I completed my first week of work at the Ohio State University. It’s a very large organization and the group I work for, The Office of the Chief Information Officer, is a large group. I spent the first couple of days being introduced to team members and attempting to set up my PC with all the required development software required for me to do my job. By mid afternoon Wednesday I was able to log on to a database and log on to the development environment. I was given my first project Tuesday to get started once I thought I had everything in place. It was a simple project just to make sure I had proper access to everything I needed, which we ended up having to adjust my access. That first project also helps to start learning the Development Processes used at Ohio State. I was able to complete the project and started testing Friday, but access held me up from completing my testing on Friday. I have also been assigned a larger project already and I look forward to getting back to work on Monday and having work lined up for me. The last half of the week went by a lot quicker as I had project work to keep me busy throughout the day.
The team seems to be a good group of people and my mentor for learning the processes at Ohio State, Jason Richards, has been very helpful during this transition process.
