Full stack web development, server development mainly using .NET, M-Files ECM custom development, installation, configuration, and training, working mainly with M-Files Value Added Resellers as a subcontractor.Developed a web portal using ASP.NET MVC that interfaces with the M-Files API to retrieve documents. The user can navigate to a web page, type in a document number, and the returned document will be immediately downloaded. Developed a product called MF Google Import that imports emails from GMail directly into M-Files. It uses the label structure that the email is sitting in to assign the proper document class and metadata. Developed many custom workflow processes utilizing features such as database queries, API access such as Google Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, etc., and nicely formatted html email notifications.

Promoted to Director of Product Development for our small team. My primary job was still engineering, but I had a greater role in shaping the product roadmap.I continued to act as ProTechnology's Director of Development during my period of self-employment on a contract basis.

My primary tasks were centered around new product development. We used an AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to develop a dispatching system that fed a back-end server process of document generation and delivery.I also was tasked with developing new modules for the back-end process in .NET (C#). I developed modules that received a data file and performed desired actions such as sending email, using various APIs such as Google Drive, Calendar, GMail, Sheets, Docs, etc, and merging data with PDF forms.

I worked directly under the Assistant Manager. I opened and closed the store, performed all cash till management, and reconciled money in inventory. I also learned really well how to work with people. I'm not going to run for the hills if you stick me in front of a customer.
