In the mid 1990's I designed the animations and interfaces for several computer based training modules that used videos and Q&A style training mechanisms to teach sales associates how to properly sell product. I also edited and compressed the video specifically for optimal playback via CD.
In 1996-97 I created a marketing hybrid CD containing an audio/video demo reel with photos of their recording studio and discographies for a Chicago/Evanston based Studio and Jingle house called Joy Art Music/Copia Records. They are most famous for producing the Oprah Winfrey's opening theme music and many McDonald's commercials.
The project included an Enhanced CD that was playable on both Mac and PC, CD and CD-cover artwork and a tri-fold brochure.
Around 2005 I designed a company logo for an Indianapolis barber shop that was looking for an 'Old-Fashioned' look and feel.
Starting in 2007,I worked for Accenture for three years primarily as a tester, but using Rational Testing Tools (Java) and Quick Test Pro.
I was hired by Nielsen from Accenture in 2010 and worked under various technical roles. I was developing a Java application using Spring, and built a Flex based application using Flex Builder and ActionScript. I had also developed a way to create a million excel spreadsheets based on ETL data and an XSLT Transformer. The process saved days of computing time.
I started working at Windstream in 2015 primarily as a Java developer, but I moved quickly to working in both DevOps as a Linux and Azure administrator and as a front-end development using Node, React and JavaScript. I also built and maintain all our Java application in Docker containers running on Docker Swarm.
