![EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
StrategicWEALTH (Consulting Client) ( www.getstrategicwealth.com) (Nov 2007 - Present)
Network Teardown/Rebuild [Windows Server 2008, Exchange 2007, Office Sharepoint 2007]
Designed, and built a new windows network and domain for swealth, who had existed previously on a problematic
installation of MS Windows Small Biz Server 2003, which has known Active Directory issues, and were preventing normal
operation of the network, as well as creating many transient or “phantom” issues. I was able to put up Server 08,
Exchange 2007, integrate the existing MOSS installation, and migrate all user profiling to Server 08. Additionally, all
existing MOSS user accounts were migrated in the database to match the newly created SID’s created for the newly
created AD accounts. This accomplished a transparent migration for the end users, and made sure, all of their sharepoint
was available when logged in with their new accounts.

Market Square Solutions ( www.MyDealerBroadcast.com) (Nov 2008 - Present)
Data Integration Services [C#, SQL Server, FTP, ZIP, SSIS]
Designed, and built a Data Integration engine in the form of a Windows Service, which is responsible for completely
automating all data acquisition and processing as well as provide human directives and cues where needed. Verbose SQL
logging and elapsed times are recorded for all operations, offering a telemetric view of what happens with the database,
and its effects on the system. Email alerts are sent to email aliases detailing major operational events. Additionally the
service performs business hours optimized scheduling, only running daily processes as late , off-hours as possible, and
further only running weekly processes on weekends, late off-hours. The service executes a number of SQL functions, as
well as downloading and decoding zipped data from various FTP sites, and executes a series of complex SSIS packages.
Desktop Alerter [C#, WinForms, SQL Server]
Designed a desktop “Alerter” application to be deployed as part of the MyDealerBroadcast offering. As marketing and
real-time lead alerts are being sent for an organization, this desktop app fades them in as small windows
(deterministically), just as Outlook does for new mail. The application is One-Click-Published and has built-in registration
to associate the application with the correct customer. The semi opaque, bubble windows are actually color coded
(backcolor/gradient) to the “temperature” of the lead. For example if the alerter sees that a particular lead has opened
the marketing email, then clicked the vehicle video, then clicked the 360 exterior view, then clicked the 360 interior
view, then clicked inventory, then we can infer this is a “hot lead” and the bubble window would show a tomato red
backcolor, where as a lead the simply opened the marketing email, gets a less opaque, whitish backcolor. As a solution
this application offers an at-a-glance view of what is happening with their electronic leads, giving Sales Mgmt a powerful
tool to identify issues with the sales cycle.
SynQ Solutions (formerly Imaging Technologies) 2006-Nov 2008
Credit Card Platform [VB.NET, SQL Server, XML, Web Services]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/matthewhadamsprivate-12506112357733-phpapp03/85/Matthew-H-Adams-Resume-3-320.jpg)
![ Designed and built a PCI compliant Credit Card Vault, and Processing Engine that integrates with SynQ’s Shipping
Manifest system, allowing automated completion of CC authorizations made from a front end shopping cart, upon
shipping. Additionally it provides web services for various front end systems to store, authorize, and charge cards,
initially. All stored credit card data is strongly encrypted, and all operations post storing a card are made by using a 128-
bit token. The processing engine maintains a token based status for a transaction, and progresses it thru to completion.
The front end systems call Web Services over SSL, possess a client certificate, and have an IP within a specified subnet.
PIMS (Production Information Management System) [VB.NET, SQL Server, XML, Web Services, XPIF, JDF]
Designed and in development alongside my longtime friend and colleague, Daniel S Mount, this is a total production
automation platform, designed to provide an internal “web-to-print” and job management functionality, as well as
managing incoming jobs, print submission, tracking, reporting, and a host of other production environment metrics.
At a high level, PIMS provides an automated interface for Demand Print type applications to submit documents for
print with or without printer instructions, directly from the application itself. It features a console I wrote, which I
consider the best UI I have written to date. It allows drag and drop submission of hierarchically submitted jobs, at any
level, to any printer, at any location. The interface provides a very complex set of features, but this scenario
eliminates dozens of “human capital” steps, previously required, which left much open to interpretation, and left
many opportunities for mistakes. PIMS takes on these workflows, and allows production to do what they are best at,
producing.
SharePoint Advocate [Microsoft Office SharePoint Server]
Implemented SharePoint within the enterprise as a multi-purposed intranet, task manager, incident reporting, knowledge
base, search engine, document management, and scheduling system. Strongly advocated SharePoint adoption as a
collaboration and management tool, eliminating the issues associated with a group of people managing complex
processes by emailing documents back and forth, creating a document versioning and communication nightmare.
SharePoint offers a robust platform for achieving true inter-organization efficiency. SharePoint has greatly improved
communication among teams, and made collaboration a reality.
SSO (Single Sign On) [VB.NET, Oasis, SAML, SQL Server, XML, Web Services]
As part of a client partnership with JP Morgan Chase, developed a library of Web Services capable of receiving SAML
(Oasis) assertions and responses from JPM Chase, used for a Single Sign On federation between Chase and other vendors.
