Jennifer Hoyte is a skilled and experienced
technical-solutions professional. She is passionate about
technology, teaching, and training. With a mark of excellence in
her work, Jennifer is committed to bridging the gap between
customer needs and technical-system solutions.
Jennifer’s
experience in technical services spans decades of committed and
creative service in a diversity of capacities. Jennifer has served
as a Research Scientist, Software Development Manager, Director of
Systems & Programming, and Technical Consultant to several
organizations.
Jennifer has served in her current role,
Director of Technical Services for Serenity Projects, Inc, since
1997. In this role, Jennifer is responsible for Application System
development and management, Internet/intranet development and
support, Documentation development, Corporate Training, and
Financial Administration.
Graduating with a distinction in
Computer Science, Jennifer earned her Bachelor’s degree in
Computer Science and Mathematics from Ohio State University. She
went on to earn her Masters degree in Computer Science while
working as a Lecturer/Graduate Teaching Associate. In this role,
Jennifer made immediate use of her coursework and passion for
teaching, preparing lecture material and assignments and
facilitating classes on Data Processing and Advanced Programming.
After college, Jennifer continued to lecture her favorite
programming language - IBM/370 Assembler.
Jennifer's first
post-graduate job was as a Researcher at Battelle Memorial
Institute, a large and privately-owned research organization. With
the Institute, Jennifer served as part of a group supporting
BASIS, an existing hierarchical database system, and developing a
new relational database management system called DM. Jennifer
continued with this group as it was spun off as Information
Dimensions, Inc. (IDI) with a focus on the second-generation of
BASIS/DM - the new Document Management System, BASISplus.
Jennifer’s responsibilities with ISI included project management
and development of the Database Administrator's modules and
associated utilities for BASISplus.
Working in software
development equipped Jennifer with experience in programming for
multiple platforms and gave her a keen understanding of the issues
associated with porting software to various operating systems.
Jennifer later transitioned to head the Office Integration group,
which was responsible for developing the user interfaces necessary
for word processors and other desktop applications to interface to
data residing in a BASISplus database. This experience would serve
to spark within Jennifer an interest in the desktop development
arena.
After moving to Florida in 1993, Jennifer continued to
build on her multi-platform skills as Director of the Systems and
Programming for the City of Hollywood. As Director of this
division, Jennifer was responsible for implementing and
maintaining the metropolitan area network, the helpdesk, the
training lab and all software applications on the mainframe and
PCs citywide.
Today, Jennifer continues to serve many of
the organizations of which she has been a part through
professional Technical Consulting. Jennifer also continues to
exercise her love of teaching by serving as an Adjunct Faculty
member with various colleges and universities in South Florida. In
this capacity, Jennifer both serves as an experienced facilitator,
as well as an online course developer.
Jennifer’s history
and long-standing corporate and professional relationships serve
to illustrate her commitment to providing innovative and savvy
technical system solutions that meet and exceed the needs of her
customer. She is committed to and known for her quality
workmanship and endorsement of excellence at every step of each
project.
Jennifer now serves as a member-at-large of the Drucker Society of South Florida to
ensure the Society’s quality and effectiveness in the technical
arena.
