on:

Dynamic sites with inquiry and secure update capabilities to Oracle 7 and 8 databases.

OLTP and OLAP web-based applications.

A distributed web-based marketing application with multilingual capabilities, automated emails, translation feature using NT Terminal Server, Oracle 8 and Oracle Application Server.
