  • Nov 2008 - Oct 2010

  At the Ministry of Education in Namibia, I provided much-needed technical services: - I designed and developed a data capturing system, installed it each Regional Office, and provided user training and support. System was used to successfully capture the 2010 Fifteenth Day Statistic survey responses. - I received and processed hundreds of unique requests for educational data. Working directly with requestors, I refined the request to ensure our data could support it, and then I developed a complex SQL query to extract the data from our database. - I designed and developed a website that offered tools to generate both general and highly-customized reports. The website and tools greatly increased the technical capacity of our office by reducing the time and technical skill required for custom report creation. Show less
