Installed, upgraded and administered a SQL-based eDiscovery document managementsuite (Ringtail Legal) and processed 3 million documents (15 million pages) by convertingthem from text files to Access database files and then loading them onto the system.Served as lead trainer for ~50 new Ringtail users.Developed template mechanisms that greatly increased conversion efficiency. This included acting as the primary technical source in developing a stand alone conversion tool (Crank Legal). The result of which reduced our processing time from 1 week to 4 hours.Consulted directly with representatives for all the litigants in the creation of document production protocols.Proposed and helped develop a Wiki-based architecture that allowed teams from all over the country to simultaneously create the trial outline and link key trial documents.

Through analysis of a large set of complex data, involving technology procurements, my conclusions enabled a multi million dollar fraud case to proceed to settlement, with a positive outcome for the plaintiffs.Analyzed invoicing and accounting paperwork to reverse engineer the accounting/tracking practice of several different companies and then used that information and email data to create a full picture of the fraudulent practices alleged in the litigation.Researched documents on the Ringtail system and found/analyzed evidence. Documented my findings on the Wiki trial outline.

Learned a suite of Cabinet design software and, in six months, completely converted the shop so that all design drawings were done digitally, which eliminated downtime resulting from absentemployees.Gathered the collective knowledge of all the skilled employees, and then programmed the software to create all the design calculations and technical drawings.Worked with owner to identify and correct financial leaks within the company.On my own time I researched and built a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) router and used it on projects that would have normally required a highly skilled woodworker.Designed and fabricated (using my CNC machine) the first dust collection system for the shop in 10 years, thus reducing the fire insurance premiums substantially.Handled all equipment troubleshooting and repairs substantially reducing overhead on newproduct replacement.

Began the business with relatively no funds, and salvaged equipment then grew the business to upgrade to a commercial mower and hire two employees who serviced high-end clients.
