Governor's award for Excellence for leading a team to develop the Utah Hunting and Fishing mobile application 2014

Administrative services employee of the year 2019

Governor's Award for Excellence

I was the lead on a team of internal and external developers that created the Utah Hunting and Fishing mobile application. At the time this was the first government sanctioned mobile licensing platform for any type of government issued license. The application allows users to download and display hunting and fishing licenses on a mobile device. Since the release I have overseen a number of enhancements to the app including the ability to display hunt boundaries, view current wildlife related educations and e-tagging of harvested animals.
