Carrington College California-San Jose

• Higher Education
• 500 - 600 Employee

• Senior Web Developer

  • Jul 2016 - Present

  As senior web developer for Carrington College my responsibilities have not changed much since changing titles. The title change more accurately reflects the role I was performing beforehand. The largest changes are the added responsibility to further mentor the other web developers on my team as well as assist the Web Team Marketing Manager in managing projects and timelines. In addition to planning and design, I ensure the other developers have access to all the data they require and the support systems necessary to provide that data are functioning properly, whether this is additional API calls or foundational code changes for better performance and security.

• Web Developer

  • Oct 2014 - Present

  Carrington College is a non-profit medical leaning education company. My primary responsibility is to develop and maintain an internal data warehouse which stores all campus information, program and course information, as well as much more. Numerous in-house developed systems depend on the data contained within that database which we lovingly call "The API". Our API is a PHP/MySQL based REST API which happily delivers continuously up to date information to our campus representatives and call centers which absolutely require up to date information to provide to potential students. Next to the API, secondary responsibilities include managing multiple Apache web servers and MariaDB/MySQL database servers, server security and maintenance, and user access. I am responsible for maintaining our Wordpress installations and developing / co-developing numerous Wordpress plugins and themes used on our primary website, along with numerous other sites more acutely focused. The development team works closely together and shares multiple codebases in GIT and works together to utilize services such as Optimizely for A/B testing and Google Analytics for site performance. Also to analyze current infrastructure and make necessary improvements, and migrate as needed, to maintain a competitive edge in the non-profit education space.Other responsibilities include code review for security and coding standards, mentoring and assisting junior developers, and assisting the web team marketing manager in upcoming project management and time frames.

  I was lead system and network administrator for the tribal government office. I managed all desktop support and new installations for tribal offices, court offices and the police department. I used a RHEL server with Samba and LDAP to manage all network authentication and volume share control as well as email. I was requested to develop member management systems for a tribal daycare and athletic gym. While working for the tribe I learned PHP to complement my HTML and CSS skills to complete a helpdesk ticket tracking system for all computer problems, a gym membership web application for signing up new members, tracking existing members and logging time-in and time-out of all members, as well as payment history and dues. A similar system was created for the daycare facility with customizations necessary to fit their needs. The tribal Police department requested my transfer to become their sole administrator and I agreed. In 2007 I attended the police academy where I injured my brachial plexus.

Speedfam-IPEC

  I was initially hired as a temp to assist with a role-out of 500 new desktop machines. When the new machines were all in the field the company hired me full time to assist with desktop support of all desktop applications and engineering applications. The company had multiple engineering buildings across its campus and after 6 months I was moved to the research and development building where I was the sole support for the entire building including engineers on foreign fields. I had support staff I could escalate large issues to in other buildings who would help in my building when needed. I managed a single linux samba server to assist me in daily activities. All work was tracked via Remedy helpdesk and email. The company was sold to Novellus and shortly after September 11 the Speedfam IT department was laid off in favor of temp staff and the Novellus staff. Show less
