§Participated in all phases of software development, including responding to R.F.P’s, writing functional specifications, and assisting in interface and informational design.
§Created and implemented Lingo architectures using standardized variable naming conventions and custom built API’s. This allowed simultaneous work to be done on pieces of functional and interface code by multiple developers, sped up development time and eliminated redundant coding.
§Built code engines using Lingo objects, separating core application functionality from interface. By separating these pieces, multiple interfaces were dynamically fit onto engines and slight changes in functionality were handled through additional child objects. This eliminated the need for multiple Director movies, reduced revision control problems and aided bug tracking and fixing.
