Experience

I currently work for the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles, CA. I began as an intern in the summer 2005 and have been with the company ever since. I have completed tasks as a programmer, project lead, and independent assessment. For additional information please view my resume.

At DePauw University, I worked for the Faculty Instructional Technology Program ( FITS) where I stayed for 3 years. This program is designed to help faculty and staff with various projects for the classroom. On a daily basis, I consulted with individuals, both faculty and students, and assisted them in developing any project they could envision.

Projects that I have coordinated and completed range from database driven websites, video conversion and production, powerpoint presentations, faculty websites, and numerous others.

During the month of January (2004), I completed an internship with Saurian Technologies. I learned a great amount about small businesses and their operation. In addition, I was able to create and deliver a professional presentation to a car lot owner about an inventory management system. Also, I consulted with various clients, went on site to set up wireless networks, troubleshooted and solvesd any other problems that arose.

I have completed two jobs where I managed computer lab. In this position, I set up an image for the machines, reimaged them, and performed hardware upgrades. In addition, I was responsible for ordering parts, installing software, and mananging the networked computers.
