| Personal
Project for Personal Improvement and potential World Domination |
Responding to my son Travis's suggestion, I have created an Android App we call FONE PHINDER. The application (available for download here)offers One Step silencing (i.e. 'Meeting Mode'), then One Step Recovery to 'Normal Mode'. But the interesting wrinkle is that you can SMS Text Msg a personalized wake-up word or phrase to a "lost" (and silenced!) phone -- the phone will then start shrieking in ever increasing volume. There are 6 sounds available, each one more annoying than the last. I've prepared a one-page PDF which can be retrieved here. |
| Omnigon
Project for hourly fee |
I have been asked to design and develop the "iris portion" of this company's endeavor to resurrect the 'Registered Traveler' program. Work involves developing an API to simplify the care and feeding of an Iris Camera (specifically an Iris ID System's camera to start.) I am creating a wrapper which collapses the Iris ID System's SDK into a few calls. |
| Iris ID Systems
Project for hourly fee |
Using my recently (re) honed JAVA skills (see item below regarding Android) I was asked to develop a application which allowed the Active-X DLL if the iCamTD100 SDK to be accessed from JAVA. I evaluated both free and paid tools to assist in the marshaling of the data across the COM boundary to the JNI and wrote test code to illustrate how to effectively connect the pieces and create iris images, etc. acquired from the SDK side. I used the NetBeans IDE. |
| Flat Rock Playhouse
TSS |
The Flat Rock Playhouse, the State Theater of North Carolina, has adopted TSS as their Ticket Selling solution and has asked that a number of new, custom modules be provided as well. I will be endeavoring to add a number of custom interfaces that will provide not only ticket selling functionality but also sophisticated applications for marketing, their youth theater, and development. One of the newest modules that shall come out of this collaboration is TSS MOBILE which targets a netback style device for providing "on-the-move" Show Night functions most desired by House Managers. This new program will also provide for TICKET SCANNING at the door giving the most accurate accounting of show attendance. |
| Personal
(Projects for pleasure and personal improvement) |
I have been delving into the Android Operating System and the Motorola Droid phone. I have been experimenting with the Eclipse and NetBeans development and debugging environments to become comfortable enough to develop a Droid based application should the need arise. Android is a Java based environment and the framework is structurally similar to dotNet… though the methods and properties have very little in common. |
| Comm-Works
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Comm-Works is the new parent company of Harbor Technologies, Inc. As you will see farther below, I have done many projects for Harbor over the years. Comm-Works has invited me to assist with a variety of similar projects as well as help design and implement a much longer term automation process. I will detail them here as they become concluded. |
| Panasonic and Mellon Bank (NYC)
(Projects for fixed and hourly fee) |
Another round of enhancements of the web-based Iris Enroll Utility. In this project many of the ADMINISTRATIVE functions that can be accessed via the SDK were added. |
| Harbor-CommWorks
(Projects for hourly fee) |
The fun continues at Harbor (and many thanks for that!) More Web-based portals, more specials to create XLSes for specific purposes and lots of general improvements to their Clientele Trouble Ticketing System. |
| Panasonic and Mellon Bank (NYC)
(Projects for fixed and hourly fee) |
Significant enhancements of the web-based Iris Enroll Utility as expressed by Panasonic and their customer, Mellon Bank. One specific enhancement was to include data capture from an HID (iClass) proximity card to populate data fields presented during Enroll. |
| Panasonic and Lehman Brothers
(Projects for hourly fee) |
As part of a world-wide introduction of the web-based Iris Enroll Utility Sourcecode was asked to develop significant enhancements as expressed by Panasonic and their customer, Lehman Brothers. |
| Harbor (now, a CommWorks Company)
(Projects for hourly fee) |
