Ted M.

With 20 years of experience in database design and programming, I have developed a comprehensive set of skills that enable me to create stable, flexible, user-friendly database applications with MS Access, MS SQL Server and Crystal Reports. My MS Access experience covers everything from complex, multi-user distributed (front end - back end) applications, to quick, disposable, ad hoc utilities. I am proficient in Access SQL and VBA, so I am able to code complex business logic and create very intuitive, easily-navigated user interfaces. I also have extensive knowledge of Access ADP (Access front end, SQL Server back end) applications. For my SQL Server clients, I can leverage the power of SQL Server by creating robust data processing resources. With advanced knowledge of the Transact SQL programming language, I'm able to create very user-friendly representations of complex data. With SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) I am able to automate a wide range of database operations, such as integrations and migrations. I know how to make Crystal Reports shine as a report writing tool, by off-loading the data processing tasks to the underlying DBMS (database management system). The result is a fast, light weight and easily maintained Crystal Report. As a data modeler, I know how to design flexible data structures that can handle changing and expanding business requirements. I use ERwin data modeling software to design, analyze, prototype and document database resources. Follow up support for my client is something I take very seriously. The manner in which I design and document a project enables me to quickly provide technical support and revisions, even after years of separation from the project. My work and availability schedule is very flexible and accommodating. Numerous references and samples of my work are available upon request. A full guarantee accompanies all of my work, and my clients are not expected to pay for anything they are not satisfied with. Remote collaboration has been very successful using Remote Desktop, GoToMeeting and GoToMyPC.
