About This Site

Initially designed to share VBA code and resources, it has expanded to include work in SQL (T-SQL) and .NET (C#/VB.NET/ASP.NET).

About Me

My current resume (MS Word or Linked In Profile) is focused on VBA for both Excel and Access, as well as .NET and SQL, within the financial technology environment, and I have programmed for a coterie of large investment banks and corporations on a variety of issues:

  • Market/IT Risk @ UBS Investment Bank
  • Trade management @ Deutsche Bank
  • Billing / Data quality @ NCR
  • Forensic accounting @ Deloitte
  • Server delivery cost reporting @ UBS
  • BCP @ Credit Suisse
  • Compensation review @ AIG
  • MS Office conversions @ ABN AMRO
  • IT management @ JP Morgan Chase
  • Project analysis @ Deutsche Bank

Other Sites of Mine

I also maintain a wiki for Access and Excel VBA code, VBA @ WikiDot, a newer site based and focused on .NET using ASP.NET and VB.NET, CodeDotNet, along with this and other sites, two with dated professional work. One a site for Deutsche Bank Asset Management IT in New York, and the other a presentation of marketing recommendations for a software firm repositioning itself after the WTC tragedy.
