End-to-End Design and Development

Most projects in my career have been systems-integration projects, in which customers needed to use information distributed across several different types of computers. I feel fortunate that, for several such projects, I was involved in every phase of the design and development process, either alone or as part of a team. These projects enabled me to design and develop both a user interface and the software that powered that interface. Some examples:

• A help system. Part of a Macintosh environment at a company that was very new to the Macintosh. Enabled employees to view on-line help and enabled supervisors to edit the help topics.

• A fax viewer. Displayed customer faxes on a Macintosh screen, and enabled customers to manipulate the fax image using fairly standard Macintosh controls.

• Site Builder, a web-site construction kit. Enabled customers to create a web site by entering personal or company data and selecting from a variety of web-site designs. (Comments only; no documentation available.)
