Experience Highlights

Internal Scripting

Developed systems for hour tracking, project management, invoicing, billing, and customer management. Wrote subsystem that allowed viewing of PDFs without allowing the user to download the original file. All systems were expanded and integrated from employer's internal codebase.

Custom CMS Development

Developed custom CMS with team of developers. Wrote a backwards compatible core library that allowed old code to be used with little change. Developers had the option of using newer syntax and functionality, but code could still be utilized from 6 or more years prior if need be.

Hot Call Transfer

Worked on various hot call transfer sites for client. Made sure that leads got properly tracked. Wrote code that filtered some clickbots out. Wrote code for multi-stage submissions. Took ready-made designs provided by client and ensured that they functioned as the client desired. Continually worked on 6+ sites over the course of client relationship.
