As a member of the Research Informatics group within the Structural Chemistry department, I was the technical lead for the implementation of an Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) system used by Discovery scientists. I interviewed Chemists, Biologists, and Pharmacologists to determine what they did on a day-to-day basis to tailor the ELN training to meet their specific needs. I then developed and delivered the hands-on training curriculum that was used to train over 300 users of the ELN software. Additional duties included design and development of scientific software applications that enhanced over 300 scientists’ abilities to perform discovery research, and monitoring of research-critical applications and servers.

As a member of the Professional Services group I worked on the design, development and delivery of custom applications based on Accelrys' Pipeline Pilot application platform. My role on the largest Professional Services contract that they had ever landed included interviewing stakeholders to determine their needs, and integrating legacy registration system data into the new system to ensure that downstream systems would continue to function. During the implementation phase, my project responsibilities included database design and implementation for the chemical registration system.
