• FileMaker Developer

  DataForce ISP

  (Public Company; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)

  September 1999 — September 2000 (1 year 1 month)

  FileMaker developer responsible for many projects for this consulting company. Learned a lot about how (not) to deal with customers, billing, and project management.

• Admin Assist and FileMaker developer

  Williams Company

  (Public Company; 51-200 employees; Construction industry)

  May 1994 — May 1999 (5 years 1 month)

  Supported project managers, but really developed a FileMaker Pro database to manage construction projects. Typing envelopes and contracts on a typewriter was not acceptable to me. Too caveman-y. It was 1994, for Pete's sake! We had computers in every office! And a network! And email! Sheesh.

• Administrative Assistant and FileMaker Developer

  The Walt Disney Company

  (Public Company; DIS; Entertainment industry)

  September 1991 — April 1994 (2 years 8 months)

  Worked with the architects and designers of the town of Celebration, on the programming team for the Disney Institute, and for the document administration (sales and financing) department for the Disney Vacation Club. Began developing in FileMaker for the Disney Institute.
