Aradan

Primary work area: Laptops
Additional work areas: BETA, A/V Testing

Other parts of Free Geek I have worked in previously: Thrift Store, Hardware Testing, and Server Build

Projects

Desktops, Laptops, & Servers

Worked with database coder to develop features for the DB (or network boot) that can provide more complete/accurate hardware information at any point in the Triage/Evaluation/Build/QC process
- Matches information provided by hardware to huge tables of CPU info in the DB
- Reports back clear, accurate, and consistent information for 2000+ CPU models
- Accessible via network boot or through a web interface (thanks to Ryan for all the frontend)
- Could be made part of the digitized Systems Evaluation flow charts

A/V

Prepare and provide training to other staff
- Detailed triaging of A/V gizmos
- Terminology and identification of gizmos/technologies/cable types
- Testing methodology

Past Projects

Developed proposal for updated Laptop build specs
Developed a system for pricing graphics cards and incorporated into Thrift Store pricing system
Mapped gizmo flow to the Thrift Store - what comes from where and how (very outdated now, though)
Developed A/V testing infrastructure - Mobile Operations Platform MEGAWEAPON and the U.S.S. Standard Resolution
Updated A/V triage procedure, signs, and documentation
Updated motherboard testing labels
Cross-trained as Server Build instructor
- Updated Server labels and documentation for better usability
- Server Catalog - establishing more consistent system for labeling, cataloging, and pricing built servers to ease sales/disbursement process
Working Group on 360-degree reviews for Collective members

-===General===
+===Desktops, Laptops, & Servers===
-* Major redesign/automation of pricing system for Desktops, Laptops, and Servers in the Thrift Store
+* Worked with database coder to develop features for the DB (or network boot) that can provide more complete/accurate hardware information at any point in the Triage/Evaluation/Build/QC process
-** Created tables including every CPU made by AMD and Intel from 2003 onward
+** Matches information provided by hardware to huge tables of CPU info in the DB
-** Developed new pricing logic that is more adjustable and better matches current/future Free Geek hardware trends
+** Reports back clear, accurate, and consistent information for 2000+ CPU models
-** Working on integrating CPU tables and logic into the DB to automate pricing process
+** Accessible via network boot or through a web interface (thanks to Ryan for all the frontend)

-===Future===
-* Develop features for the DB (or network boot) that can provide more complete/accurate hardware information at any point in the Triage/Evaluation/Build/QC process
-** Would use same resources in the DB already in place for the pricing system
-** Would provide consistent, accurate, and more easily readable presentation of key hardware details/system specs
-** Would improve consistency/fairness of build specs
 ** Could be made part of the digitized Systems Evaluation flow charts
