SDMGSenior Database/ Web programmer
May. 2007 - Oct. 2010Calgary, Alberta, CanadaAs the senior member of the application development team for this Calgary marketing company, determined direction and coding parameters around various projects and platforms. Work with junior staff in the software development cycle, overall responsibility for project standards and completion. Projects included marketing initiatives around contesting, email deployments and websites. I have contributed expertise in database design/programming, CSS and complex, dynamic website development on some larger projects for a major retailer and government tourism agency to name a few. I also assumed overall responsibility for the company’s co-located server farm, maintaining the complete infrastructure for the firm, including email, database, DNS and web server machines. At management’s direction, I orchestrated the move from the local hardware systems onto the Rackspace Cloud, eliminating the company’s responsibility for hardware and saving the firm money.
