New Job Position: UCSB web developer
comments | Posted in job | ucsb on Monday, August 13 2007 16:30:00 GMT
I'm please to say that after an interview process and submitting reference letters over the past few weeks I have been accepted on staff at the Instructional Development Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
My position at UCSB will be first and foremost that of web programmer and developer for projects requested from UCSB staff, faculty and departments. I hope to bring my 2 years of experience at M29 into good use at my new position at UCSB as I have experience: developing database backends, using MVC and more traditional procedural coding to develop a website, AJAX techniques and website, database and web server tuning.
This position actually entails a 50/50 breakdown of my time during the day. Fifty percent of the time I am to work for UCSB staff and faculty, the other fifty percent of the time I am to work as a consultant for UCSB on 3rd party contracts we have acquired. This is in a nutshell very similar to my position at M29.
I will also have auxiliary positions involving tech support and consultation work for UCSB clients. I will help troubleshoot hardware and software issues and ensure that faculty media is both productive and clear for the end user.
The interviewing staff also mentioned that there would be hopes of expanding upon this position and hiring an additional 2 to 3 developers to meet UCSB demands in the coming years. That sounded very interesting as I have experience as a leader on web based projects in my time at M29.
I would like to say thank you to all my family, previous instructors, friends and co-workers that have helped me to get where I am today. I could not have done as much as I have done already without all your persistent guidance, caring and motivation!
My first day of work is August 20th 2007. I'm eager to begin :]
