  Mar 2000 - Nov 2009

  In this position I helped with application, data and server security. I also served as a bridge for communication between the Hosting Services group and Development group. At the time there was a lack of communication and trust between these groups. I worked to facilitate the growth of that trust and provide information and leadership to both sides to help them understand the other and improve communications. I also created custom applications to help facilitate this.
