In my role as Assistant Vice President, I manage the development program for nine applications that include commercial online banking products. This responsibility includes building a development and support team for those nine applications. During my tenure in this position, we have implemented two major hardware and software upgrades and two additional upgrades remain in progress. Budgets for these projects total over eighteen million dollars. These upgrades have required extensive work with 15+ internal and external vendors, development staff, and an executive management team.
