Orange Twine / PTC Web Metairie,
LA June 2000-October 2001
Programmer
Software developer for custom software
company.
-
Developed a data driven web application for insurance claims management.
-
Implemented a custom data pump that copied hundreds of thousands of records
from an AS/400 to a SQL Server, and a secondary pump that copied the data to a
SQL Server outside of the client's firewall.
-
Modified this datapump to be used at another client site, this time copying roughly
four million records per day, as well as copying incremental changes during the day.
-
Wrote a COM component in Visual C++ for use by ASP developers to allow easy sending of email without CDONTS problems.
-
Wrote an NT service in Visual C++ that polled a database for maintenance web pages, and would periodically
use the HTTP protocol to pull those web pages, allowing maintenance .asp scripts to be written and scheduled
as tasks.
-
Wrote an NT service in Visual C++ that polled a directory waiting for files. When a file was encountered
it would use the filename to lookup customer information in a database, save the file into the database associated
with the appropriate customer, and email that customer that their file had been saved to the database.
-
Wrote a COM component in Visual C++ for use by ASP developers to use the HTTP protocol to pull an
external web page without doing any client side redirects. This allowed us to do server-side credit
card transactions. Combined with the aforementioned service, this allowed us to schedule credit card
charges using an online credit card company that did not provide scheduling services.
