Project Manager
T Frost Consulting Project Manager
Jan. 2016 - Jan. 2018Villa Park ILI started a consulting company part-time and it quickly grew. I am a sole proprietor servicing small businesses’ Project Management and Web Design needs. I handle all aspects of the business including marketing, Project Management, Accounting, Customer Service and Web Design. I wear many hats, but I get the most satisfaction from translating the customer’s needs into a project and then completing that project. My portfolio and customer testimonials can be found here: http://www.tfrostconsulting.com/ • Managed a SDLC project for a client at Salesforce to create a fault tolerant vendor contact site utilizing Python and ElasticSearch hosted in AWS. Allows for fast searching on multiple information vectors. • Office Move for Hartree Partners. Worked with General Contractor on floor plan and construction. Coordinated subcontractors, IT, AV and Utility Vendors, movers. Communicated build-out plan and move schedule to end users. Supervised breakdown, move and setup of all IT equipment, furniture, appliances, AV equipment, etc. As the office lost its lease expectantly, the move schedule was shortened, but I was able to complete the build-out and move two weeks ahead of the deadline. • Terminal Scheduler Consultant at Buckeye. I provide relief scheduling for several weeks covering the Chicago Complex. This involved tracking movement and inventories for 90 tanks, 12 pipelines and 80 customers. I used my IT background to develop a detailed tracking and forecast solution in Excel as well as training documentation for future schedulers.
