      API Programming Intern

      Though hired on as an API programming intern I had several areas of responsibility across many projects. One of my primary responsibilities was administrating our company's ticket management suite which had me work closely with several business units including User Support, Network Systems Administration, Facilities Management, and Applications Support. I collaborated with many of these groups and others on projects where I report directly to the Process Quality Manager of our branch.My API programming experience was all self directed through this position, where I developed several POCs and implemented one larger project where I assisted a new service offering in launching their support tool.
