I worked with FoxPro and Delphi on a Novell network, and Windows 95. Overhauled, enhanced and debugged many systems dealing with barcodes, keeping track of aircraft parts through the various stages of repair, employee performance, operational analysis, many report and color graph programs and taking responsibility to see that the network and all systems keep operating. I worked with employees, supervisors and engineers to design and program new systems for most aspects of the company operation. Created a Delphi system to query AS/400 data in California and combine the results with FoxPro data in Phoenix. In a company with over 250 people I had sole responsibility for the database programming. I have made the systems more sophisticated and reliable, usage increased more than ten times and become crucial to the functioning of all departments. Productivity and efficiency have increased dramatically as a result.  I trained the programmer who replaced me to enable a smooth transition for the company when I left.
