Web Systems Developer at New College Stamford

Since 2009 I had been working to develop all aspects of New College Stamford online presence. Having a close working relationship with the Marketing department we pushed New College Stamford through some tough economic times and continued to work towards providing an outstanding website with added functionality above our competitors.

Major Projects

Online Application System

One major advantage in recent developments came when I developed a clean and easy to use online application system with advanced data cleansing features and automated saving functionality.

Impact:

• New College Stamford noticed an increase in online applications
• Applications were pushed directly into their MIS databases
• Made significant cost savings from moving away from paper-based systems
• Improved staff efficiency in processing applications

Payment Portal

I was also responsible for development of a payment portal to handle online payments for:

• Trips
• Kits
• Fees
• Bus Passes

Benefits:

• Reduced administrative burden
• Improved payment tracking
• Enhanced parent/student experience
• Streamlined financial operations

Approach

I worked closely with all other departments in the organisation to:

• Find new ways of making cost savings
• Improve existing systems
• Implement change effectively
• Support the college's digital transformation

This role taught me the importance of understanding user needs, working cross-functionally, and building systems that deliver tangible business value.
