Michael Rennick’s Summary

I have been involved in web development and design since 1998. I got my start working for the academic journal, Teachers College Record, a publication of Teachers College, Columbia University. I developed and implemented a powerful set of tools, allowing the academic journal to keep pace with many corporate publishing operations. Over the years I advanced at Teachers College, to eventually become the Associate Director of the Gottesman Libraries and the Head of edLab, the design and development arm of the library.

My most important skill is his ability to design custom software solutions that match the needs of a wide array of business clients.

In January of 2006, I left Teachers College to found 110 Studios Inc, a web-based software development and design firm. 110 Studios is currently focusing on the academic sector, delivering solutions to university research centers, institutes, and professional organizations.

  * Multi-expense data management
  * Custom reporting solutions to compare any combination of budget, market, billing, and meter data sets
  * An online document library, customized for each client

  In addition, I built (from scratch) an email message center, contact manager, calendar, meeting organizer, and a support ticket system. Each module was custom designed so that it would sync perfectly with the unique business rules of the energy sector, and of SilentSherpa.
  
  All told, the web-based application allows a staff of less than 3 to service over 150 clients.
