  • To Whom It May Concern:

    I started with Quick Base in 2007 when it was a much different product. At that time there was no real documentation, training or other form of education which necessitated learning by doing. Over the years I was allowed to only use vanilla Quick Base as a matter of company policy. I am however familiar with most of the enhancements and have used automations for repetitive tasks as well as other features.

    I would be happy to discuss my qualifications at your convenience.

    Thank You,

    Norm Hassinger

  • Mr. Malekyar,
    I have extensive experience working with Quickbase as QB App Development Manager taking my company from paper invoices to a fully intergraded system that encompassed all departments from sales, hr, productions, shipping and accounting. Throughout this process I succeed in created and implementing improved workflow processes and efficience company wide. Through these changes and designed role specific content we achieved increased sales company with one department showing revenue improvements of 250%. Now, I was able to accomplish all this while teaching myself how to program Quickbase as I had no previous programming experience of any kind. My ability to pickup QB quickly and deliver dynamic creative solutions allowed my company to cut ties with the their party vendor that created the intiail build saving 150 per hr they were paying for every tweak, change, design, question, etc. Though I have not been in a relative position in a few years I have done some contract work sparingly and stayed updated on new QB functions and capabilities. I think I could be a great asset to your company having succeeded in many of the very aspect you're in search of. If you would like to discuss my background and your available opportunity further please feel free to contact me at 832-928-5257

    Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
