Thank you,  Daniel Monaghan  Owner & Senior Programmer/Analyst  E x p e r i e n c e d . c o m  631.286.6111

In the years to follow I advanced my programming skills on the Apple ][+ and Commodore 64 personal computers.  On the C-64 (the best selling PC of all time) I designed and operated a full-featured Bulletin Board System (BBS) from 1984 to 1987.  BBS's preceded the Internet and were the first popular means of telecommunication [Wikipedia: Bulletin Board System].  While other Sysop's (System Operators) ran commercial BBS software, I wrote mine.  Using CBM Basic and 6502 Assembly Language, I programmed personal user accounts, private e-mail, public message boards, file sharing, and instant messaging routines entirely from scratch.  Years before the Internet evolved, my BBS software offered the same exciting features.

■  In 1988 I landed my first professional Programmer/Analyst job for SEC Online, Inc. in Hauppauge, NY before they were acquired by Disclosure, Inc. - a unit of Primark Corporation (NYSE/PSE: PMK).  SEC Online™ was the first company in the world to create and distribute a full-text database of U.S. Security and Exchange Commission filings.  All companies on the NYSE and AMSE, as well as over 2,000 NASDAQ companies, were included in our distribution.  For this emerging Electronic Information Provider I wrote hundreds of database applications and statistical reports in DBase, FoxPro, Oracle, and Progress 4GL/SQL.

In my second year of employment I conceived and programmed a cost analysis system that calculated discrepancies in bills received from data-entry vendors.  My final report identified a quarter million dollars in overcharges during a six month period.  Shortly after writing that application I was promoted to Database Administrator and over the next two years was responsible for designing and programming the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that managed and analyzed over 5,000 New York and American Stock Exchange companies and more than 40,000 SEC filings.  Every major financial network in the World:  Standard & Poor's, Mead (Lexus/Nexus), Westlaw, ICC/London, and Dow Jones & Company received our product.  In addition to managing this complex database, I was also responsible for documenting and demonstrating all facets of the system to potential clients and investors abroad, and traveled to London to consult with Direct Data Resources Intl. - one of our data-entry vendors.

■  From 1991 to 1996 I held the position of Senior Programmer/Analyst for the software development firm Weber Systems, Inc. also located in Hauppauge, NY (Long Island's esteemed Technical and Industrial Park).  With this dynamic company I developed software on Windows 3.1/95/98 and Mac platforms for a large and diverse client base across the country.  Some of the applications I designed and programmed included a full-featured Accounting System (Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchase Order, Sales Order, General Ledger), Point-of-Sale, Help Desk System, Contact Manager, and real-time Inventory Control System for a national retailer.

With this cutting-edge firm I also pioneered on the Internet in 1995 learning TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, and NNTP protocols.  I developed some of the earliest database-driven web server applications that delivered dynamic content for such prestigious organizations as New York University's School of Continuing Education and the Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center - years before Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) platform was even conceived.

■  By 1997 "The Net" was starting to become a household name.  That's when I realized, with my expertise, the great opportunities that lay ahead to build database-driven (later coined "dynamic") web sites for companies.  That summer I launched this ".COM' consulting group and began programming MyWebManager™ - the most robust, yet affordable, dynamic web site solution on the market today!

■  In 2003 I was invited to speak at the 2nd Annual Conference for the South Carolina Association of Public Charter Schools.  For this distinguished event, which the Governor of South Carolina attended, I held a two day lecture and subsequent focus group on:  "Dynamic Web Site Design, IT for Charter Schools, and Integrating New Technologies with Older Scholastic Systems."
