Responsible for all phases of graphic design, layout, navigation, planning, coordination, code development and maintenance for the following applications:

The application is used internally and by clients in the field. It was created using Lotus Notes and Domino Designer, Formulas and Lotus script for web applications, Dreamweaver, DHTML and Javascript.
· Developed an internal XML based Web Portal Application which allowed for a more reliable, professional and efficient environment for viewing and comparing the Control Center's multiple data resources. The main section of the portal utilized XML and XSLT with javascript to create dynamic html pages that compare multiple Notes and SQL data sources of pipeline flows and pressures as well as product tank levels. The XML was written to file by a Notes Agent which was then to edited and debugged. Though the portal was originally intended to be incorporated as a piece of a larger 3rd party Portal product, it ended up being so robust that it was implemented as a stand alone application.
