My contract at Dexterra involved writing documentation for a new developers tool called Dexterra Explorer. Dexterra Explorer is a component of the Dexterra Studio. The documentation at Dexterra was in a state of transition at this time. I was instrumental in defining the document structure and tools that would be used into the future for documentation efforts.

My second contract at Microsoft as a programmer/writer was on the Department of Justice (DOJ) compliance project, documenting protocols. All of the work that I did on that project is protected by extensive non-disclosure agreements and very expensive licensing agreements. An article about the release reported at The Register.
Part of the compliance work was to document undocumented Application Programming Interfaces (API)s. I was loaned to this portion of the project for a time and some of the work I did ended up MSDN. Listed below are some links to items I documented.

| ApphelpCheckShellObject | A function enabling applications to detect bad extension objects and either block them from running or fix them. |
