About the author

The author is just another obsessive compulsive hacker (the good kind) who when confronted with anything new can't help but wonder "how'd they do that?!?"

By day, I'm the Software Architect for CBMC; by night, I just try to "keep the clients happy" as Director of Technology for sdgInteractive.

Software Architect

  • Responsible for the architecture and implementation of all CBMC web properties including the staff extranet, four primary public web properties (cbmc.com, operationtimothy.com, forums.cbmc.com and media.cbmc.com) as well as local city CMS system.

Also responsible for the training and support of the designated local resource who serve as content owners
  • Implemented an ASP.NET based extranet with an SQL Server backend that relies heavily on Crystal Reports for content presentation. Also implemented the data tier to support this data largely based T-SQL stored procedures
  • Architected and coded an extensive business layer for exposing and vertically integrating many back office functions to allow for heavy code re-use for common functionality such as online donation, event registrations, e-commerce and media distribution. A core tenant of these systems is an extreme aversion to tight coupling that allowed for a separating of concerns from these back end functions and their web interfaces which allows for agility in updating back office procedures with a minimum of disruption to the consuming applications.
  • Responsible for the implementation and customization of the Microsoft CRM. Also responsible for architecting the mechanism for both exposing CRM based content to other applications as well as the ability to push data back into CRM as a common repository.
