I will continue to partner with all team members to learn and maintain knowledge of our support and product portfolio to be a valued contributor in 2023 Led the revamp of MC93s for RDC. This effort included updating the launcher to include additional functionality beyond buy, move, sell by adding webclips and additional applications. Created the launcher, profile, products. Tested internally and with ITFSD partners. Because of the 300 plus MC93’s at each RDC, I needed for onsite support staff and a 2 hour maintenance window during non-production hours and I was able to provide full support for those partners during that period . From start to finish I coordinated the creation, scheduling, rescheduling, and deployment, confirmation of update and testing with ITFSD staff for all 16 RDCs. Served as SME for WFC suite of products. Created training and documentation for DCO staff on PTT Pro Portal role.

Continued support for SC Ops and their requests to add additional functionality to TC7x and MC93 devices. Coordinated the push with DCO, created CRQs, created profiles, products, and initiated the deployments. Acted as Intune backfill. Attended Microsoft training to further knowledge so I was able to tend to all Intune requests when Cory was OOO for vacation and parental leave. Continued to collaborate with the team to request new work. I was eager to help my peers when they had a demanding workload and use that experience expand my knowledge in our portfolio. As we continue our migration journey, I look forward to learning from our store counterparts so that I can continue being an asset under this new structure. During my midyear evaluation, I was advised that I am trending toward a Sr. Engineer and continue to be a high performer, so I selected “Exceeds Expectations” for the year. I am pleased with all that I have been able to contribute from a leadership and project perspective as well as my ability to have the team's Senior and Lead Engineers offload work when their plates are full during a very busy and rewarding 2023. I enjoy working with this team and look forward to learning and contributing even more in 2024 under the new leadership structure and on-prem environment.
