Experience
QVC, West Chester, PA
Server Admin Team (Windows/Linux) May 2014-August 2014
This past summer I had the opportunity to intern at QVC in their IT Department. I worked on the Server Admin team where we maintained and built over 1,300 physical and virtual servers. Working at QVC was quite an amazing experience as I had the chance to see how IT supports and drives the world’s largest digital retailer. On the Server Admin team, I was immersed in what is, really, the backbone of computing and the foundation of information technology-without a strong server infrastructure, all business would come to a halt. Prior to stepping into IT at QVC, I had little knowledge of what a massive undertaking it is to run such a department for such a large company- several thousand employees between Studio and Founders’ Parks in West Chester, PA and thousands more at QVC affiliates in the UK, Italy, Germany, Japan, China, and, coming in 2015, France.
GetPhound, Conshohocekn, PA
Web Development Intern January 2014-April 2014
I am currently interning at GetPhound, a start-up digital marketing agency in Conshohocken, PA. We primarily work with small businesses in the Greater Philadelphia Area and our main services are Website Design, Search Engine Optimization, and Social Media Marketing. Most of our sites are built using WordPress, however, we do a large amount of custom coding within this platform, so it is a great opportunity to advance not only my WordPress knowledge but my HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript foundations as well. Working in a start-up environment has shown me how, essentially, a business is run in terms of sales, finance, marketing, etc.
