Data Manager
Quincy, Il
While working as Data Manager, I designed, programmed, and maintained our student information database system – Blessing-Rieman Information System (B.R.I.S). This was a secured client-server application I developed using MS Access and Visual Basic for Applications and consisted of numerous forms, code modules, queries, and reports. This system was used throughout the college to manage all types of important data related to our recruits, students, alumni, etc., and I was responsible for all aspects of its design, functionality, installation, and use by employees.I also served as the college’s webmaster and was responsible for all aspects of designing, programming, and implementing the college’s online web presence. Over the years, I used a range of technologies to accomplish these goals from MS FrontPage to VB.NET, ASP.NET, and AJAX.Other roles I served in the college were: Blackboard Learning System online course administrator, general technology consulting, and I frequently assisted with Help Desk activity. This position required a varied and extensive knowledge of computers including: database design and programming, website design and programming, as well as general knowledge of computer hardware and networking. At times I supervised one or two student workers and oversaw data entry in the college’s database systems.I also participated in the College’s Information Technology Planning Committee as well as the College’s Marketing Committee.
