I've been with the University for 7.5 years now. I originally started out as a Technical Trainer in DoIT's IT Training group. From there, I took a position at Human Resource Services as a Programmer/Analyst. While there, I helped design and build the Online Job Application system, the Employment Verification and Online Vitals Extraction application, and the Smart PAF application.
Before coming to the University, I worked as the Department Manager for The Computer Skills Institute here in Columbia, and before that, a computer trainer with Productivity Point International out of St. Louis, providing training for the Department of Natural Resources in Jefferson City.
My job here with Web Communications is that of a Programmer/Analyst, and to serve as their IT Pro. The position is brand new, so my specific duties are still a work-in-progress. Though I know that Lori has several large-scale projects in mind.
Until then, I'll be taking a more active role in the PHP Birds-of-a-feather user's group, and will continue to give talks on Cross-Site Scripting.
