| Web Developer - March 2001 - Present | ||||
| Optimus, Inc., Chicago, IL - One of Chicago's most successful Video Post Production and Multimedia Facilities Job Duties: As a member of Optimus' interactive team, I helped bring an old-fashioned post-production house into the digital age. The department specializes in creating on-line video footage libraries and databases. In addition to our external clients, I have built numerous web-based utilities that revolutionized the way Optimus does business. These included a secure site that allows clients to view the most recent versions of commercials in production only minutes after they had been updated; a complex job tracking tool to help the company collect data; and in-house accounting and payroll tools.

PRINT, BROADCAST, AND MEDIA EXPERIENCE |

| Assistant Producer - March 1999 - March 2001 | ||||
| Optimus, Inc., Chicago, IL - One of Chicago's most successful Video Post Production and Multimedia Facilities Job Description: An Assistant Producer at a video post-production house is by nature a jack of all trades. During my time in the Production department, I coordinated last minute satellite feeds to London and rural Florida, crisis-managed countless client emergencies, and helped smooth interdepartmental conflicts by suggesting and testing practical solutions that were then adopted as policy. Somewhere along the way, I also became the unofficial expert on the somewhat esoteric function of XYMOX (the database program Optimus uses for billing, scheduling, library and shipping), and the answer guy on such issues as: the Fed Ex Powership computer, Windows 95 & 98, Microsoft Word, printer problems, even "why won't this copier work?" I think it stems from the fact that I rarely say, "I don't know," without following it up with, "let's figure out why." |
