Currently looking for software programming or development contract work or full-time.
Using agile programming methodology and spit-ball idea generator to update and organize this website ;P

Objective:
My experience has primarily been focused on the software life-cycle and providing solutions to business needs. Unfortunately, this has taken some time away from keeping up with current technology, programming languages, and architecture. So in effort to catch-up, I am currently focusing my efforts to improve my skillsets by expanding my portfolio.

Current WIP:
Below is a list of items that I am currently (re)learning or plan to look into:

Java
- Probably the last item to look into as I've used Java once a long time ago, so I think it is just a matter of familiarizing myself with syntax and libraries.
mongoDB
- Most likely the third item
Donald Knuth
- Read when I need a break from the other items.
Python
- Sounds fascinting. It was this or Ruby on Rails.
- My current project
- Looking up resources
- Still open to new projects; currently, a web page scraping app has been recommended.
DJango
Git
Umbraco - Last updated 2/23/2012
jquery
- A lot of interviews ask about this. Somehow it sounds like it is different from Javascript, but I figured I should add this to my list of things to do.
HTML5
CSS3
- Although published a while ago, I haven't really played with the more advanced features of CSS3. CSS4 appears to have been published but has not yet been fully implemented by an browsers.
C#, ASP.NET 4.0, MVC 2/3

Completed an interview problem
It took some time to understand how all the data integrates between the model, view, and controller, but I like the overall layout.
After working with Umbraco, I prefer to create a new site from the MVC template rather than Umbraco. Because the MVC makes templates to create, edit, and delete, the CMS portion would not be difficult. I found Umbraco too unwielding and does not completely eliminate the coding for basic users.

Below are some things that I have dabbled in:

Below are some pages created to see how search engines pick up on data related pages:
Computer Science > Programming Languages > Data:
C# Escape Characters
C# Types
HTML/CSS Color Codes
SSIS Notes on errors
Useful TSQL Queries

The goal is similar to the above pages except there is little information found in current major search engines. Below are content that I have used for a Team Software Process project.
Software Engineering:
UML info
TSPi info
Object-Oriented Development glossary info
Requirements info

This is one of my attempt to testing a few architectures on data structure and database architecture. Some concepts were used to complete my thesis. There were difficulties in finding an efficient method to get a general database architecture to work with a general decorator design pattern. It has been a while since I've looked at this but I've learned recently about object-level databases which may solve this problem.
Data info
dLastUniverse

This was just a survey that I created for a class assignment. There is little here except that it is a C# using ASP.NET. It saves it

Portfolio:
This section will contain content to projects that I have created. There will be more coming!

A domain I use to play with a hosted webserver. Dlastlee is my testbed my personal webserver.

dlastlee
Hosted from my webserver using C# and .NET 3.5. It's my attempt to create an conversation AI in an eventual attempt to build a learning algorithm. Currently on hold. http://dlastlee.com

Traceability project
This was my proof-of-concept project that I created for my master's thesis.
Topics include: Software Requirements, Aspect Oriented Programming, Design Objects (Class Diagram, Collaboration Diagram, Sequence Diagram)

iCIMS

The site was redesigned in 2008. I worked with a graphic designer to complete the project. Worked with Javascript and CSS to get the menus and videos to work properly. In hindsight: This could be easily updated to MVC3. VS Express 2010

Converted from Classics ASP to ASP.NET
CMS
- Users can add headlines, news, and events
- Users can create new marketing campaigns (i.e. Sample Campaign)
  - Each campaign can use different templates
  - inhouse marketing sources to determine which campaigns attract which users
Integration
- Data collected from website integrates with iCIMS system
Technology
- .NET 3.5
- C#
- IDE - Visual Studio Express 2005 and 2008
- Source Control - Subversion
- Database - MSSQL 2005

iCIMS

Gill Athletics
This was my very first time using C# in 2003. This took me about 3 months to learn, program, and deploy from scratch. I have also written some winforms applications with notepad and command line compiler. Although the design has been updated since then, the architecture is still being used.
Features that I developed:

CMS
- Security roles
- Admins can update categories, items, jobs
Shopping Cart
- Integrates with Gill's ERP system
Item Search
Dealer Search
- Distance algorithm was developed by my predecessor
Dealer site
- Integration with ERP system to provide dealer's their Purchase Orders and Credits
- Dealer's can view Gill's inventory
- Allow dealer's to use shopping cart but charge towards their account
Technology
- .NET 1.1
- No IDE, no formal source control
- C#
- Database - MSSQL Express

I created an inhouse CMS that allows users to updating the groups and items, shopping cart, item search, dealer search (the algorithm to calculate the distance was developed by my predecessor),
