Users have the ability to pan and zoom the cameras, set recording parameters, watch recordings, and create and administer guest accounts.

Oct 2000 to Mar 2002

• Worked on front-end web system, including checkout pages, using JSP and Enterprise Java Beans running on a Weblogic web server and an Informix database. I assisted in modifying the existing checkout pages, including adding new functionality and fixing various bugs.
• Designed and built a customer service reporting system. This reporting system was entirely designed and created by myself and another consultant. Summary data was periodically taken from the main web database and stored in the local intranet database. This was accomplished with Java programs that would run during the night. A web-based interface, written in JSP, allowed the user to view this data in various ways (grouping by club type, date, etc.).
• Worked on customer service tool that is used to create promotions for the web site. The tool has a web-based interface, written in JSP, which allows the marketing department to set the terms of a promotion. When completed the new promotion would be automatically migrated to the web site by a Java program that would run every 15 minutes. This system was already in existence, but was completely re-written as part of the project. I worked extensively on modifying the existing JSPs to work with the new database design, in addition to creating numerous new JSPs for the new functionality. I also worked on the batch Java jobs that would run periodically to complete automated tasks, in addition to migrating the database to the new schema.

• Designed and implement an Employee Skills system as part of the Online Resource Management System. This allowed an employee to upload their resume and enter information about their technical skills. An administrator/project manager could then search for a particular skill set and view the resumes of the employees that best matched. This was written using JSPs with a SQL Server database.
