I would like to begin by describing how I worked my way up to my current position of I.T. Developer at Skagit Valley College. I started working at the help desk assisting students with log-ins and computer issues. During some downtime my supervisor, Benjy, decided to test out my Web Assistant skills. I seemed to have a natural talent for editing the web pages and Benjy saw my potential, so he put me to work doing Web Assistant tasks. I began to develop what Dr. Coorough, the MIT department chair, has said are rare talents: the ability to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript, and pretty much any other programming language. I can also do most everything multimedia related such as graphics, video production, printing, and Flash. As a technician, I can solve technical support issues, hardware upgrades and application installation. I was doing such a good job that I was asked to be hired on part time as an IT developer. Benjy moved me from the help desk down the hall into an office with him, and we set to work designing the first Paperless Progress Reporting System for the college. I began by creating the Information Architect Documents. After thorough documentation and planning I began to implement my designs by hand coding using a relatively new technique called Model View Controller. This is very different than a standard webpage, and even a normal web application is not the same as an MVC web application. The MVC technique of coding is very powerful and allows me to perform complex operations from a web page interface. Benjy and I put that power to use in the form of converting an age old paper progress reports system into a paperless progress reporting system.
