If there ever was a visual image that comes to mind or a persona that epitomizes the saying : 'Been there, done that' - it has to be Irepan Chavez.

Now married and the father of a daughter (a real beauty by the way), Irepan has settled in at AIS (since 2000) as one of our senior software engineers. In addition to the extensive software engineering work Irepan performs at AIS, he is also AIS' resident O/S, Network and Server Farm guru managing each.

Supporting the 'Been there, done that' mantra, Irepan's engineering portfolio includes :

Visual C++, Borland C++, Clipper, Visual Basic, Visual C# .NET, Visual Fox Pro,  Omnis Studio, SQL Server, Oracle 7 thru 10g, PL/SQL, MS.net, JDK , HTML, JavaScript & VBScript, PHP, ASP and Swing API.

Of additional note, Irepan has endeared himself to the AIS faithful (both internal and external) by engineering Millennia's enormously powerful Contact Management and AddComm architectures as well as now being our lead engineer on Millennia's Trip interface (Itinerary, Crewing, Manifesting, Logistics etc...).

It has been stated in more than one conversation in the halls of AIS that Irepan is just warming up with his best work still to come. If that is so, fasten your seatbelts everyone, 'cause what an engineering ride it will be...