The fun never ends at Harbor... Lately I have been involved in writing several new infrastructure utilities. One utility monitors a mailbox to parse messages whose data is then used to update the trouble ticketing ("Clientele") MSSQL database. Another helps to manage on-site engineers by utilizing "text message" cell phone technology to keep the engineer and Clientele database in sync. And yet another utility gathers a variety of data from the Clientele database to present as EXCEL(tm) spreadsheets; the spreadsheets are useful in that they organize the Clientele data into reasonable forms where normally a staff member would be required to work through many screens, gathering the information as they go. |
| Sourcecode, LLC. releases TSS FREE and PRO versions | The TSS (Ticket Selling Software) suite is now offered in 2 ways... TSS FREE targeting small community and high school or college theaters, and PRO which includes ALL the features of TSS. TSS FREE is not crippled; it will allow the target venues to operate a successful, multi-station box office. The PRO version simply includes features more likely required by a larger operation. The newly designed TSS website includes a page illustrating the differences between the two versions. |
| Sourcecode, LLC. releases TSSDonor | The TSS (Ticket Selling Software) suite now includes a brand new interface to manage donations. The databases used for TSS and Donor interact seamlessly to accept, track, and report on donations made to your organization. Using the same straightforward, easy-to-understand point-and-click mechanisms found throughout TSS. |
| William Wrigley Corp
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Developed an ACCESS database to contain data associated with international product registration information previously held in an Excel(tm) spreadsheet. The database is viewed and data added and modified via a new desktop application written in VB.Net A built-in utility helps to import new project data from spreadsheets and reports written out to spreadsheets help to alert when important documents (i.e. Patents and various certifications) are needed, have been requested and maybe overdue. |
| Thumbhere
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Developed a web based interface to facilitate service subscription activity as well as subscriber services provided by the website. I also participated in the design and implementation of the MySQL database used to house the data. |
| Fox Marketing Transit Tix
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Developed Transit Tix Bus Transportation Kiosk software including touch screen, credit card authorization, and receipt and boarding pass thermal printing. These systems are first being placed in Atlantic City casinos to provide completely self-directed purchases of one-way and round-trip bus tickets to all major metropolitan destinations in NJ, NY, and PA from Atlantic City. I have also recently added a CUSTOMER PORTAL and CASINO PORTAL. These portals are web based interfaces which allow the carriers and casinos to review the transactions captured in the MySQL database. The portal offers a variety of pre-configured reports to make the experience fast and easy. |
| Panasonic Iris Biometric
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Developed "Iris Biometric Demonstration Kiosk" software offering touch screen functionality that provided a video, a few screens describing the iris biometric, and a live, unattended demo of the ET330 Iris Camera System. |
| Sourcecode, LLC. TSS New Release and Announcement
TSS and 'TSS-Just Tickets' |
Sourcecode has released a brand new version of its TSS (Ticket Selling Software.) Release 5 contains many new enhancements and is written completely in VB.Net 2005.
Driven by demand, I have also created TSS-Just Tickets for anyone who wants to simply print and track blocks of custom thermal tickets. This program comes with a ticket editor to create templates and provides tracking and reporting on tickets printed, returned, and revenue. |
| LG Electronics
(Project for hourly fee) |
Sourcecode developed a VB.Net desktop application for LG demonstrating the LG-iCAM4000 Iris Biometric camera and HID iClass Smart Cards. The cards are used to store the enrolled iris codes allowing a verification process to be completely database independent. |
| Harbor Technologies, Inc.
