Resume
Digital SignApp Reel:
Dynamic SignApps are hi-definition flash-based applications that display dynamic data information and/or display specific sequences based on variable data. Examples I've built include: a menu that updates items instantly based on a chef's changes to a file; a progressive that increments each time a jackpot above a certain amount hits on a range of machines; a branded "specials" board that changes restaurant name based on time-of-day; and a virtual drawing application that displays the winning name of a drawing of entries based on slot points earned. Development features of the virtual drawing include:
  • Over a dozen nested and linked SQL stored procedures (written at the code level) optimised to be called by each drawing in the span of a few seconds.
  • Conditional criteria allowing full configuration of promotion based on set of input variables (points per entry, include or exclude bonus points, include VIPs only, date and time of entry earn and activation, etc).
  • Data trail recorded for all virtual drawings for regulatory oversight and compliance.

CasinoSoft (Casino Software Solutions, L.L.C.) is a Colorado and Nevada based company that offers software that supports Marketing, Cage, and Table Games operations, usually operating in concert with an existing slot accounting database product like Aristocrat's OASIS. Primary software development of its modules is completed using C#, tied into a suite of SQL Stored Procedures.
In the Position of General Manager, I:
  • Spearheaded the deployment of web-based customer relationship management software: OASIS CRM for Quickbooks.
  • Developed the first knowledgebase of company’s software and support issues, and outlined procedures for customer issue handling and bug reports.
  • Galvanized personnel, resolving conflicts and assigning job responsibilities, focusing them on client needs.
  • Impressed client base with responsiveness, commitment to support, and problem-solving attitude.

This site, designed for professional photographer and friend Victor Sanchez, is intended to highlight his best work in an atmosphere that encourages exploration and discourages exploitation or downloading of the imagery. Site is no longer live at original address, but, with his permission, the latest version I made will open to view for you in a new tab or window. This site was designed to showcase the production abilities of RBI (Remote Broadcasts Inc.). It features photos of their equipment and work experience prominently with a pre-formatted text list of equipment for the client to update themselves. Site is no longer live at original address but the version I made will open for you in a new tab or window. This aborted web site was designed for an aborted production of "Suggestions for the Prevention of Serial Murder," by Carey Friedman. Although the show never occurred, the site's functional design was complete, as well as the poster design, and you can view the site as it left off in a new tab or window. Originally launched with almost no lead time in order to support a promotion, I built this site using only BBEdit (HTML, code-level) and Photoshop to start, and taught myself web technology as the site grew. Eventually the site included advanced layout and video. Site is gone, however a slideshow of screens of the site will open for you in a new tab or window.
