Objective

All fields in science and technology, today, are characterized by tremendous progress but none possibly more so than the field of computers and computer software. It has been my objective to be productive in a way that not only gives me the satisfaction of overcoming professional challenges effectively, but also enables me to serve the cause of technology and the community in the process. I believe I can achieve these goals through a career in software engineering.

Description

Applets would use the facilities offered by Oracle web servers to create html pages on the fly using data generated through queries and the querying applets would use the data to interact with clients. Data thus obtained could be used by the clients within DDE enabled applications.

Platform and Software Used

• JDK 1.1.5 & 1.1.6
• Oracle 7.x
• Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0
• Netscape 4.0x
• IE 4.0
• Java Security Providers such as Cryptix
• Windows NT 4.0

• Integrating applets into browsers using nascent object signing technology and enabling clients to use the same.
• Use of the JAF and JavaMail API to enable email client aplications to easily scale and move across platforms.

Period

May 1997 – October 1997

Location

New Zealand

Description

UNIX server side programs were rewritten in Java to enable the client server paradigm to continue but the front end was fragmented to allow applet-based delivery if required.

Role

• Feasibility analyst
• Design coordinator and developer

Period

September 1996 – May1997

Location

The clients were Fujitsu New Zealand, the product, Hospro, being targeted towards major New Zealand health care facilities as well as establishments world-wide.

Description

The project involved development, maintenance and expansion of a hospital-management software called Hospro. The system used a DEC UNIX backend to support PC clients, running the GUI on a Windows 3.11 or Windows 95 OS. It used Ingres as the RDBMS. Communication between UNIX programs and front-end software was managed on the PCs by Windows DLLs written using MSVC Version 1.5, and on the backend by a UNIX daemon server program. Communication between the PC based software and the UNIX based database was managed by CA-Ingres/Net software using SQL Gupta(Currently Centura Software) connectivity features. SQL Gupta was also the RAD tool used for the development of the front end GUI. Database interaction was through standard SQL querying, and Ingres Stored Procedures. Report Generation was enabled using a sophisticated report envelope using the Ingres ReportWriter. Embedded SQLC programs supplement front end queries and stored procedures.

Platform and Software Used

• Gupta SQL 5.0 (Centura Software)
• Windows 95
• UNIX ( DEC ALPHA & DG AVIION)
• Ingres
• Visual C++ 1.5
• UNIX C
• ESQL C
