Supported and maintained the ENCOMPASSonline.com website (PHP, MySQL, Apache).  Updated code and moved ENCOMPASSonline.com website to a new Unix server.  Updated LAMP Security. Created a threshold detector based on the visitor's IP address to limit the number of anonymous retries to 5 attempts. Saved each non-successful attempt to a database, and calculated if the last 5 occurred within the last 5 minutes. Each threshold constant can be customized. If the threshold is exceeded, the user is redirected to a non-form page to prevent automatic retries. An e-mail is set to the administrator when the threshold is exceeded, along with the visitor's IP address for tracking. Fixed various PHP coding issues for upgrading from PHP4 to PHP5. 

 

Developed a winforms Claims database viewer, a winforms Crystal Reports for .NET report automation solution, and a dynamic winform system to replace paper forms. These applications were developed to fulfill business requirements for corporate executives and the call center teams.

 

Developed a FISMA/HIPAA-compliant online reports portal, compatible with and as a replacement for Microsoft SharePoint.  The portal was specifically designed to provide all SharePoint functionality with High Level FISMA-compliance.  The IT Director, my boss and myself compared our options and decided to use the .NET Framework to create a system better than SharePoint.  All .NET Framework SharePoint systems were mirrored, including User Role Assignments, Dynamic PageTitle, PageNews and PageContent Templates/Master Pages, and Authentication.

 

Winforms, web form applications, and the custom SharePoint-compatible system were developed using VB.net, ASP.net, AJAX, SQL, Visual FoxPro, CR for .NET, MSSQL, CSS, HTML, DHTML, XML, VBScript and Javascript.

 

Worked with managers and directors to identify project business requirements.

Developed an automated server benchmark web application, automated BindView Hotfix Scanner for server update status, a time lapse threshold control for Microsoft Operations Manager, and a RILO graphical web console (VB.net, HPILO, ASP.net, VBS, SQL, MOM, WMI, XML)

 

Whiteboarded all applications with the team.  The database team was made aware of connection requirements, SharePoint administrators were briefed on the update, and I developed the code to complete the business requirements. 

 

The first integrated web application was the Hotfix Scanner, to check systems for the latest BindView server updates.  There were 2000+ servers to scan, and this system automated the process for each Active Directory-listed administrator.  Each admin had 50-200 servers.  After processing all servers were updated with a report on status.

 

This application was integrated into a new server benchmark system that scanned new servers.  The scanned server results were compared against the system requirements for the new build.  All hardware and software was automatically audited and status was displayed.  This application was integrated into a SharePoint Workflow for all new server builds.

 

The time lapse threshold component was a VBS script that saved X number of occurrences over Y value of time.  If it is triggered more than X times, a message and Event Log entry are created.  Used the Windows Registry to save the values and occurrences.

 

The RILO web console was programmed to run DOS Command-line using XML scripts automatically generated by the selections in the web console.  This web access eliminated the requirement to physically log in to the server.
