Web Developer

• Joining the Nationwide Personal Lines Services Service Advantage team was a great opportunity to hone my development skills, learn new technologies, gain better understanding of best practices applied within Nationwide's corporate environment. I learned to collaborate with teams spread out over several states, building team rapport and integrating new web applications with existing architecture while maintaining consistent look and feel as well as adapting to new software development techniques like Agile/SCRUM.
• The objective was to be instrumental in the conversion of Nationwide's Windows based ColdFusion 8 CF8 Websites and apps to a Linux based ColdFusion 10 CF10 version.
• My role included the successful initial adaptation of the current Windows websites Commercial, Workspace, Personal Lines, etc. to conform to the new Linux standard of file naming conventions, smoke test and cite any anomalies within the code or server set up that will inhibit the transfer to the new environment. I've been very successful in discovering adaptability issues, server set up issues and have passed on this knowledge so the new team can escape time consuming research and be able to handle these issues easily.
• I learned a great deal during my short time on this project, not the least of which is the Des Moines Nationwide version of Agile Software development including SCRUM and communication techniques. I've become well versed in the use of SVN, and daily organization of tasks to fit within the 2 week iteration, discussing blockers, coordinating backlogs and future iteration work for myself and understanding other's roles regarding current/future iterations. I plan to learn more about the Test Driven Development TDD style of programming prevalent in the current ADC, which I did not receive exposure to while on this project.

• The objective was to provide the ability to identify prospective or current customers as members of an Affinity Group during sales and servicing interactions. Affinity Groups are organizations, companies and clubs that promote Nationwide products and Nationwide provides discounts for those affiliations. The solution need include the enhancement of customer and agent facing applications to utilize a searchable Affinity Group list on the Agent Center Intranet used by exclusive and independent agents. It also provides the ability to tag quotes and policies with Affinity Group identifiers during sales and servicing interactions to indicate and apply benefits when applicable. I worked as part of a team that built this solution. This project was a fantastic opportunity to explore several different scripting, querying and coding languages including building and consuming Web Services built in ColdFusion. This gave me a better understanding of a variety of technologies- Ajax, JQuery, XML as well as the architecture behind separating the display from the business logic and data access layers. .
• My role was to build an interactive form using Ajax, JQuery, XML, JavaScript and ColdFusion along with SQL queries to allow the agent to select Affinity Groups, search all companies within all categories Educational groups, Financial groups, etc. and then tag/identify the best benefit for the customer among multiple selections. The Affinity Picklist connected to a Webservice, displayed the organizations with a LOB, effective date and state criteria, saved to a SQL database table and retained choices throughout agent interaction with the main page. I utilized AJAX and Jquery for the bulk of interaction on the picklist, with a significant amount of ColdFusion and XML handling code.

• The objective was to take over the support and maintenance of an existing Webservice call to an external website for use with Reconstruction Cost Estimation for insurance quotes and existing policies. The Webservice would launch an external website popup, allow the agent to update Home/dwelling information and then save to both the external website and the Intranet databases. I was responsible for fielding questions regarding connectivity issues, usage instructions/functionality and troubleshooting p2p failures. The Webservice used a standard SOAP protocol with an XML response and parser that updated backend database Mainframe, DB2 and SQL tables. This was the first project I was part of, it was very challenging on many levels. I came into the project mid-launch, deploying to over one thousand independent and exclusive agents. I was given 3 weeks to familiarize myself with the application as well as build colleague rapport while learning Nationwide's system and policies while accurately supporting/updating web applications. I learned a great deal about my abilities and my strengths regarding analysis and support of existing website and database architecture as well as integrating myself into the corporate culture of the PLS SA team at Nationwide.

Responsibilities include:

• Website testing and SQL2005 database interaction writing SQL statements and updates
• Updating existing applications while building new ones that integrate/adapt to existing architecture with an eye for future changes needed.
• Handling updates/revisions for Intranet websites
• Working with team members to provide best practices for Personal Lines Servicing- Service Advantage Agent Center.
• Researching and integrating newer technologies into current systems
• Following corporate consistency standards in Web development and design
• Building rapport and mutual respect on every team I am a part of
• Contributing to the overall success of every project through action, thought and deed.
• Become an SME regarding all projects I'm involved in for any future updates/warranty work needed.

The objective was to supply Affiliates approx 10 an outlet for appreciation and congratulatory email card with a category eCard selection, Team member lookup/search with auto population of data after selection , database tracking and response administration. I was involved with the entire SDLC, from start to finish, working with the client to elicit parameters/objectives, build a design model, having review of progress meetings and working with compliance/legal for copyright adherence. The result was a personalized eCard delivered to recipients, along with a carbon-copy to their manager optional , a link back to the specific affiliate website it originated from and the ability to respond directly to the sender. I utilized ColdFusion 8, SQL2005, JavaScript and cascading style sheets to accomplish.

The objective was to take an existing intranet website and update it with the new official corporate standard, simplify the user experience to be more intuitive and allow greater control over content for the client. The project included a wide variety of Security request forms, processing database requests and a major revision of the process flow for ease of use by the SRT's customers. From start to finish there were elicitation meetings, concept of design including wire-frames and process flows, bi-weekly progress meetings, along with proof of concept QA. I worked closely with the Security Review Team's Manager and several of their staff as new ideas and progress was made. The end result was a stream-lined, easy to use/easy to navigate website with updated forms, help documentation and easy to follow instructions. The completion of this project saved the SRT multiple weeks of work troubleshooting user access requests, with a high level of validation and form processing that was absent in the previous iteration of the website. I utilized ColdFusion 8, SQL2005 database tables, JavaScript and cascading style sheets to accomplish.

The objective was to consolidate the processing of approximately 12 different forms into one centralize processing database. My role included the initial elicitation of parameters and objectives, then designing the wire-frame structure of the form process flow using Visio and PowerPoint and finally design and build the database SQL2005 structure upon which the final application would rely. The end result was a robust structural layout which my successor followed at the end of my contract. Once completed, the system will handle administrative tasks, voting/polling among its designated support team members while also allowing users to check current status of requests and final processing of customer's access requests.
