SUCCESS STORIES
·
Developed and implemented a voice web
application that delivers voice messages to targeted customers and allow those
customers to retrieve their messages through a voice web platform. My object oriented approach allowed the
application to be quickly adapted for use with a variety of clients. This design greatly decreased the amount of
time needed to bring new clients online.
I also developed a solution that allowed sales people to initiate
message delivery while previewing the application to potential clients. My roles included: project lead, database
designer/developer, web developer.
·
Successfully managed and implemented a
website that created a marketing presence on the web for a nationwide mortgage servicing company which increased their orders from new and existing customers five
fold and decreased the order fulfillment and delivery time from seven to three
days. I also gathered and defined
requirements, created the project plan, and hired the consultants used for the
project. My roles included: project
manager, database designer/developer, web developer.
·
Created a Request For Proposal (RFP)
for a company that wanted to improve their web presence and offer additional
services to their customers. I led

and created flow diagrams for the RFP.
The RFP successfully triggered a number of qualified and consistent
proposals.
·
Successfully rolled out a Message
Processing application to eighty plus users at a Voice Automation company. I gathered requirements from the CIO and business
leaders of the four groups using the application, designed nine modules, coded
three of the modules, and worked with group leaders to ensure a smooth
implementation. Roles included: project
lead, database designer/developer, client/server and web developer.
