    I am relied upon as a web programmer to build and maintain several middleware applications. These in-house applications perform many critical tasks across several scopes - some serve mission-critical purposes

    such as provisioning / updating account information in our cloud services

    and others extend the functionality and provide enhancements to user experience in using these services. I have built libraries and applications that make extensive use of the REST APIs for many services

    which are freshman-level courses in the Music department geared toward technology for music majors.\n\nAt UNCG

    I also developed and managed several web applications

    databases

    and one online course. I served on campus committees as a School representative. I have worked with new and upcoming technology in the performing arts

    such as the high-quality / low-latency application LOLA

    Winter 2012

    Re-designed the website for the School of Music

    Theatre and Dance from scratch

    using a custom-built PHP template engine

    and a combination of other PHP

    HTML

    CSS

    and Javascript code. The site launched in December 2012

    with upgrades and maintenance afterward. Significant portions of my code remain in production today

    even after my departure from the Performing Arts Technology Consultant position.

    WebEx Support Tool

    I built a web-based support tool for our campus integration of WebEx

    serving approximately 20

    000 potential student

    faculty

    and staff users. The application provisions and manages WebEx accounts

    provides information on sessions

    recordings

    and usage

    and ensures that the admin team is aware of any service outages.\n\nThe system was built on the Zend framework (PHP)

    and makes extensive use of the WebEx and Box APIs

    as well as MVC code structures and principles.

    Webex migration

    I served as the project lead for our campus-wide migration to Webex from Blackboard Collaborate

    which was implemented successfully and ahead of schedule. This included planning and logistics

    and also the construction of a web application for provisioning and managing user accounts and data.

    CCPS Core Framework

    I headed an initiative to develop a new middleware application framework

    built on top of the Laravel PHP framework. This custom framework is currently relied upon as a base for the next generation of our in-house application development within my group / department

    replacing many of our legacy Zend-based apps.\n\nThis application framework is in use today

    and undergoes continual maintenance and improvements.
