* With only a short functional overview of the QualysGuard web application interface, rapidly learned and understood QualysGuard web application code and database schema design. Accomplished over 80 bug fixes and application updates in 3 months with little supervision. Helped solve and fix other team member's QualysGuard 4.0 bugs.
* Designed and implemented new Asset Search Portal feature for QualysGuard 4.0. This project required in-depth knowledge of the application database schema, as well as significant understanding of the application's programming framework. Created custom queries and optimized database queries and stored procedures in order to handle large data search needs. This provided accelerated performance for key customers that have large networks.
* Enhanced QWEB application workflow by designing and implementing a framework for managing user workflow. Integrated this workflow feature into several sections of the application, allowing customers to efficiently execute user tasks.
* Translate Marketing requirements into Feature Specification Documents by researching, designing, and documenting design changes needed in order to implement the new application features.

* Upgraded the corporate website to be more data driven, allowing for consistent display of content and a significantly decreased time to add new data to the website. In addition, this extraction of corporate website data to data files allowed for instant layout changes, as well as new features such as auto update and publication of press releases and events. This upgrade also allowed for the website to be driven by a Content Management System.
* Built, designed, and implemented the corporate intranet webserver. Configured Apache, mounted NFS and Samba shares in a Linux environment, and implemented a revolutionary "self maintainable" intranet webserver, allowing authorized department staff to maintain and immediately update their own intranet webserver content. Designed and implemented HTML, CSS styles, and PHP code that could read in data from the mounted file system directories, parse that information, and display that content in a collapsible, hierarchical columned view. In addition, created a cron job to create audit trail for new or updated content.
* Upgraded FreeScan, Sans20, and FreeMap applications' look and feel, as well as provided several code bug fixes. Researched and proposed a new application design for the FreeX applications that would significantly reduce application update time by 66%, as well as provide complete internationalization support.
* Designed a completely new public website (www.csointerchange.org) that leveraged existing corporate website design and publication techniques to decrease the website time to market.
* Maintained content for the corporate website using Bugzilla, CVS, and an rsync based content prestaging and publishing system. Took Photoshop website mockups, converted them into HTML, and built PHP class objects to implement new corporate website sections.
* Took loose Marketing requirements, refined them, and translated them into dynamic PHP web pages
