JOB DESCRIPTION:
My area handles the department’s web presence, e-commerce and strategic online directions as well as database-driven applications and the backend IT infrastructure to support those systems.
PERSONAL:I served as the technical lead in our Odyssey HMS and Judicial implementations as well as migrating our home-grown online applications to use Odyssey’s WebStudent. Over the course of this migration, we saved 1.5 FTE and have more than tripled the number of applications we offer online.
Today, I work with any facet of the Odyssey HMS and Judicial systems as well as ensuring our WebStudent applications meet our departmental and client needs. I also work closely with the Odyssey PCS and FSS systems, helping integrate CBORD into multiple aspects of our University system.
As a native of Western Michigan's hot summers and cloudy winters, I appreciate life without humidity in sunny Denver, Colorado. When possible, the four of us (my wife, two sons and I) adventure outdoors for camping and biking the beautiful Colorado Rockies. There’s nothing quite like an afternoon of Star Wars Legos with my two boys. I also love to spend time on the ice playing hockey, and can be found there at least once a week.
