In this role I was awarded the Engineer of the year.My daily tasks included javascript, asp, sql, .net/c#, and sometimes python.

With the demise of @Home Network (and Excite@Home), SupportSoft (then Support.com) picked me up to lead successful deployments of the SupportSoft technology to other Broadband Service Providers around the world. I visited half a dozen countries, executed pilots, proofs of concept, and full scale deployments which are still active today include Telia, UPC, Charter Communications, Time Warner Cable, SBC, and BellSouth to name a few. To accomplish the goals of our biggest customers and close multi-million dollar deals, using the knowledge gained from years with @Home I redesigned our product (the troubleshooting and diagnostics engine) in the field and then later rolled those changes back into the core out-of-box product.My daily tasks included javascript, asp, sql, .net/c#, and sometimes python.In this role I developed and deployed software and systems used by over a million users in several countries.

Furthering my contributions to the @Home call center and user base in general, I moved into the knowledge base team to write, test and manage technical support content for the Excite@Home self help portal and internal knowledge base. We created a custom video studio to record how-to and troubleshooting videos published to the help site. I deployed and managed SupportSoft technologies in three countries available to hundreds of thousands of users in multiple languages. We designed diagnostic flows for troubleshooting many major problems with the @Home service, and then automated them.

Initially a technical support representative, later a lead, I was responsible for troubleshooting customer problems related to the @Home Network Cable Internet and affiliated ISPs including Cox, Comcast, and Charter. After mastering the processes for troubleshooting connectivity problems, I became the go-to guy for advice and escalations on tough and systematic problems. As a leading member of the organization I was responsible for a significant portion of our knowledge base, the essential system for all tiers of support.In this role I was responsible for assisting thousands of customers, and dozens of technicians.

Reporting directly to the CEO and responsible for all information systems, I managed a legacy serial network connected to an HP/UX mainframe which utilized a highly customized CIMPRO (Business Basic) application suite. Ran sales reports, wrote new sales reports, debugged, and extended applications and provided technical support for local and remote employees.Built a Windows network with an Access/VB database parallel to the mainframe. Implemented bi-directional data exchange between systems allowing us to shift our primary reporting system from the mainframe onto the new desktop endpoints. Built and deployed a dozen desktop computers with a custom sales application which reduced the time to run the standard day to day reports from hours to minutes... I was able to leave on time after that. ;)In this role I helped individuals one to one, and began building systems for users to help themselves.
