Database Specialist (Software Developer)

• Nov 2015 - Feb 2018

• Created a 3rd version of the online reporting system as requirements and stakeholders changed which utilized multiple technologies such as Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and MySQL as requirements changed• Developed a python analysis and report generator tool for other staff to download, manage and analyze the data collected to extract useful information• Continued to provide long-term maintenance, upgrades, and support

Office Specialist (Software Developer)

• Oct 2011 - Nov 2015

• Led nontechnical staff through a software requirement gathering process to formalize the reporting tool prototype• Architected the first version of the tool using the U of A required survey software, custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and an excel VBA tool to generate the required reports• Provided long-term maintenance and upgrades to the tool• Provided user support

Student Worker

• Dec 2010 - Oct 2011

• Identified an area for improvement with in a reporting process and prototyped an online reporting system using google forms and excel to demo the process to core stakeholders• The prototype led to a 4x reduction in the amount of man effort needed to acquire program data and format it for required reporting, and labels• Handled large amounts of data entry into excel reports from faxes sent in by teachers statewide• Packed, loaded and distributed materials to teachers
