About Duane Bentzen

CIO, CTO, IT Director, Project Manager, Web and SEO Consultant, Application Developer and Database Administrator in a wide variety of scientific and business applications. Please see my \'Website website\' at am interested in both client/server and web based database and software design. I am an MS-SQL Server DBA and am familiar with Oracle, DB2, Postgres and MySQL. For small applications and prototyping, I use MS Access and VB. For the new massive flat file \'Big Data\', I use NoSQL, Hadoop and Mongo. I have to laugh, Mongo reminds me of Blazing Saddles. But I digress.I have been creating, managing, migrating and translating databases for various applications since 1980. I have worked for Hughes Aircraft, CSC (and ADP), Security Pacific Bank, SDC (now Unisys), the County of Ventura, Applied Software Laboratories, Chicago and Fidelity Title, HealthCare Clinical Consultants, Millenium Business Solutions Group (MBSG), Danoco Brands and am currently a consultant for a variety of businesses in the Greater Los Angeles and Salt Lake City areas and building websites and database back ends and front ends for online information.I am always interested in data migration and web content, as well as keeping current with database development at MySQL and Microsoft. I\'m currently operating an Azure cloud based SQL Server application for a number of music industry artists monitoring and tracking peer-to-peer music sharing. As the data is becoming massive, it\'ll move to Mongo.My specialty lies in communicating. I have an uncanny ability to be able to bring the end user/customer and the technical experts together to create simple and elegant solutions to Web, data and IT management and implementation.I have written code in machine language, assembly, C, PHP, Perl, Java, VB and a number of Agile platforms, but I really shine when leading a team of developers, keeping the team focused and keeping projects from bogging down.
