Projects
General
- Major redesign/automation of pricing system for Desktops, Laptops, and Servers in the Thrift Store
- Created tables including every CPU made by AMD and Intel from 2003 onward
- Developed new pricing logic that is more adjustable and better matches current/future Free Geek hardware trends
- Working on integrating CPU tables and logic into the DB to automate pricing process
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
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 in conjunction with new pricing scheme
