Accomplishments & Experience
Listed below are my accomplishments and work experiences:
Streamlining the “Search Engine Compatibility Assessment” service
The SECA is comprised of several in-depth audits on both on-site and off-site SEO factors, and an Action Report with the company’s SEO recommendations. I improved and expanded this existing business product, increasing its marketability and value for both the business and the client. I standardised the workflow to decrease time and costs required to carry out the related tasks. This service then sold for £3,500 each.
Google Analytics certification
Certified for 18 months, valid since September 29, 2010.
Graduation project ‘Google Apps Premier vs. Microsoft BPOS’
Designed and implemented two domains including an on-site Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environment. Successfully migrated one domain to Google Apps Premier. Successfully migrated the other domain to Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite. Documented migration process and feature comparison. Graduated July 2010.
My Mission
I make it my personal mission to be innovative in what I do, private and business alike. I strive to keep further developing my skills, preferably in multiple areas at once. My added value lies within the combination of knowledge-areas communication, technology and design. I have high affinity with these facets and I am particularly strong when a combination of these three is desired: the big picture. As a co-worker, my strengths lie within my open and extrovert personality.
