Development of web based solutions. This usually involves a combination of Coldfusion and SQL. Some projects I have played a major role in include:
-A dynamic form generation tool: Allows users to create a form that can be used from within our Content Management System. It also generates a process page. All information about the form is stored in a database and on the generated static page.
-An automated graduation system: Replaces the entire graduation process with an online equivalent. This is a complex process since it requires the approval of several departments. Allows administrators to have greater ability to track progress of the application. Allows students to walk through the process in a clearly laid out process and gives immediate warning to any student that may not meet requirements.
-Standard Operating Procedures: Planned and Developed a set of procedures by which our department would be held accountable. Gave guidelines for coding and project management. -
