FREELANCE PROJECTS

Bit Badger Solutions (FKA DJS Consulting) • 2004 -
https://bitbadger.solutions

All the current and past projects / clients are detailed on the All Solutions page of my business site.

The MCA/Warehouse Automation System (MWAS) • 2006 - 2007

This system was developed on my own to assist a military mail movement task to which I was assigned. It provided for more accurate accountability and tracking of worldwide mail deliveries in and out of combat zones, as well as quality control mechanisms and reports that allowed analysts to see an accurate picture of the mail flow through the facility. Special consideration was given to the limited bandwidth available in certain overseas locations, so the system was designed to deliver valuable content displayed in an easy-to-understand way, while requiring a small network footprint.

Technologies Used:
- Programming Languages: PHP, SQL, XHTML
- System/Database Administration: MySQL, Apache, Microsoft Excel

Tournament and Membership Tracking System (TMTS) • 2001 - 2004

This project was utilized by the Montgomery Retired Military Golf Association (MRMGA), which they used to track their membership and run their annual 3-day golf tournament. This system computed handicaps, created teams, and tracked scores, computed skins, and recorded closest-to-the-pin accomplishments. This system was originally written using Access and ASP, but was converted to MySQL/PHP to provide more robust multi-user capabilities.

Technologies Used:
- Programming Languages: PHP, SQL, VBScript, JavaScript, HTML, ASP
- System/Database Administration: MySQL, Microsoft IIS, Microsoft Access 2000

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) • 2002
(Sub-contractor for Upp Business Systems)

This project was a bid for future work on a modernization project. It involved taking a Unisys DMS schema definition, developing an “as-is” diagram from it, and analyzing it to develop an alternative relational diagram for portions of the DMS database. This project was completed successfully.
