Taught the BIS 221 (Computers in Business I) lab
practicum, which developed students’ understanding of spreadsheet and
database concepts using the MS Office XP Suite as the primary learning
tool. My responsibilities as
coordinator included designing the assignments and exams and distributing
them to the other graduate assistants and setting teaching methods, as well

Dendritic

10/2002 –12/2002 |

|
Internet Presence Maximization Consultant – MBA
Project |
|||
|
My duties included
determining key words to be placed on DNT’s web site to increase relevant
hits from potential customers and partners, as well as designing and
administering the survey via phone.
The duties extended to include viewing competitors’ and customers’ web
sites to determine how DNT should place itself within the market. The position also required learning enough
about bio technology and dendrimers to be able to sufficiently administer the
survey. A solution involving keywords
from three sources and creative marketing with the help of Google became the
optimal solution. |

Developer – Summer
Internship |
|||
|
My duties included assisting in the development of
ClubHub, The Internet Communication Portal for Service Clubs (www.clubhub.net). I developed functionality for tracking and
displaying events in a calendar, displaying images in a gallery or singly, as
well as displaying and editing links using ASP.Net in Visual Studio
.Net. I took the lead role in testing
and debugging. Along with development
of the portal itself, I also wrote and tested stored procedures to update a
SQL Server 7 database and wrote the documentation for the administrative
interface. Besides ClubHub, I also
added to discussions regarding marketing and direction of the firm. |

Boxlight
Corporation, |
8/2000
– 6/2001 |
||
|
Web/Database
Technician – Temporary Position |
|||
|
My main duties included maintaining several
e-commerce web sites and the underlying database for Boxlight and its
subsidiaries. To reduce server crashes
caused by uploading the database using FTP during high traffic times, I
developed an online interface for the main product database in ASP 2.0. Maintaining the site also included
coordinating with several departments when a new projector was being
introduced to ensure proper pricing and correct image display. I also developed several ad hoc pages for
promotions and non-current inventory. Additional duties I accepted while at Boxlight
included validating and normalizing customer lead data in an Excel
spreadsheet for entry into an Onyx database.
For this task, I wrote several ad hoc macros in VBA to automate the
more tedious portions particular to each file. Another duty I took on was normalizing the
data in the main web database (Access 97) for entry into the new web database
(SQL Server 7). I developed an email
survey using MS Outlook to gather sales data each month from the salespeople,
then automated the conversion to an Excel report with a macro in VBA. I also documented the survey to facilitate
training other employees to modify it.
The sales survey is still in use today. |

My main duties as
DBA were to bring the web site and underlying database online fully
functional. This included developing
all the ASP pages for the site and converting the database from Access 97 to
Access 2000. My duties grew to include
streamlining business processes by electronically tracking task lists using
Outlook and restructuring the customer database to increase security. My main duties were nearly half completed
when the company folded. |

Production Specialist

|||
|
My main duties
included reviewing and editing course page content, as well as converting the
content provided by the instructors to PageMaker and Word for upload to the
web sites. My duties grew to include
redesigning parts of the main student database interface. I also fully documented and implemented
each of the design changes. I wrote
VBA macros in Excel to manipulate student survey data downloaded from the web
which is still in use today. I also
wrote VBA macros to automate mail merge updates. |
