I have quite a bit of experience with IT/Tech related work.
That spans handling end user tech support needs. Troubleshooting software and hardware issues. Dealing with server and infrastructure issues.
And then there’s experience developing websites and applications using, you guessed it, a broad range of platforms. Developing an app built on Access using the built in VBA. Creating a web application with PHP accessing a database on MySQL. Building an iPhone/iPad app using C++. Crafting a web based platform for handling lunch program signups/orders, recipe and production recordings for NSLP compliance documentation and sales/pickup information that was built on Apache/Django in Python.
Some things require significant bits of data to be stored and accessible in a way that will require its manipulation and use be architected in particular ways for performance, usability and flexibility. I have experience building these kinds of structures, and actually kind of like it! The two best examples of this are the work I did at Statistical Research, Inc. with what got called SRID. Building out a structure that could be used for capturing materials origins in an excavation through its storage, analysis and repatriation. The other would be building Time4Lunch which handled meal and menu planning, reports on needed ingredients for those meals, meal ordering and signups, meal production, sales and meal pickups and then reports to provide insight into each step through the process.
All of this means that putting together the underlying infrastructure for these kinds of applications is a thing I have more than a little familiarity with.
Working at SRI, I started out as primary tech support for their Redlands office. Managing the servers, network and handling issues with shared resources and user computers. I ended up the lead developer for SRID, their system for handling the huge amounts of data generated in the field and processed back at the office. Allowing for tracking materials from their excavation through analysis to where ever it would end up at. There was a small team of four others who were also working on building this out. Most of the time I was there all of this was happening in the middle of large projects.
And that’s a fairly brief overview of the kinds of experience I have with technology related experience.
