Professional Experience:

Achievements:

• designed, developed and authored a Windows-based system to generate arrest warrants based on information maintained in a mainframe system, saving my employer at least $8,000,000 over a nine-year period (conservative estimate not allowing for benefits of additional personnel which would have been needed), and designing the business processes required resulting in modifications to rules of court which obtained for me the award of listing in Who's Who in American Law from 2005 - 2008;
• designed, developed, and authored a procedure to extract financial data from a collection of malformed Acrobat files; gathered extracted data and formatted it for modification of records in the mainframe system, saving my employer approximately $50,000,000;
• created directory structure, layout, and general schema for the divisional Intranet, serving approximately 2200 primary users in over 25 regional offices;
