Work Experience

Software Developer, Instructor Neumont University

Sept 2003 - Present Salt Lake City, UT

Throughout my time at Neumont, I've had the chance to be in many roles:

Responsible of the development and maintenance of the Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS was built by modifying the GES (see more under my job at Galileo). This is the only role that I've been a part of my entire time at Neumont.

Taught all of the .NET classes (web services, remoting, ASP.NET, windows forms, C#) and the project classes that go along with them. In the project classes, instructors are in charge of creating and monitoring teams of students working on .NET projects. They help them resolve their group conflicts and mentor them on best code practices.

Maintained and enhanced the public website and several ASP.NET projects including the online application website and the lead posting service (a web service and "http post" service that collects information about prospective students and injects it into the admissions department's module in CampusVue).

The main support person at Neumont for the Campus Management products used to run the University's campus (academics, financial aid, student accounts, admissions, etc). These products include CampusVue, CampusLink, CampusPortal, and others.

Software Developer, Teacher Assistant Galileo University

Apr 2001 - Aug 2003 Guatemala City, Guatemala

Developed, as part of a small team, the Galileo Education System (GES). The GES is a dynamic web site that supported over 500 courses, 100 professors, and 2,000 students. Students were able to view the class material, assignments for each of their classes and more. The GES was built upon the ArsDigita Community System (ACS) and is currently migrating all of it's functionality to dotLRN. Technologies: AOLserver, Tcl, Oracle, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, XML.

Developed software to connect the university's Oracle database to the Banco Industrial (a commercial bank in Guatemala), allowing students to make tuition and other payments at the bank and have their university account automatically updated. Technologies: Perl and MQSeries.

Developed a dynamic web site for the Consejo de Enseñza Superior of Guatemala, http://ceps.edu.gt. CEPS is the authority in change of overseeing the private universities in Guatemala. The web site's main purpose was to keep a database of all the programs taught at those universities and allow the public to query it. Technologies: OpenACS, PostgreSQL, tcl.

I was a TA in the following classes: Web Application Technologies, Software Engineering II, Computer Science I (using Pascal).
