transformations. Utilized DMT in relationship with AI and currently working on an AI to Remedy and Service
Level Agreement for network alerts for routers. Created a documentation tool for documenting Remedy
changes including automatically updating change history and help text, dynamic object list menus and
management of documentation at the enhancement/bug level and project level.
 First Data (7/14 – 10/14) – Tasked with two projects including a service request “wizard” for creating a new type
of SRD and Corporate onboarding for employees and contractors. Utilized SRM 8.1 advanced interface forms
for creating the “SRD request” request and customized the fulfillment application (work order) to support various
notifications and additional functionality. The onboarding application included providing a custom front end
application that “sat on top of” SRM 8.1 fulfilling the need to have the initial onboard request prior to submission
of the SRM request. The SRM request (created through backend interfaces) generated multiple and conditional
work orders based on values in the onboarding application with custom and out of the box notifications,
approvals, email approval processing, and SLM functionality. The front end application included dynamic pie
charts to show completion of the onboarding process, drill down levels of candidate information, usage of cell

and is tasked with increasing automation of end user and management functions. Enhancements to all facets
of email including functionality for approvals and updating incidents and change requests via inbound email
processing for 7.6 and 8.1 platforms. All outbound email is HTML with dynamic data, tables, and headings

values as well as emails for change requests with tables including the list and status of approvals/approvers).
Additional items include SRM advanced interface and standard interface development using multiple AOTs and
PDTs to accommodate an SRD, SLM management for front end and back end applications, enhanced survey
features, automation of inbound email that is rejected due to an incorrect people record match as well as other
errors – automating creation of an incident and assigning it to the specified team that fixes said errors using
proper interfaces including: CAI, interface create, and RBE processing. During the course of this engagement

customizations – all ITSM applications are used.

inadequate 7.1 implementation. Tasks included removing bugs, reviewing customizations and replacing them,

7.6.4 including incidents and work orders with heavy emphasis on SRM. Created multiple custom projects
