I performed tasks as the Software Smithy at iVenture Games. This is a title we created to encompass all of the software-related tasks I would perform at the start-up. My functions included systems management as well as software development.

While at iVenture Games I wrote a secure credit card processing system, a queue-based logging system, a functional dynamic web site encompassing individual and community sites, and wrote a client-server video game system.

The credit card processing system allows for secure storage of credit cards in a separate, encrypted database, so credit card information is not actually stored in the accounting database. The service accepts a key, and in real-time decrypts the credit card and passes the request to the pre-configured credit card vendor.

The queue-based logging system accepts variable input from multiple clients and stores the results in a database according to the queued data. A meager reporting system has been developed to pull the logged data from the database. This system allows a "send and forget" logging feature in the other software systems.

The web site is a Struts with Ajax user account system with community features such as a blog and forums. It includes secure, private, and public information, with some bits configured by each individual. There is an integrated auction system, and reporting based on interaction with the game systems. A second customer-service oriented website allows super-user access to data regardless of user-selected security, providing a mechanism for the company to ensure compliance with its user agreements and legal authorities.

The game is a real-time massive multiplayer on-line system for a pay-for-play game that accepts and pays both cashless points and cash in a skill-based game. The client and server are both written as robust Java applications.

While in the company's Engineering department I created interactive and automatic software for statistical analysis of potential gambling games. My duties also included porting proprietary DOS network software to a Win32 environment, and providing network designs to the Engineering, Operations, and MIS departments for both the LAN and WAN environments.

In the fall of 1996, I moved to the company's MIS department to assist in the facilitation of the Engineering designed network, and installation and use of the SQL Server-based accounting package. I prepared and implemented Windows NT as their primary server environment, all but removing Novell from use. This work included coordinating three Windows NT domains, adding an SQL Server-based accounting package, and configuring their initial Intranet/Internet environment.

I implemented a simple SNMP monitoring program to provide advance troubleshooting for their three network segmentation points, the WAN routers between the LANs, on the servers, and to the Internet.

This work involved coordinating the corporate headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and the main sales office in Las Vegas, Nevada. During my time with the MIS department, the company's computer resources boomed from two servers and approximately 30 workstations to 13 servers and over 100 workstations.

I created software for use over the Internet employing HTML 3.0 with Microsoft and Netscape extensions, Java, JavaScript, and CGI using ASP and PERL. All of the PC software development was done in C++ using a mix of the Borland C++, Symantec C++, and MSVC compilers for both DOS and Windows (using the Win32 SDK and API). Additional programming was done using Microsoft Access as both a stand-alone environment and an SQL Server front end.

I developed programs to assist hearing instrument dispensers in using and programming digital hearing instruments. The work involved serial communications with custom device-controlling hardware as well as standard industry equipment. I began developing video interface for capture and telecommunications software. I traveled to Europe in cooperation with international hearing instrument software standardization committees. I assisted the office management programmers with their interface to the device-controlling software. I also assisted the customer support staff with operating system configuration and troubleshooting. I worked with the corporate networking department to develop and configure internal and external services on our internal networks and Internet connection.

I did all of the development in C++ using a mix of the Borland C++, MSVC, and Symantec C++ compilers for both DOS and Windows (Win16 and Win32/Win32s). I developed office management interfaces with FoxPro and Visual Basic. Experiments in cross-platform porting using "Oak" were successful with our user interfaces, but serial communications were lacking.

Programmed for, used, and administered Novell, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT hosted networks.
