ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Created web sites that are functional, easy to use and aesthetically appealing.
• Created data management and reporting system to save physician/scientist over two weeks per year of tedious spreadsheet editing
• Saved department manager 75 days of repetitive data entry over next five years by creating simple automated process
• Saved busy customer service reps (whose time is best spent solving customer problems) 16 days per year compared to manually
entering data by automating data upload required to bring new products online.
• Reduced customer service calls by 40% by creating error handler, and analyzing user behavior to track down and obscure bug
(written by previous programmer) that was causing frequent errors.
• Common sense solutions -- sometimes even low-tech solutions that get the job done at a minimal cost. For example, rather than
having an expensive programmer rewrite two programs to combine data output for the remaining two months of a project, I ran them
separately and simply added the values on a summary page. Bottom line: 1 day vs. 3 weeks, and $120 vs. $4800
• To comply with new state regulation, created .NET page that passes data to PDF and stores it. User completes task in PDF which
processes code. After user completes final task PDF code makes button visible, then when user clicks button it passes data to
.NET page for further processing.

• Leadership role to bring product through full life cycle
• Handled situations of growing enterprise – page and processing customizations for affiliates / customers, brought hosting from
outside service to in-house, email marketing (and assuring business email doesn’t get on spam lists), search engine optimization,
change in credit card processing vendors
