  Internship

  Worked directly with the Information Technology Director to create an Intranet utilizing existing AS/400 HTTP sever and IBM's proprietary web programming language Net.Data. I wrote services that interfaced with existing C and RPG programs to extract information and in-turn display it in a usable format to a web browser so that the sales team could leverage that information when interfacing with customers.
