Formulated distributed client/server architecture and tools to monitor our network performance and uptime. With this tool we are able to track the performance of our network from a varity of network locations, allowing a distributed monitoring. All the data can be stored on a local server, or on an enterprise server. The data will then be retrieved and collated by the main report server, and web reports generated.

Developed a web interface to MicroMuse NetCool/Omnibus SNMP event list. The Web interface allows clients to view the open Event (and Trouble Tickets) in a convent format that was available across the enterprise and license/royalty free. This tool utilized Perl::DBI, Perl::Sybase::DBD, and CGI.

Create Web interface to Qpage paging software with Perl, CGI, HTML and Apache. Qpage, which was download (http://www.qpage.org) from the Internet, is an Simple Network Paging Protocol server. Once running and configured, I architected an active web interface using Perl, Net::SNPP perl module, CGI and Apache creating a maintenance free web interface. This interface will give people the ability to send pages via the Qpage server to any pager configured on the Qpage system via aweb interface.
