Experience

I consider myself to be a jack-of-all-trades that specializes in technology. If you put your mind to it, you can learn any skill you want. With that in mind I have had the opportunity to update the technology of schools across multiple campuses and districts, build homes in Mexico, remodel preschools in South Africa, be a field technician in beautiful Southern Oregon, and help churches around the world deploy and maintain new websites.

Here is some of my experience:

Website Migration Specialist

@ Sharefaith, Inc (2015 - 2018)

Supporting Churches and non-profit organizations across the world I received help requests via phone, email tickets, and chat. I would prioritize these requests by the severity of the issue as well as the age of the ticket as I supported the member’s website, phone mobile app, presentation software and/or Sunday School curriculum. As a contractor I revamped and improved the Website Migration Process taking it from an average 20 business day process to just 5-10 business days. I implemented many automation tools that assisted us, as well as kept the project on time and the member in communication. Some of these tools were Wufoo, Trello, Zapier, MailChimp and Freshdesk.

Projects Included:

Revamping the Website Migration process. When I started assisting with the Website Migrations is was tracked in several hundred lines of a Google Sheet, it averaged around 20+ business days to complete the migration and give it back to the customer. Through research and continuing to develop the process over time it was vastly improved. Now the process averages 5-10 business days, both customer and member coaches are kept in the loop with automation provided through Zapier for Wufoo, Trello, MailChimp and FreshDesk. This also provided the opportunity to not allow a member to fall out of the process as we were able to easy keep track of what was needed and follow up with them.
