What I Did
I co-oped at the UC Health Sciences Library between June 2017 and December 2017. I worked full-time, then part time during class.
I worked on several large key projects, including high stakes test system data migration, image development and deployment, as well as remote computer management.
These tasks where completed using a wide variety of technologies, including C++, VirtualBox for virtual machines, as well as Active Directory domain (AD) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).
The high stakes test system data migration was a project in where the test system used by medical students was going to be replaced by a new one. Due to this, all the 20,000 plus questions needed to be moved. I used C++ to write a program that would take the old files from the old system, format them, and flag them (if needed) so that they could be imported into the new system automatically, rather than manually having to insert all the files. This saved hundreds of man hours.
The second project involved developing a and deploying a new, updated computer image to hundreds on computers in the library. This image would then be used to move the computers to a new domain, update the software on the machine, as well as providing a tool to fix computers should they develop serious issues. In order to do this, I self taught myself how to use VirtualBox, as well as SCCM. After many overcame hurdles , multiple images were eventually successfully developed that were used long after I left.
