Background

My experience in the computer software industry began in 1978 with the multi-user mini-computer and quickly moved to the emerging personal computer market based on the DOS operating system. This experience continued into local area networking, Microsoft Windows, client-server technology, object-oriented development, and the Internet.


Comdex Spring 1988, Atlanta, GA
Reveille Custom Accounting Software
Microx, Inc.
I conceived and managed the design, development, and production of "Reveille Custom Accounting Software," a commercial "shrink-wrapped" accounting product for PC networks. This included both the management of and participation in coding, technical support, and dealer training. This product was developed using Revelation 'G' on a Novell network.

Byron Shindler, Regional Systems Manager
Houston Business Center
Revelation Technologies, Inc.
In November of 1988, I joined Revelation Technologies as a Technical Sales Representative. The company was interested in building a domestic field sales force based on a consultative style of selling utilizing a high degree of engineering expertise.

Working directly with the development lab, I wrote the first complete SQL demonstration application using the Gupta SQLbase server with Advanced Revelation and its new "Environmental Bonding" data integration technology.

 

In April of 1990, I was promoted to "Regional Systems Manager" and given the responsibility of building the sales support, technical support, and training services of the "Houston Business Center" which was opened in June of 1990.

In August of 1990, Revelation Technologies became the first Microsoft Business Partner representing the Microsoft SQL Server. As Revelation Technologies continued to expand the SQL integration of the Advanced Revelation product line, I attended Microsoft University for "Transact-SQL" and "SQL Database Administration" classes. I later wrote and delivered technical presentations on client-server technology using the Microsoft SQL Server, Micro Decisionware Gateway for DB2, Sybase, and NetWare SQL.

In December of 1991, Revelation Technologies introduced OpenInsight for Windows. I converted several in-house applications to the new Windows product. Using this experience, I consulted customers and prospects in understanding the paradigm shift from DOS to Windows development.

In August of 1994, I started my consulting service in Austin, Texas.  Projects include the maintenance of legacy Advanced Revelation applications, migration of Advanced Revelation Applications to OpenInsight, research on object-oriented development methods, and Internet applications.

In August of 1998, I relocated to Houston, Texas.
