Experience

August 2003 - August 2004
Auburn, AL
Developer, Development    
· Helped formulate, plan and execute the development of programs and peripheral technologies that supported our primary services as well as meet extended client desires and needs.
· Worked primarily in PHP with MySQL, Javascript, XML/XSLT with XSL FO, among other languages.
· Gained exposure to a few programming languages such as Java and JSP.
· Worked in Photoshop and Illustrator to create material images for marketing and packaging, such as program icons, toolbar icons, logos, site themes for customers, etc.
· Worked with Apache web-servers; learned to set up and maintain Apache servers and to configure them with the necessary technology, such as PHP parsing, MySQL databases.
· Helped to develop a very modular framework for digital presentation of operations manuals. This technology required a working knowledge of XML and XSLT.
· Helped to develop a system to track site usage; also co-developed the sister technology that allows clients to view the tracking data in a near-live environment. This required a strong understanding of PHP and MySQL database structure, as well as a working knowledge of Javascript.

 

January 2003 - August 2003
Auburn, AL
Project Leader, Production    
· Operated in an ISO 9001 compliant company that produces training and other materials for use by large and small companies, primarily in the fields of training or sales.
· Was responsible for recording a paper trail of all the steps in the iPOV process that I completed, per project. These steps included original script generation from recorded voice, script review and editing, video processing and editing, sound reviews and corrections, quality control checks both at proof stage and for final product verification, cataloging and organization of materials to be used and/or included in the projects.
· Worked as an on-site Project Manager/Consultant via a partnership between the Opelika Uniroyal production facility and iPOV. This assignment required very good communication skills, a good deal of charisma and politicking, good time management, a focus on quality and attention to detail. It involved the use of video and audio equipment as well as a tolerance for manufacturing environments.
· Also assigned to produce materials for Auburn University’s School of Business pertaining to the Doctoral in Management program. These materials are designed to effectively explain exactly how the Doctoral program operates, what is needed to apply and then complete the program, and to make it easier for potential PhD students to find the information they need on a range of subjects. This project required very good time management, creativity, and a focus on simplicity of design.

 

2001 - 2002
The Robert Bosch Corporation
Anderson, SC
Cooperative Education Student    
· Initiated reviews of productivity; implemented strategies for increasing productivity by helping to reduce number of failed parts, increasing reliability and accuracy of detection systems, thus allowing more parts to flow through each station of a specific line.
· Initiated part data traceability of a GM product; will expand it to include all products produced by the IAFM department. Decreases turnaround time for any investigation of a part failure at the GM plant; provides a part, machine and operator history to detect and prevent any downward trends in quality.
· Daily troubleshooting of manufacturing processes and “squashing of bugs.” This included minor adjustments of machine settings and recalibration to assure quality of parts produced.
· Assisted in numerous quality control projects that included every product produced by the IAFM department; utilized Shainin studies to investigate the processes.
· Helped BOSCH – Anderson attain ISO 9000, 9001 compliance.
