Experience 6/1997- Present LoeblCom Services Consulting I continuously work on projects and short term projects for various customers in various fields of service. I architect and program computer related solutions for these small companies. Currently, I am working on redesigning an Access database to a MySQL/PHP intranet solution for a surgical management company. I am also involved with developing analysis tools for an automotive advertising company. 10/2013-5/2014 ExxonMobil / Wisemen Consulting The Exxon project involved developing a SQL database of "Qualified Manufacturers" accessible globally through the corporate intranet site. I designed the database using MS Access first, then upgraded to a SQL Server database, and the QML intranet site was designed using ASP, HTML, JQuery, CSS and AJAX. The initial database was an Access database, but as the user requirements grew, the SQL Server/Intranet solution was a better option. I utilized the following technologies at this project: Access database design and development, SQL Server, ASP, Sharepoint, Infopath, and VBA 4/2013-7/2013 Centerpoint Energy / Wisemen Consulting This was a short term project where my assignment was to build an MS Access database to replace the existing Excel file which managed projects. The database was a mixture of regular database design, VBA, and Excel Automation. 10/2010-3/2013 Automotive Advertising This is very much different than my past endeavors. This was a part time endeavor until 1/2012, when it became full time. I took a non functional website, and using PHP and MySQL, transformed it to a lucrative web property. I designed the database with MySQL and programmed its functionality with PHP. For administration I use phpmyadmin and MS Access. I built a website interactive program with the Python programming language which resides on several Ubuntu/Linux based machines, which I also administer. 5/2011-1/2012 Enterprise Products / Comsys Consultant Houston/Texas Designed and developed a fully functional Pipeline Estimating Program in Microsoft Access. The program has the ability to input natural gas pipeline information, export and import from MS Excel, and produce managerial decision reports. 10/2010-4/2011 Friedkin Companies / Everfind Consultant Houston/Texas Work included enhancing, revising, and adding to an Access database. Technologies used were Access 2007 and VBA. This database is used primarily to tracks overfund check payments. The database determines a dealer s aging payments and determines whether checks of high value need to be submitted to them. All objects, tables, queries, forms, reports, and modules were adjusted.

9/2008-10/2010 -Geokinetics / Addison Search Consultant Houston/Texas I developed a template using VBA code in Excel to put the various worksheets in an Excel Fee Build Up into an acceptable format for upload into an Oracle database system. I worked closely with the members of the Oracle team to develop this acceptable format. This FBU is used in various countries around the world. The uploader program is used to upload North American, Latin American, and Australian exploration projects into Oracle which allows for a better cost analysis to take place which in turn saves the company millions of dollars and makes them more competitive in their bidding processes. 6/2008-6/2009 -Shell Oil & Gas / Disys Consultant Houston/Texas I was called back to Shell for additional modifications to databases I had built earlier in 2008. Additional reports were added to report information with an Access database. Charts and pivot tables are formulated with Microsoft Excel. Again I was called back on a part time basis to enhance the database application I originally built. 4/2008-10/2008 - Gulf States Toyota/ Everfind Consultant Houston/Texas Duties included redesigning a current parts database for the main parts ordering department of the company. I redesigned a current Access and made it more efficient and added enhancements which will make the company more revenue in the future. I created historical reports which will allow for better decision making based on past decisions. Changes made were very noticeable and implemented immediately. The changes made were so desirable that my name was given to other s in the company with data needs, and I am currently working on an Excel/Access project which processes (inserts relevant financial data based on each department, from a SQL database) and saves a financial spreadsheet based on the department in an Access table. The input data for each department will be received using VBA and inserted into an Access table where it can be further analyzed and inserted into an Oracle database. 9/2007-2/28/2008 - Shell Oil & Gas / Disys Consultant Houston/Texas Duties included redesigning and building an Inventory database for the Shell Chemicals Finance Department. Data is downloaded from SAP into Excel and also collected from different sources then it is imported into an Access database via a user interface. Users have different access rights based on their password. Summary financial reports can be generated from the database based on region, company, product business unit, main product group, and others. Customized SQL based on user selection is produced and results are used for various reports and charts. This database can produce Excel charts with dual axes based on user selection. Also data can be exported to Excel and analyzed in a pivot table format. Some of the charts and reports this database can produce are as follows: PBU Summary Enterprise Summary Trend (volume, $/mt) by Region Trend (volume, $/mt) by Finished Product Trend (volume, $/mt) by Other & WIP types Trend (volume, $/mt) by Product Hierarchy Page 3 of 7
