My Résumé
Take a look at my work history.
Web Developer and
Marketing/Communications Coordinator
School of Education, IUPUI, Indianapolis, IN
August 2015 – PRESENT
This position has primary responsibilities for web development, marketing strategy, content development, and database administration for the IUPUI School of Education (SOE) as well as writing and photographing events for the purpose of marketing and promoting the School of Education in a variety of communications channels.
Programming
Current knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP, SQL, XML, and XSLT are required to perform the daily tasks in my position.
WCMS & Cascade Server
I am constantly working within custom, as well as the universal, WCMS framework installations. I am comfortable managing/editing content within the frameworks, customizing design, migrating to and from the framework. My first major project with the School of Education at IUPUI was to migrate the existing website to a newly redesigned site within the IU Communications Framework in WCMS. It was a serious overhaul in terms of design, programming, maintenance, management, content… basically everything. We launched the new website in December 2015 and it has been very well received by our student population, the public, as well as faculty and staff.
Four Winds Digital Signs
As one of three people on our technology team here in Indianapolis, we have our hands full and managing many projects at a time. One of my responsibilities is managing our installations of the FWI Content Manager and Content Player. Our budget only allows for us to have one content player at the time, so we have networked multiple displays to a single player to maximize our visibility within the school while keeping our financial footprint low. I develop the necessary media elements and schedule them within the FWI system. We have integrated SOE specific news feeds, event notifications, staff/faculty updates, and more. Everyday I seem to learn more about the FWI system. It is a truly powerful medium.
Social Media Management/Marketing
Manage the Departments social media accounts and market our programs/news/successes to our audience through those mediums.
Email Marketing
Curate e-mail lists for our marketing campaigns and develop targeted messages to reach that audience.
Graphic Design
Responsible for the planning, creation, and implementation of graphic design elements throughout our department. This responsibility includes educating faculty/staff about the IU Brand and proper use of existing brand elements such as our signature, marketing lockups, colors, fonts, etc.
Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, XD, and many of the other Creative Cloud applications are used on a regular basis for this role.
Photography and Videography
As the sole member of the marketing team, I am responsible for documenting events, as well as creating new and inviting graphical elements to promote our programs in the future.
Photography and Video Production are required skill sets that allow me to accomplish these tasks. I am responsible for creating this media, From Staff/Faculty headshots, to event photography, to live streaming events, you name it, I’m there.
Interpersonal and Communication
I pride myself on being an excellent communicator. As my responsibilities range from event coordination, marketing department events (fundraising, community outreach, press releases, etc.), web development, video production, and print campaigns, I have to be organized and on top of my calendar to maintain any level of sanity. In my time here at the School of Education, I have set up a ticketing system called Footprints for managing web and marketing related tasks, as well as any other projects that might arise. This allows for task/time management, prioritization, and direct communication with staff, faculty, students, and anyone else in need of assistance.
WordPress Multi-Site
Within the School of Education we have many center, student organization, faculty, and course websites run within the WordPress CMS. When I arrived nearly two years ago, there were an extraordinary amount of WordPress installations scattered about. At this point I have migrated most of them into a single multi-site installation, removed unnecessary installations, unified the design for those that required it, and continue to manage/maintain the individual installations that require such a set-up.
All things print
Whether we need new give away items (such as pens, backpacks, t-shirts, etc.), event programs, flyers, to the branded canopies we use at events, I’m the guy that puts it all together.
From the creation and customization of the graphics themselves, to vendor communication, to print, to delivery, I’m involved in all aspects of print materials for our school.
School of Education Website
WCMS:
IU Universal Framework
Quite a bit of time was spent converting our old website from a standard PHP/HTML website to something that would work within the IU Universal Web Content Management System (WCMS) Framework. This allows us to easily update content, implement calculated/reviewed design changes to a test web platform before the live site is published, collaborate on content through user management and workflows, as well as many other features.
