My name is Edward Muller.

I am a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Washington who also has 20 years of experience in the software industry. I specialize in the integration and automation of data sources, payroll and accounting applications, and reporting. My combination of CPA and programming skills and experience gives me a unique edge for both financial and business analyst positions.

What I first and foremost offer companies is my proven ability to automate and streamline the efficiency of office processes like payroll processing, data upload, and report and dashboard generation while at the same time communicating with office and accounting staff in terms they understand.

My work history includes experience in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle from initial assessment of requirements through design, prototyping, testing, debugging, installation packaging, and end-user documentation writing, training, and customer support both over the phone and in the field. I am easily able to communicate with non-technical end users and management in language that they understand.

I have over five years of experience with C# application development and debugging along with experience with all versions of Visual Basic from Version 4.0 to VB.NET and am expert in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the macro language behind the whole Microsoft Office Suite, and web application development with ASP.NET. I have also developed applications with ColdFusion, Java, and C/C++.

My database experience includes Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, MySQL, FoxPro, and Paradox. I have designed and modified databases, written complex stored procedures with cursors, performed multiple database migrations and updates, and set up user security access.
