To the recipient of this resume: I am a highly skilled custom database software system architect/designer and software developer. I specialize in the design and construction of custom database software systems for the Internet and Windows. I design and build fully functional and aesthetic ECommerce websites that incorporate and automate your business processes. I ensure that the website accomplishes your conversion goals and is ranked at the top of the search engines. This is a complete range of services necessary in today's fast paced business environment. I have designed and developed software systems in more than 40 languages. I have created more than 45 mission critical turnkey systems (including multiple versions of several of them) for the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. As President of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. I created these image database systems using variations of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology for Intel, AMD, Fairchild Semiconductor, Lucent, Applied Materials, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Dupont, Bristol Meyer/Squibb, Immunex, Smith/Kline Beecham, and others. I currently develop commercial quality systems using Active Server Pages (ASP), Coldfusion, PHP, Visual Basic (VB 6.0, VB.NET, VBScript, and VBA for Excel, Word, Access and PowerPoint), Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques, DHTML, Javascript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Access, SQL Server, Oracle 9+, MySQL and many other languages, tools and technologies. These systems represent only approximately 1/3 of the systems I have designed and built since 1993.I consistently provide high quality turnkey business process improvement and process automation solutions to business problems. These custom software systems always allow companies to achieve a higher level of product and service delivery. I design and build professional quality websites that are highly ranked in the top Internet search engines. See http://www.21stsoft.com/search-engine-optimization-seo-internet-marketing-services.asp for a list of several high-ranking keyword searches - like 1st out of 37 Million for an MSN search on 'database development' (http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?srch=105&FORM=AS5&q=database+development ). I have developed very successful Search Engine Optimization (SEO)/Internet Marketing techniques that significantly increase a company's market reach by consistently achieving top search engine ranking. Before founding 21st in 1993 I was a Systems Engineer for Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in Colorado Springs where I designed and built mission critical hardware and software systems deployed at NORAD, the primary Air Force command center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For this position I retained a Top Secret clearance. With a BS in Electrical Engineering from Colorado State University, I designed the hardware, enterprise networks, operating systems, and software applications for several systems I engineered and deployed at NORAD and other command centers like the Pentagon. I designed and built some of the circuit level hardware, designed and wrote custom operating systems for the hardware, and designed and coded the custom software applications that resided in these operating systems. I deliver, and have done so for many years. I look forward to discussing your requirements for custom database software and business process automation projects - and/or partnering. Please contact me at your earliest convenience and if desired I'll provide excellent client references. Thanks and best regards, Michael A. Cordova, President 21st Century Technologies, Inc.
