To my knowledge I am the only person in the world to successfully
design and deploy a healthcare superhighway. A healthcare
superhighway is a single system capable of processing an unlimited number of
healthcare programs. A single CHS Life system can be used to deliver
government healthcare programs, pharmaceutical orders, track charitable
contributions, process wellness memberships, and private insurance claims; all
from within a single application. In essence anyone and everyone can
design and deploy a healthcare program or at least their part of a healthcare
program. CHS Life was built using C#, .Net, and SQL Server 2005. The CHS Life system
utilizes views, stored procedures, and batch processing techniques. CHS
Life would not be possible without the use of object oriented design strategies and database referential integrity.

I was employed to re-engineer a national advertising contract entry system for the sales subsidiary of Cablevision Inc. This system was used by hundreds of data entry personnel and sales representatives nationwide. The goal of the redesign, which took approximately one year, was to increase both the speed and accuracy of the system with the end result being an increase in productivity and over all user satisfaction. In addition to my primary responsibilities, I re-designed a credit and collections system so it would accurately evaluate new and existing client accounts before authorizing and running of spot advertisement.
