For the “science fair” Provo Labs Solution will be having September 5th, we are all commenting on our mad skills.  Though I’m the youngest member of the team, I believe I still have some skills to offer.  I’m one year away from graduating from Brigham Young University in Information Systems.  It’s an awesome program where I learned UML design for object-oriented programming.  I took a database class where I learned about design, MySQL, and database transactions.

I’ve also become a JAVA guru, specializing in DAO architecture for both desktop and web applications.  Last year, I designed and implemented both desktop and web applications for a video rental store complete with fucntionalities to rent, buy, and return videos along with keeping track of transactions, products, and customers.

Earlier this summer, I learned all about the scripting language, PHP.   During this time, I was working for the Midwives College of Utah.  Here I refined my programming and database skills with Jonathan Balinski assisting me.

Since then, I have learned an MVC framework for PHP called CAKE.  It is a variation of Ruby on Rails for PHP.

These sets of skills give me the tools necessary to create custom web applications for practically any business.  For 6 years, I have worked with a company called 1st Choice Vacation Rentals (www.choice1.com) where I have worked with non-technical people.  There I sold and helped design website applications for individuals and businesses alike.  Both of these seperate roles have molded me into a highly effective web consultant for Provo Labs Solutions.
