Started a small wireless network to provide high speed Internet access in the Trestle Glen neighborhood of Oakland. Host five domains, providing e-mail with spam filtering and secure web-mail access and web space for individuals and domains.

Modernized existing web site, providing consistent navigation and architecture. Currently providing new site and information architecture, coding specifications, and style outline for total site re-design. Built content management system and automated many manual processes for external web site. Used the creation of a fully database-driven intranet site as teaching tool for web team. Skills taught were applicable to maintaining the PHP/MySQL/rSync based CMS of the public site. The CMS also allowed easy transition to Citrix based remote site updates for on-call web team members. Participated in evaluating several technology initiatives and helped design several internal database systems to provide more timely and accurate data to customers.

Transformed company web site from an out dated, static, product catalog into a dynamic company information system built around ColdFusion and MS SQL Server (and watched sales grow from two million to ten million without an increase in sales staff). Customers now use the public web site to build their own quotes for networking products and services as well as stay informed about the status of their orders and support requests. All aspects of the company's business now flow through the back end intranet including Sales, Human Resources, Marketing, Shipping/Receiving, and Purchasing as well as the public site maintenance. Also designed an education portal site which would allow AMS education customers to create their own mini portals, consolidating classroom information for their students and allowing students to build online 'reports'.
