I am a member of the Cloud Collaboration and Productivity Services group within the ITS department at UNCG. This team is directly responsible for operations of our campus cloud services
including G Suite
Box
Canvas (our Learning Management System)
Webex (our synchronous learning tool and campus conferencing platform)
and others. My day-to-day responsibilities include administering the Webex platform
and assisting with the Canvas platform as needed.\n\nIn addition to my roles in keeping the Webex and Canvas services running smoothly
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
including Webex
Canvas
Grouper
Box
and others.

SMTD Website
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.
