Teach For America
2007 - Present
New York, NY 10018
Consulting with TFA on numerous legacy database systems, 99.9% of which are divided up between Postgres 7.x and MS SQL Server 2000. Currently engaged on upgrading both platforms to the most current versions, SS 2005 and PgSQL 8.2.3 respectively. TFA is a big not for profit concern, so I also have opportunities to script out nifty database stuff with whatever tool best fits the job, which is fun. Oh yeah, modeling and documenting all TFA database designs using the latest working version of Case Studio.
