the Center

Brought in to assist in recovering a catastrophic migration to a new constituent management database system (the Raiser's Edge). Continued to support office operations. Developed numerous customized MS Word and MS Excel documents that "built themselves" using Visual Basic scripts that accessed the internal database. Redesigned gift coding system to improve compatibility between the constituent/gift database and the Finance Department's accounting software. Automated operations, sometimes reducing 3-day tasks to 40 minutes. Created online video training for the most complicated processes to augment existing site documentation. Improved general efficiency enough to reduce head count.

Merck & Co., Inc.

Managed a team in the migration of the entire Merck Research Labs division, consisting of over 5000 people between three sites in New Jersey & Pennsylvania. Interviewed, hired and coordinated a team of eleven people. Developed and documented procedures for the migration of e-mail systems (MS Mail, Quickmail and UNIX mail) to MS Exchange and of scheduling software (Meeting Maker) to Schedule+. Developed custom Python application to build a customer database from eight disparate databases for tracking, planning, and coordination all personnel in all departments. (The database was later used by the desktop/NT deployment group for their planning purposes.)

Later returned to Merck's Research Labs to establish a Data Warehouse tying together information from Personnal and IT departments. Designed web applications that facilitated in software rollouts, Y2K resolutions and network topology planning. The results of this project led to the foundation of the Pilot Technologies Group.

Hoffmann-La Roche

Researched, planned and implemented departmental PC migrations from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95/NT, and from Novell to NT client configurations. Supervised team of Network Engineers. Tracked hardware assets and documented all processes.

USDA Forest Service

Developed prototype for the ACAS software application, planned a schedule of development revisions and supervised a programmer during the development. Mediated between programmer and project manager to establish common goals and development strategy. Promoted application and development at two conferences.
