Professional Experience

DM Contact Management
Aug 2002 - Present
Chief Technology Officer

I've been with DM Contact Management since shortly after it was founded in 2001. The company has grown to a network of more than 100 websites and monthly revenue in the millions. Originally hired as an application designer, my position evolved over the years along with the technology we used. Ultimately, I became the CTO in 2007. During that ascent I've been the primary designer, architect, and coder (along with a development team managed by myself) for all of our custom built solutions including, but not limited to:

  • A full-featured CRM system with order management, inventory tracking, support case management, reports and a myriad of other features. This system is also fully integrated with 3rd party platforms fulfillment and email management.
  • A full-featured ecommerce shopping cart. It's a web cart system (standard PHP websites as well as WordPress plugins) and a secure order platform for merchant processing with layered and balanced MID distribution. This secure system is currently collecting hundreds of orders per day.
  • An industry-leading affiliate network system. This PHP platform is fully integrated with our other systems and tracks thousands of affiliates sending traffic to the core websites.

We also have dozens of internal support applications, reporting systems, and API frameworks required to work with all of our 3rd party integrations, such as email delivery, fulfillment, merchant processing and customer service. With my team, I have kept this network of systems up-to-date and secure for more than two decades. I am well respected in the company for my critical thinking and quality of work in regards to keeping the company safe, secure, and profitable.
Deeds Delivery
2015-2016
Contractor

Deeds Delivery was a small delivery company in Victoria, BC, Canada. I was contracted to migrate the company from clipboard management to a solution to not only improve their internal efficiency, but to also allow for integrations into some of the larger partnered client companies. I created a custom application website to track, manage and report on all deliveries for the drivers. It had portals for drivers, for supervisors and for the clients. It integrated with Google Maps to aid in deliveries and managed payouts to the drivers through extensive reporting. It effectively revolutionized the company and allowed for bringing on more clients that were previously unavailable to them. Even after the company was sold, the owner continued to license the software to other similar businesses.
