Tim Cadell's Résumé

Engineering and maintaining several websites and back-end systems, including background servers supporting ClickTracks web analytics software. Integrating existing Web Analytics users with LHQ-based system.

Projects:

• Automators	Team implementing external-event driven rules-based system for automated email systems. Primary work is in PHP and MySQL, with special regard to high reliability, efficiency and optimization
• SAL	Support system for JDC that distributes data files to multiple machines for high-availability and reliability. This system is part of an effort to improve JDC scalability. Written in Apache ModPerl with MySQL
• FakeVisitors	Created system for internal use that generates fake but reasonable website traffic, this system leverages JDC data collection and EmailLabs API to inject traffic into ClickTracks Web Analytics. Configuration files allow sales personnel to modify fake visitor simulations. Written in Perl
• UpdateBox	Designed and implemented consolidated system installer for all websites and back-end software in this list. System checks for presence of Perl and YUM packages, validates current database version, and validates system configuration files. Also allows for quick installation and rewind. Supports multiple websites and systems on one server. Written in Perl
• White Labeling	Implemented "white labeling" Lyris domain name hiding for ClickTracks Hosted servers
• GUJ	Conceived and implemented Grand Unified JavaScript: Consolidated JavaScript code for JDC data collection, allows each ClickTracks/JDC dataset and page to have individual settings that propagate from the JDC side with a minimum of code placed on each web page to be tracked. System provides the following functionality: Multiple methods of specifying ECommerce value for each user session Automatically detect and track exit clicks from websites Automatically track loads of non-HTML file types like PDFs, customer definable by file extension Automatically tracks browser type and display size Allows Customer Defined Variables for individual pages. These are not displayed in URLs, so hide from users that the information is being tracked Automatically connects and reconnects web-based sessions and customers to email campaigns
• WAM	Maintained and extended Web Access Mechanism that consolidates all customers, dataset and user data for ClickTracks, provides API access from LHQ and other systems. Written in PHP and MySQL
• AutoImport	Designed, implemented and maintained system for downloading search engine marketing information (campaigns, adgroups, keywords and ads/creatives from Google AdWords API and Yahoo Search Marketing API. Written in Perl and MySQL, with SOAP XML
• BidHero	Worked on three different incarnations of BidHero before current system. Before Google AdWords API, the system had to "scrape" information directly from Google AdWords pages. Written in Perl and MySQL
• CTAdmin	ClickTracks Admin: conceived and implemented system for maintaining ClickTracks Hosted customers and datasets, updating live data on www.clicktracks.com website (no longer in use), monitoring system activity and up-time, many other functions. Written mostly in PHP and MySQL
• JDC	Took over JDC development at version 2, rewrote customer GUI system in Apache ModPerl for version 3. Original system was third-party cookie driven, I upgraded it to allow first- or third-party cookies, depending on dataset needs. Over 60 installations world-wide, including some versions running Windows Apache. Written in Perl and Apache ModPerl

Engineering company web sites and software in Perl and PHP, maintaining and extending Perl and Javascript system for collecting web traffic information, collating it for analysis. See Lyris above for details.

System for Total Net that handled tracking of tasks, bugs and design changes for customers and developers with Total Net. DevTracker automatically sends out email notifications of changes, tracks submissions, testing, installation and responses by username and date. Also handles labor tracking, version control, and display of Comps.

System allows wholesale customers and sales personnel to access complete database of products available from MacMurray Pacific, place orders, and check on status of orders. Consulted on original web site and database design, implemented software in EmbPerl running under Apache, using MySQL for backend database. This system acts as a front-end for a legacy package written in UniBasic. HP-UX 11

Consulted on original design, worked with owners to improve site design throughout implementation, designed database and search capabilities including scored searches against database. MS NT 4.0 using Perl 5.05 with MS SQL 7.

Large aerospace database/intranet projects involving parts tracking, MIL standard compliance, change tracking; including support for the International Space Station project. System was written with VB 6.0 and Oracle 8. Responsible for reports and COM components running under MTS. Reports were prepared using Active Reports and additional OCX products in addition to PL/SQL. Latest version was web-based using ASP, server-side data handling and Microsoft Transaction Server.

System uses Perl CGI to handle updating and displaying of product catalogs. The entire shopping cart system was implemented locally on the site. System also includes a different product suggested every time the catalog page is loaded, customer comments on notes (including email to sysadmin to check on unwanted comments), ability of customers to check on their orders through the web site.

Designed and continue maintaining this site. Used Perl scripts to rebuild the site in order to allow flexible data presentation and fast update.
