About Wayne Downing

Professional programmer since 1995, specifically in C#.NET (from 2.0 up through.NET 6.0) and Visual BASIC (from 3.0 up through.NET 2010), and I have extensive experience with network programming and distributed application design (such as with C#.NET ), and I have worked for four years with various methods of reporting on and searching Multiple Listing Service data using SQL and SQL 2005 (with VB6 components as the business layer, due to their ease of scripting ). I have worked for 4 years in the Credit Card Industry in a high-security environment, during which time I have created a patented method used to transfer credit card information securely between two systems that may not be secure (while maintaining PCI compliance). I have also worked in data warehousing, CRM development, and Business Intelligence support. Most recently, I have worked with Windows Presentation Foundation and MVC 3.0-5.0, using Razor syntax. My goal is to remain challenged in my work and to have the ability to show how a scientific approach to software architecture can solve problems in ways that haven't been considered before. Specialties: Artificially intelligent, self-modifying code; Secure Systems and Network design; A scientific approach to computer software design with an emphasis on system performance and efficiency; Knowledge of open-source software solutions and how to leverage them as a component in mixed systems. Patent: I'm the inventor of Patent # 8,898,086, which is a way to authorize credit cards over a potentially insecure network.
