Worked briefly as a designer to experience a different aspect of the software life cycle. This position allowed me to work more closely with the business and view projects from a completely different perspective.Chiefly worked in Dreamweaver to create responsive, reusable designs that can be used as active UI layers.Worked within an Agile team, to allow myself to operating as a developer as well working in both the RAD and STS IDEs on both the UI and Mid-tier layers.After being in the role briefly, it became evident to me that the value of this position was questionable for the company. I worked with senior management to draw out a new software lifecycle that did not require involvement from this position. In my division, the role was removed and the team was dissolved, allowing the members to move on to new roles where they could provide more value.

We also served as the knowledge base on how to successfully use the tools at our disposal. The primary tools used were Quicktest Professional and Quality Center.

Worked primarily in TeamSite with HTML, lite JavaScript, and CSS.The role was not technical in nature, however it did allow me to see the interaction between many facets of the company including developers, marketing, legal, technical writers. It provided enough insight into the company that I knew I wanted to return, just not to the particular role.
