I have 27 years of Fox / Database the last 13 years were with Web Connection. I was planning to retire, but we had a house fire and that changed things. I have always been exceptional and can help someone I'm sure. Please contact me ASAP with any potential arrangements.

Additional Info / Shameless Self Promo:

Built IPAL (Insurance Policy Activity Logs) originally as two separate desktop applications, also built by me, that were later migrated to the West Wind Web Connection framework as IPAL. I maintained all aspects of IPAL including the IIS 7 web server, HML5 pages, including Javascript, AJAX event-driven postbacks for things like displaying ancillary data, progress bars and removing rows of data dynamically.

Implemented Steven Black's International Toolkit on a real estate application (a one-month job not on resume).

Worked with Stonefield database toolkit (implemented for Ensemble screen print & embroidery system at International System Solutions).

Built FoxHound - integrated VFP-based source control and ProjectHound - VFP-based project management. I have built VFP project hooks to do things like automate backups of source code, etc. I am familiar with VFP internal architecture allowing easy manipulation of class inheritance for example. I have built many intellescript's (VFP) to greatly improve efficiency and consistency. I have written much code that writes code. I have a very large set of tools accumulated over the years.

Participated in VFP beta. Influenced original functionality of XMLToCursor function (VFP 7) by recommending it not require an in-line XML header / DTS in the source data by default. Instead, the XML structure is automatically determined by the XML itself.

Maintained end-user documentation / help / chm files.

Created technical and business partner documentation for individual projects and Excel representations of overall project progress.

Made recommendations for best practices, upscaling and migrations, etc.

Maintained VFP-based SQL Administrator utility application at Aether Mobile Government. Worked closely with DBA and testing personnel.

Maintained a utility billing system for a small accounting company in Hattiesburg, Mississippi (first job lasting 2 years, not on resume).

If I can provide any additional information, please let me know.
