  • EXPERIENCE

    Evolvent
    San Antonio, TX

    Web Developer
    Nov 2009 - Present

    • SKILLS USED: SharePoint (including heavy template customization and user/role admin), PHP, JQuery, XML, AJAX, JavaScript, XHTML, CSS, cross-browser Web 2.0.
    • Member of the 3-person web team that built and maintained the http://www.metc.mil/ (PHP / public) website and SharePoint intranet portal for the Medical Education & Training Campus (METC).
    • Modified default SharePoint master and web pages to reflect METC themes and functionality.
    • Used JQuery, CSS, XML, and W3C standards-compliant XHTML to implement Web 2.0 GUI features such as: drop-down menus, service-specific in-processing checklist page, common content blocks site-wide, and Google Maps-based directions to METC from various points across Texas.
    • Built PHP script that imports images and text from an external website, then generates XML feeds that power the METC Tube and News Ticker modules on both public and intranet METC sites.
    • Updated Press Release pages on both public and intranet sites. Involved creation and uploading of thumbnail images, then uploading PDF newsletters, then updating the XHTML code in SharePoint Designer.
    • Streamlined and externalized commonly-used JavaScript, JQuery, CSS, XML, and XHTML blocks to simplify and make consistent content and functionality updates. Modified out-of-the-box JQuery widgets to load dynamic content from XML and XHTML data sources as opposed to static web content, thereby enhancing the content updating process for public and intranet sites.
    • Worked with 4 other METC Web Team members to enhance the METC Intranet portal's overall stability and ease of use. To date, this has involved installing and configuring local instances of WSS 3.0 on local laptops not connected to the Internet, followed by creating new site collections for testing new and improved functionality.
