Adding a number of new features, I have extended Standard Register's existing check and gift certificate dispensing application written in Visual C++ and Visual Basic.   I also worked on a project to develop concepts for new product application learning about check fraud, paradigm shifts in electronic commerce, and new technologies.  I am currently working on developing a strategic plan for one of Standard Register's strategic products called LinkUp.

During this period, I augmented an existing Visual C++/Visual Basic application for the Standard Register Company incorporating communication and data management capabilities. This effort involved reverse engineering over 18,000 lines of code, modifying it appropriately, and adding a dozen classes.  I am also involved in Web page development using HTML, ActiveX and Java as well as converting DOS-based test software to Windows NT by developing a VxD to support I/O requirements.  I am a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Level III (Enterprise Edition) subscriber.
