* Created a web-based application suite to manage, document, and report on ExxonMobil processes and procedures. This replaced an Access-based single user application used by a subcontractor of ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil adopted this application for use with all its subcontractors as it was found to cut hundreds of man hours per month in documentation, reporting and the collation of data from partners. * Created a web based, xml driven data access layer and SQL back end for an entertainment/marketing site. The application provided a complete suite of tools to manage all data points within the application, as well as providing both canned and on-demand reporting of all data stored. The system automatically submits email and internal system notification of significant events to relevant parties.
