Expert is a high-level Object Oriented Architect specializing in n-tier interface design, development, and security; transferring his knowledge to the client after prototype completion.

Primary emphasis has been on complex web-based design and implementation of large-scale databases, including transactions, security, auditing, business rules, administration, and the user interface; optimal design of scalable systems (LAN and WAN), including integration of appropriate hardware and software.

Data mining, including statistical analysis projects in addition to the design and development of several Web-based applications (including e-commerce, security, and encryption). Possesses excellent development skills, experience integrating operating systems, and recent experience in the installation and administration of Internet Servers. Author of JavaScript Cookbook, published 1997 by Wiley Publishing as well as many other publications.

Tenured Professor at the University of Minnesota. Senior OO technologies, eCommerce, and large-scale enterprise system design and implementation consultant. Teaches (or has taught) C++, Java, Web-related technologies, Statistics, Mathematical Modeling and Simulation, and scientific computing. Contributes 30 hours or so to consulting per week while teaching and is available full-time after the first of the year until school starts again in the Fall.

Specializes in n-tier system design, development, and security as well as knowledge transfer to the client. Primary emphasis has been on data warehousing and design/development of several SQL Server and Web-based applications (including e-commerce), design and development of backroom store inventory applications, and connection to legacy data. Particular skills in system simulations and modeling.

Developed a simulation model of a Customer Support Center. Implemented a statistical and mathematical algorithm to simulate a real-world system. The model allowed managers and system designers to optimize implementation of the support center via ''what if'' simulations. Used real-time data acquisition, and adaptive, data-based computation of system parameters. Developed a sophisticated GUI for user interface for data entry and analysis using Java. Designed and implemented (from the ground up) a large database project, which included data collection, database system design and implementation, entry forms, and numerous reports. The database was highly complex, with heterogeneous tables, numerous links, and dependencies, one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many relationships. This database required extensive and complex normalization and a variety of user interfaces. Designed, built, and taught an interactive (e-commerce) website that allowed students offsite at Hughes Corporation to take a C++ class via the Internet. Several transactions had to be developed to allow the same functionality as that of a real classroom.
