Design, develop, test and implement modifications and new applications to PeopleSoft Student Administration package. Create new custom applications as per customer requests and and support existing applications. Recent development includes developing multipledata feeds to/from several external systems, implementing trigger level auditing on multiple tables, developing application to import images from the campus ID system into the Peoplesoft application, and other tasks as assigned. Work requires knowledge of Oracle, Unix OS, Perl, SQL, and multiple proprietary PeopleSoft applications such as PeopleTools, Application designer, Application Engine, SQR, and PeopleCode.
Develop, test and implement modifications and new applications to PeopleSoft Student Administration package. Modify existing custom applications as per customer requests and as affected by PeopleSoft patch sets. Recent development includes student optional fee selection and data feeds to/from several external systems. Work requires knowledge of Oracle, SQL, and multiple proprietary PeopleSoft applications such as PeopleTools, Application designer, Application Engine, SQR, and PeopleCode.

Employed two years as a system administrator for the Computer Science
Department. Helped to maintain a dozen servers and over 100 workstations. Had
total responsibility for the installation, administration and maintenance of
the Windows NT 4.0 servers and workstations and a computer lab running Windows
95. Installed and maintained Oracle8 on a Windows NT server in addition to
developing and implementing a departmental database.
Performed network and system administration duties on the UNIX (SunOS and
Ultrix) servers and workstations in addition to hardware and software
troubleshooting for the department's computers and network. Administrative
duties consisted of creating and maintaining over a thousand faculty, staff and
student accounts, DNS maintenance, and identifying and correcting network
problems.
Employed as a FORTRAN lecturer for one year. Had complete responsibility for
developing and conducting lectures, developing and grading assignments and
tests, and issuing final grades.
Member of the Olefins Plant Simulator/Optimizer (OPSO) project team which
implemented OPSO projects. Duties consisted of furnace model configuration and
testing, implementing the optimization code and customer training. Also
responsible for design, implementing and testing of project specific code for
the furnace feed preparation section. All software was written in FORTRAN for a
DEC VAX 4000 computer.
Part of a two person team which developed, implemented and tested automated
testing software for the ABB furnace model. The testing software used a script
language to define the test conditions and provided the ability to save the
results for future review.
Developed and implemented a Distributed Control System (DCS) control module
in C to move check gates and turnout gates in the Central Arizona aqueduct
system. All DCS software resides in EPROMS.
Led the team responsible for the design, development and implementation of a
pump scheduling system for a large metropolitan area water supply system to
take advantage of time of day electric rates. The scheduling software was
developed and tested using Microsoft FORTRAN. The code was ported to a ModComp
Classic computer control system for installation at the customer's facilities.
Developed and implemented pumping plant control software for a small water
distribution system. The software was written in Basic for a Texas Instruments
PLC. Designed, implemented and tested an operator interface to a ModComp
computer control system on an IBM PC using Lotus and a custom operator
interface. The interface software was written in Microsoft FORTRAN.
Lead engineer on a project to provide a distributed computer control system
for a 1.1 billion lb. per year ethylene plant in Ontario, Canada. Duties included writing functional specifications for application software requested by the
customer, assisting in the overall software design, and implementing the
furnace control portion of the application software. Successfully designed and
implemented cracking furnace control software to ramp feed and steam flows
to/from minimal operating rates from/to normal operating rates for automated
furnace startup and shutdown control. All software was written on FORTRAN for a
ModComp Classic computer.
Worked on a software team to implement batch control software on peanut
roasters at two plants. My responsibilities included implementing the batch
control software, designing and implementing automatic fail over, and field
service of software portion of the project. The software was written in basic
for a Data General Nova 2.
