PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS:

|
-
Database
Project: Plan, designed and implemented an Access database with
a Visual Basic interface for a realty company. The database
contained an OLE field that linked the database to a 3D floor plan
program. The purpose of the design is to save realtor company time and
money. The time savings comes from clients that are interested in a particular house by
its attributes but not by its floor plan. The money savings comes
from the wasted time a realtor spends showing a house that hasn't a
chance with the client.
-
Senior
Project: Plan, design and implement a data warehouse that uses
the internet to gather demographic information about a particular
customer. Information is also gathered through data mining of an
existing datamart.

-
Management Information Systems:
Plan, design, and
implement a presentation about the Chicago Board of Trade. Because the
class had all information science majors, I knew everyone was going to
use PowerPoint. I told my group that I wanted to do something
different, maybe use my video camera. We decided to tape ourselves
giving a news broadcast about CBOT. We broadcasted from a booth and
then cut the camera "live" to people in the field. We compared
the old "open outcry" method (done in black and white) to
the new electronic (done in color) method. The professor like the
presentation so well, she asked for a copy of the tape.