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Sourcecode has been contracted to migrate Harbor's trouble ticketing system (called "Clientele" from Epicor) from their current version of 7.1 to the latest version 8.4.1. This project involves both a data and GUI, particularly the customizations that have been added over the years. The migration effort includes significant re-coding of the customizations from the current proprietary Clientele environment to VB.Net. |
| Panasonic and Lehman Brothers
(Projects for hourly fee) |
After providing additional features to the browser-based Iris Enroll Utility Sourcecode developed for Panasonic, their customer, Lehman Brothers, will be expanding the use of this application worldwide. |
| IPC, Inc
(AD HOC consulting as required) |
Sourcecode was asked to arrange AD HOC consulting for IPC. Our assistance will be called for architecture, design, and implementation strategy sessions for a variety of ongoing projects. Established involvement will include database replication issues, new web and desktop applications, as well as migration and enhancement of existing web and desktop applications. |
| IPC, Inc
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Complete design and development of dotNet desktop and web applications in order to establish and maintain TCP/IP communications with one or more of IPC's 911 Emergency Call Center switches. This project will result in a new product to be a "trusted source" for statistics and events regarding the resources and personnel associated with the switch's activities. This project is a multi-faceted, real-time environment requiring development of communications, SQL database development and interaction, GUI interfaces, and statistical reporting with columnar and graphic output. |
| Site-Blauvelt Engineering, Inc
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Complete design and development of a dotNet desktop application automating the transfer of data from the company's financial databases into an Excel spreadsheet, saving time and eliminating all human error. |
| Panasonic
(Projects for hourly fee) |
Complete design and development of a secure ASP.Net, browser-based Iris Enroll Utility providing storage, retrieval and manipulation of Enrollee personal information, iris and facial images, and binary iris data.
This development required numerous 'workarounds' due to limitations between the Panasonic Biometric-Camera and SDK interfaces and the access restrictions placed on ASP.Net, server-side code modules. |
| Harbor Technologies, Inc.
(Project for hourly fee) |
Developed a web-based (ASP.Net) 'Customer Portal' to allow external customers to retrieve information regarding Purchase Order Status and many other details combined from within several of Harbor's internal databases. The design and implementation includes facilities for customer authentication (and data isolation so that one customer may never see another's) and a variety of detailed and rolled-up reports giving up-to-the-minute status regarding the order being investigated. |

| Sourcecode Proprietary product...
(speculation) |
Having been involved in the LRPAC summer series of events (see farther below), it became obvious that the ticket selling software they were using was cumbersome and not terribly intuitive. I am endeavoring to write
a ticket selling program (and all of its accompanying Administrative requirements) from scratch.
This package is currently being used by the LRPAC and may be offered for sale (in order to recoup...)
The program provides easy, point-and-click mechanisms for creating shows and performances, creating 'packages' (groups of shows bundled together at a reduced price), selecting and selling seats, creating the theater seating charts, assigning price codes, etc. etc. etc. And just to make it even more interesting, I have written an internet interface which will allow real-time seat selection and ticket purchasing over the internet. Stay Tuned... |

Sourcecode is working cooperatively with an industry leader to provide PC-based "Value Calculator"s. Field surveys are developed to gather specific market information associated with their customer's desire to understand the potential for new initiatives. Sourcecode helps to develop an 'enclosed' database as well as the GUI which strives to evaluate real-time responses against the market drivers previously captured. At this time Sourcecode is under contract for 4 of these tools. |
| Chicago Car Auctions -
(Project for fee) |
This was an automation project migrating a manual system for selling automobiles in private auction to a PC-based operation. A database was designed to capture buying and selling dealer information as well as automobile specifics. The GUI provided aspects of database administration and real-time auction facilitation. The user can set and then modify the order in which the dealers are presented at the auction. Then, as cars are sold, documents associated with invoicing and fee assessment are generated by the system. |
| Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center -
(Project for free, ![]() |
The Performing Arts Center is a brand new, 1500 seat, state-of-the-art theater located on the Cherokee High School property.
As a part of a small group of volunteers, I was asked to help with the "computer-ish" aspects of the endeavor to bring "quality", family entertainment to the theater during the summer months. This effort, with the moniker "The SummerStage Series", will bring 6 broadway quality performances this year.
My efforts included securing the 'domain names', developing and maintaining the website as well as assisting with ticket boxoffice software, internet ticket sales, and credit card sales. One Shot From Inside The Theater