Waterfall for Inventory Change Value Trend of Inventory Turns Trend of Inventory DIO Trend of Inventory Stock Type Trend (volume, targets) by Region Trend (volume, targets) by Finished Product Trend (volume, targets) by Other & WIP types Trend (volume, targets) by Product Hierarchy Selection can be made by a date range and can be archived based on selection. The information that is gathered from these reports save the Shell corporation millions of dollars based on wise financial conclusions gathered from the data being in one area. This database has its own 26+ page documentation to demonstrate how to use the application. I was also in charge of migrating and expanding a current Excel application to a Microsoft Access platform. Since the Inventory Database was so successful, my way of generating charts was standardized. The application is known as the Cost to Serve application. This database allows the importing of SAP data from 4 different sources into an Access database. Customized SQL based on user selection is produced and results are used for various reports and charts. Data is from the balance sheet, GL, PL, as well as the cost centers. Users are allowed to run maintenance or just run reports based on their password. By analyzing the costs associated with each category, trends can be realized and cost savings can be had. The Shell corporation will save millions of dollars through the ability to analyze their current expenditures and forecasting potential financial pitfalls. The data can be analyzed according to 3 different models. Each model has its own set of categories and subcategories. The results it produces can be analyzed in chart or report format. Some of the reports and charts that can be produced are: Detail By Region Enterprise Detail By Product Hierarchy Unit Cost by Product Hierarchy Unit Cost by Category Groupings Index by Product Hierarchy Index by Category Waterfall by Category Unit Cost By Region Chart Unit Cost By Type Chart Data has the ability to be archived based on user selection and reports or charts can be made based on this archive if necessary. I was also part of a project team, and many meetings, to decommission an antiquated data system. Data was held in an Oracle database and an Access database was build to handle the reporting needs that may be required by taxing authorities. I successfully created an Oracle to Access link and created dynamic reports from that data. 11/2001-7/27/2007 Perspective Solutions Group Houston/Texas Full Time Contractor for CenterPoint Energy, Major Underground Department Page 4 of 7
Duties included performing data analysis, reporting and information management, as well as process improvement. The following list includes some of my accomplishments: I implemented a Work Order Management Database System. This is an Access database which uses data from SAP transactions to formulate "intelligent" reports. The reports share important awareness data with the employees to whom the work orders belong. I implemented an Equipment Management database. This database uses data from SAP transactions to give at a glance insight to which equipment is in stock, on order, pending removal from the field, and pending on a current order. This report gives awareness to when a particular piece of material may become in short supply so proper preparations may be made to acquire more in a time conscience manner. I implemented a contractor inspection website request form using ASP, HTML, and XML technologies as the front-end interface, and SQL Server on the back-end database. This website, located at http://www.centerpointenergy.com/inspection, allows contractors to make requests for inspections from their web browser. This enhances the inspection request process, normally handled by phone, by reducing errors due to incomplete or misunderstood information. Information is entered at the website portal, validated by the job number, then results are emailed and sent by pager to the respective employee handling the job. I implemented the Major Underground Department intranet using ASP and HTML technologies. The purpose of this site is to centralize storage of PDF formatted work order reports and inventory reports, as well as to provide a point for departmental communication. I designed and implemented the BallPark Estimates database application (BallParkEstimates.mdb) which aids in accurately estimating customer jobs. This is an Access database and produces Excel reports. I redesigned 2 Quattro Pro Applications to an MS Excel Format, the Motor Start Application and the Voltage Drop Application (VoltageDrop.xls). I implemented a Transformer Load Management Database System. This database holds Transformer load information compiled since March, 2001 to June 2007. The purpose of this database is to monitor the history of a transformer at certain GLNs and Work Centers. Excessive loading could cause problems for the customer. These problem areas are being notated in the database. I have been able to develop various accounting reports from MS Access queries using SAP data. These reports include among others, Plan vs. Actual Cost Reports, Cost Element reports, 5 year Moving Average reports, Material Usage reports. I used ASP.Net to build a web driven Standard Requested Service Utility, to upgrade the MUDG Intranet from ASP. These access stored procedures. I used SQL Server to build an Inspection Website, Relay Monitoring, which both have email capabilities, and Relay Monitoring which loops through hundreds of tables using a SQL query. I used XML on the Inspection Website to validate Work Order numbers. I used VB.net to modify Parijat customizable software. I used Excel and Access VBA to manipulate data. I used Access to build the MUDG Vehicles database, Storm Power Outage Tracking System, Cable Management Database, UDG_Events Database, MUDG Metrics Scorecard Database, MUDG_EmployeeSurvey Database, CellPhoneUsage Database, MUDG_Vehicles Database, MUDG_EmployeeSurvey Database, ReconcileWorkCenters Database, BallPark Estimates Page 5 of 7

A number of projects included designing databases in MS Access to hold data relevant to the business. I also build analysis tools using VBA coding. I currently administer at website involved with automotive advertising using web technologies like PHP with a database backend of MySQL. I did build a website for Galveston Housing Authority using HTML and CSS techologies, viewable at www.galvestonhousingauthority.org When a MS Access database becomes operationally slow or needs to be upgraded to MS SQL Server, LoeblCom Services has been involved with the upgrade. I have worked to upgrade a database holding doctor information, and real estate information to MS SQL Server. At Aspen Manufacturing I used Excel VBA to write code to compare two files and produce an output of results based on the results. At the Gustafson Group, I upgraded an Access 97 database to Access 2000, and then to a SQL Server. I set up groups that each employee could be assigned to. I built tables and migrated data to the SQL server. I also built queries and stored procedures where necessary to create a view or to modify the data. I have worked with various technologies as I have had the need, including, HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL Server, Access, Excel, Word, PHP, and MySQL. 12/1997-11/2001 Computer Technology Research Education Center Houston / Texas Microsoft Certified Solution Developer Software Trainer incorporating the Microsoft Office Suite: Access, Excel, Word, PowerPoint.
