I led a development team from project conception to implementation, creating a functional information system in six months. The information system was developed using standard tools for software life cycle development and maintenance and included working in and with cross-functional teams. The development effort included several innovative strategies and combined several IS technologies. For example, both an SQL database and a coordinated set of files were continuously synchronized between the client agency and the project’s information systems. The organization’s Microsoft Outlook application was customized using “plug-in” software modules that allowed emails to be managed by, and available to, the information system application. Innovative cataloging procedures also allowed tracking and status to be driven by the upload of documents that were registered in and managed by the application. This provided a way for documents uploaded to the system to be used to track the progress and status of any particular submission to this government program.