The service decrypts, decodes, and checks the certificate used to sign the request, and return the results as an object.
Front End Webs then consume this object, and use this data to impersonate logins to the web application, making it a
seamless web page load to the end user. SynQ granted Chase a limited general license to use this SSO gate with other
vendors they do business with.
American Cancer Society Clinical Trials [VB.NET, SQL Server, XML, XSLT, Web Services, ADS]
Designed, directed development, and implemented a solution to exchange an XML document content library via web
services, updated hourly, between SynQ and a third party vendor (Coalition of Cancer Cooperatives Group). This system
receives up to date document content used to render Clinical Trials books for the American Cancer Society. The incoming
document content is XML which is then transformed using XSL and stored in a database as HTML. SynQ then receives
requests for Clinical Trial books, made up of the content exchanged between the libraries. These books outline a set of
Clinical Trials according to information the caller provided ACS during a cancer screening.
BioMetric Security [VB.NET, SQL Server, XML, Web Services, GRFinger]
Designed and built a BioMetric Security Library based on GRFinger.dll. This application provided for self service
enrollment via fingerprint, and rights and roles management based on the biometric login. Similar to SSO, after verifying
the identity, the library returns an object containing all the rights, roles, and security data needed for the host
application to authenticate a user.
Document Rendering Web Services [VB.NET, SQL Server, XML, Web Services, iSharp, ExpertPDF]
Designed and built a library of Web Services that support various methods of form-filling, PDF compilation, PDF
manipulation, PDF Splitting, Annotating, and automated PDF generation from various sources such as Jpeg, TIFF, HTTP,
raw HTML and Word documents. The purpose was to extend our on-the-fly document rendering capabilities, and replace
products like Adobe Document Server, and Crystal Enterprise.
NotiFi [VB.NET, SQL Server, XML, HTML]
Designed and built a service based, Enterprise level email alerting system, complete with an email template design editor
for HTML formatted emails going out to clients. This system is the gateway for all outgoing automated email messaging,
including Web Order Confirmations, Credit Card Sales, Orders Shipped Notification, Solicitation Notifications, Digital
Goods Retrieval, Package Tracking and virtually any other email based messaging we may choose to implement. Internal
customers are able to design the email template to spec using the design surface, and pick and choose from a set of
“blocks” to be included in the outgoing message. This gives the program management the ability to design and deploy
outgoing communications templates without developer intervention. These email templates are typically branded for
that client including Logos, colors, fonts, type sizes, verbiage, and a standard set of variable data fields. This application
brings additional value organizationally in that we have a consolidated platform for handling customer facing
communications, and keeping these messages within our own corporate standards for look and feel. The primary
consumer of this platform is the PromoNet line of business platforms. NotiFi on a typical day dispatches anywhere from a
few thousand to tens of thousands of messages.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/matthewhadamsprivate-12506112357733-phpapp03/85/Matthew-H-Adams-Resume-4-320.jpg)
![Imaging Technologies 1998-2006
Cingular Kit-In-A-Book [VB 6.0, SQL Server, Adobe Document Server, Crystal Enterprise]
Designed and built a document rendering solution used to support the company’s largest, most automated and profitable
program, ever. Essentially this system read data for new Cingular Wireless subscribers supplied transactionally each
hour, and produced a 15-45 page, completely custom bound PDF book (printed and email), detailing their billing info,
calling plan, handset features and instructions, coverage area, voice mail, and even included targeted coupons and
offers, all based on the subscriber’s data. A few interesting facts: There were 24 different possible book versions. On
average, Cingular was sending us 25-35,000 new subscribers per day. At retirement, it had produced more than 18
million books. Pre .NET, this solution was developed as a Visual Basic 6.0/SQL Server application that could be loaded on
as many client machines as we had available, and were able to distribute work amongst themselves in a load balanced
fashion. From receipt of data, to shipping a physical book, the first touch made by a human was when the printer spit out
a batch of completed, bound books.
Cingular Kit-In-A-Book Automated Scanner [VB.NET, RS232, SQL Server]
An integration between .NET programming PLC chips, and a physical machine, this application was a touch-screen
windows application used to control and drive a machine whose purpose is to simultaneously insert Cingular KITB books
into envelopes, and scan the book’s barcode, which then automatically manifested the order, and noted the package as
shipped. Using industrial strength barcode scanners, the application could, stop, start, pause, and control the machine
my issuing commands via RS232 to the machine’s PLC controller.
POA (Promotional Ordering Agent) [VB 6.0, SQL Server]
Affectionately referred to as the “Stuffer”, this application is a piece of middleware I designed to bridge raw item level
order data from promotional systems (PromoNet) to actual Orders in our Great Plains accounting system, for fulfillment.
The stuffer also processes a very complex set of business rules deciding how to best package bulk orders, which orders to
process first based on geocentric metrics, kitted orders, and even in which sequence to print the resulting work orders.
The real-world end to this application is a warehouse full of hundreds of pickers and packers waiting to build and ship a
time-sensitive order, to get it on site in time to coincide with a national promotion. To date, it has created more than
35+ million packages, and correctly shipped them to their destination.
