Welcome to my Portfolio

Armand Jones, Web Developer

Here you can view my latest SharePoint development projects.

My experience has taken me through just about every aspect of SharePoint development. Currently, I specialize in building websites using SharePoint. When I began using SharePoint, I built an managed two internal websites, which served as information host portals, hosting dynamic data for about 30 groups within the organization. Additionally, I have worked with SharePoint accelerators such as: Beezy, Bonzai and Powell365 incorporating a more client facting aspect in addition to learning to use these tools. To better implement these tools, I have also developed and presented Education, Communication, and Governance plans so as to facilitate acceptance of the new SharePoint system post-migration.

Now, at the CDC, many groups within the organization are requesting websites where they can monitor and edit their own content, saving time and money.

Most of my experience has been as a SharePoint Administrator/Developer. In doing so, I am experienced in Front End development in Office 365, as well as building InfoPath forms with workflows. My experience also includes incorporating CSS, JQuery , JQueryUI with out-of-the-box webparts. I have also implemented JQuery with list view web parts and manipulated them to maximize functionality and ease of use.

Prior to my experience in working with SharePoint, I was working as an Instructional Designer/Webinar Developer at the CDC. I developed online courses for personnel working with infectious diseases such as ebola.

Value Added Deliverables

For the first quarter of 2019, I was doing more client-facing projects, where I was planning, developing and presenting on the Governance, Communication, and Education plans for groups that had just migrated to the SharePoint Oline/Office 365 platform. These were generally one to two-hour presentations which walked team members through the best ways to maximize acceptance, communicate and assign roles and responsibilities.

Implementing Accelerator Tools

Instead of building solely in SharePoint Out-Of-The-Box tools, I began using various templated accelerator tools. Tools such as: Powell 365, Bonzai, and Beezy. These tools allowed for an easier transition for companies to not only migrate their SharePoint platforms from the 2010/2013 versions to the Online version, but also facilitated the Coomunication, Education and Governance plans for these organizations.

Cloud Migration

I began working with the ShareGate cloud migration tool. This introduced me to the process of moving from an On-Prem environment to a SharePoint Online (O365) environment.
