Rental Reservation Systems & Exotic Estates Widget June 2010 - Present

Rental Reservation System (RRS) require a system to manage complex information, collect payments and have content appear on one or more front-end marketing sites. Properties are listed on the front-end marketing site and potential guests can search for properties and view them via a map or list. Selecting a property displays it's landing page detailing features, image gallery, rates, etc. from which visitors can send an inquiry about booking the property to an Exotic Estates agent using RRS. A link to a contract is sent to the potential guest which they can then complete online, electronically sign, and pay for their stay using their credit card.

Development Manager | Znode System & Web Server Administrator

Reid Industries, Inc. May 2009 - Present

I chose the Znode e-commerce platform as the basic infrastructure for Reid Industries' multiple front-end marketing sites for their various product line. This enabled product catalogs to be managed independently from the front-end product sites and combine in different ways for creating very target sites to sell products from. The full source code edition has been customized with unique templates for each site (Master pages), interactive user controls, specific security restrictions for the reseller portal, and custom fulfillment processes.

Live front-end marketing sites:

• HubForHealth.com & Hub4Health.com
• PikStik.com
• PikStik.com/Reseller

Software Analyst | Web Developer

Confi-Check, Inc. September 2005 - July 2006

I designed the overall architecture, enhanced search functionality, and added visitor tracking for multiple Web sites providing public records search capabilities using C#, ASP.NET, and Web Services. Sites targeted different audiences, such as public searching for friends and companies needing background checks on employees, hence need for common application framework and multiple front-ends. System met current design standards and used latest technology by utilizing design patterns like Model-View Controller (MVC) and Indigo messaging framework (now known as the MS Windows Communications Foundation- WCF). Innovative use of WCF combined with AJAX for providing search-as-you-type results.

The e-marketing Web tool I designed and implemented in ASP.NET and MS SQL Server had advanced sales tracking integrated with front-end public records search sites. This tool enabled staff to create email marketing campaigns that automatically send custom branded emails, newsletters, offers and discounts to prospects and existing customers by intelligently selecting relevant promotions based on visitor tracking data and past purchases. Made an additional $200K in sales for Confi-Chek, Inc. within 3 months of launching first email marketing campaign.
