  Worked on a number of web based projects utilizing both Visual Basic/ASP and Java. Express Scripts: Created a custom J2EE framework (based on the Command design pattern) utilizing EJB calls across a firewall to get to a set of back-end CORBA services.

Patients would answer several questions about their financial situations and their answers would be considered against qualification rules for each of the funding sources in real time. Programming of Jess utilized the LISP language. xtralease.com: Designed and created site-search functionality for the site, since none was available natively in the site’s Informix database. In the second phase of the site, architected a generic reporting tool. Using this tool, new reports could be created with very little coding. Reports were customizable – allowing users to select which accounts to include, time frame for the report and which of the pre-defined columns to include in each instance of the report. A snapshot of the data was saved. This allowed customer service representatives to view the same data as the user to assist with any questions. Also allowed for downloading the report data from the site for use in spreadsheets, etc. Show less
