To You the Reader:

Thank you for your interest in employing Michael A. Cordova and 21st Century Technologies, Inc. for custom database software systems design and development. I am sure you will find that I am highly qualified to analyze, design, and build your custom database software system or perform analysis/design of your technology project.

I am an experienced software developer specializing in custom database software systems for Windows, web design of fully functional Internet websites, aesthetic ECommerce websites (custom shopping cart software), and general custom software development. I have developed in more than 40 languages!

I have created more than 45 mission critical turnkey1 systems for the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries alone. As President of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. I created these image database systems using primarily the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology for Intel, AMD, Applied Materials, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Dupont, Immunex, Smith/Kline Beecham, and many others. I currently develop commercial quality systems using Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic (VB - all versions from 4.0 including VB.NET, VBScript, and VBA for Excel, Word, Access and PowerPoint), Coldfusion, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques, DHTML, Javascript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Access, SQL Server, Oracle 9+ and many more languages and tools. In general I provide turnkey solutions to technical problems involving custom database software systems.

I design and build professional quality websites that are highly ranked in the top Internet search engines, and have incorporated the business processes of my clients into their Internet website through the use of highly effective database driven custom software applications. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)/Internet Marketing of websites and company products is a strength of mine. For several years I have consistently achieved top ranking on the Internet search engines for many client websites and products. The methods I have personally developed are highly effective and have made a significant difference to my client's businesses. I'll provide several examples of top ranked products and websites upon request.

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 in direct support of Air Force Space Command at NORAD, the primary Air Force command center. With a degree in Electrical Engineering, I designed the hardware, enterprise networks, operating systems, and software applications. I designed and built the hardware from the circuit level to the system level, designed and wrote the operating system code for the custom hardware, and designed and built 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 projects. Please contact me at your convenience and I'll provide excellent client references if desired.

Thanks and best regards, Michael A. Cordova, President

Company Bio

As a System Engineer for Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) Michael A. Cordova designed and built many custom hardware and software systems (operating systems and applications) for North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the US Air Force Command Center. Air Force Space Command was the company's primary customer. The in-house expertise for required software projects was not always available and CSC periodically had to acquire independent outside consultants to fill the gap. Discussions with these consultants and a subsequent market research effort convinced Mr. Cordova of the need for knowledgeable custom software consultants. He saw a need for quality commercial custom software services. Consequently, Mr. Cordova started 21st Century Technologies, Inc. in the spring of 1993.

One of the Air Force support positions held by Mr. Cordova was an on-site System Program Analyst in the System Control Center at the NORAD. He was trained on the software and hardware interfaces of all of the major systems inside this Air Force Command Center. As one of five such on-site analysts Mr. Cordova performed immediate analysis on system faults and anomalies to provide maximum system availability. This experience provided an invaluable perspective on the design of Mission Critical computer systems.

Since the inception of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. many custom database software solutions have been created and provided to companies across the country. The applications programming required in each project cover a broad range of disciplines. The knowledge gained in each system delivered is applicable to all future projects undertaken by 21st Century Technologies, Inc. All customers benefit from this extensive experience.

A formal education at Colorado State University in Electrical Engineering (BSEE 1979) and 19 years experience in computer systems design make Mr. Cordova and 21st Century Technologies, Inc. extremely qualified candidates for the design of custom database software Information Systems (IS). Mr. Cordova has designed computer systems from circuit cards for IBM PC compatible computers, through worldwide communication networks for Air Force Space Command in support of NORAD, to a myriad of custom software systems as President of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. This experience provides a comprehensive experience in the technology arena, and more importantly, provides a broad perspective from which to approach client's ideas to implement their process automation and visions for the future.

Several computer languages, databases, and state of the art tools are used to provide complete solutions. Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic, VBScript, JavaScript, Java Applets, MS Access, Delphi, SQL Server, MS Excel, MS Word, etc. have all been used to create custom solutions for our clients. More information about the products that we employ is on our Services page.

Since every customer's needs are unique, the more system construction experience a company has, the more they are capable of providing an effective solution. We have created many (> 40) applications for the Semiconductor and Pharmaceutical industries, and many others for a wide variety of special applications (finance and accounting, communication, reporting, real estate, business process automation, and many more). Our Successes page lists these and many other systems that have been completed and delivered to satisfied customers.

The bottom line is that we deliver what we promise - and contract - to deliver. Our integrity is corroborated by the excellent list of client references we provide to all potential clients interested in creating a custom technology based system, or a custom database software system.
