A FEW CAPTURE OF MY SKILLS AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES I CAN INTRODUCE OR CONTRIBUTE FREELY TO BUSINESSES

PBX/IVR SETUP

Free PBX/IVR with CRM setup

Private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone system recommended for company official calls. Its functionality includes switching calls from customers through extension numbers to staff/customer care agents or within staff at free cost while enabling all staff to share a single phone line for official purposes. In contrast to a public switched telephone network, using a PBX saves the cost of requiring a line for each user to the telephone company’s central office.

 

Optionally, with the implementation of the PBX, a single official number made known to the public can now be managed with multiple handhelds using single social tools like WhatsApp telegram, and all conversations can be monitored in one dashboard.

 

 

More benefit of PBX includes cloud recording for proper call monitoring, which is also linked with a customer relationship management system (CRM) to help the designated department manage and follow up with new and old clients.

 

The IVR system keeps the flow of incoming calls well organized and decentralized to the designated department. Thanks to the use of a text-to-voice system, which enables voice scripting for caller tune with working numeric command.

 

My experience setting up this service for clients over the years will greatly benefit your company because I am open-minded to train, ensure I save on the setup cost, and help the company focus only on the necessary subscription charges.

MEDIA

VIDEO EDITING, FILMMAKING, AND SCRIPT WRITING

 

Exploring the media sector has earned me experience in video production, filmmaking, script writing, and media law. I have learned to apply this vital experience while executing or supervising video editing. I have good expertise in producing attractive montages, lower-thirds, animations, thrillers/short videos and lots more.

 

I can conveniently work on average usage with Premier Pro, Filmora, Cap Cut, and VideoPad by N.C.H. I can quickly adapt to editing software with a regular video editing environment and tools.

DATA MANAGEMENT

LOGOS INTERNATIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOL DATA ANALYSIS AND ADVANCED SPREADSHEET AUTOMATION

My experience in the use of spreadsheets over the years has earned me advanced knowledge in executing customized analyses. For instance, I have professionally built a school result report card that factored the complete school cumulative system in all termly circles using a spreadsheet.

 

 

WADA AWARDS AUTOMATED RESULT AND ANALYSIS 

I have also built an automatic grading system for competition, factoring all stages and automating position sequences. See the image preview below.

 

In addition to the services mentioned above, I can build automated sales records, inventory reporting, or any customized account reporting intake or system.

All executions were done via cloud computing to enable real-time remote live monitoring.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

SCHOOL PORTAL STUDENT OR STAFF ONLINE DASHBOARD OR PROFESSIONAL ERP SETUP WITH LIVE REPORTING, MEMOS AND SCHEDULE

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) application software helps organizations automate and manage core business processes for optimal performance. Customizing any ERP application software to fit into any organization’s structures and activities is a unique gift I have realized in my experience over the years. However, considering that most ERP software is expensive for certain organizational budgets, I have identified specific free plugins and applications that can be installed or organized into any official website to achieve the same functionality an ERP software can give, depending on the organization’s core activities. For instance, keeping the student, staff, and parent activities well organized is essential in a school setting. Therefore, I have identified plugins to manage communication between school management staff, parents and students or vice versa. These plugins are capable of presenting user dashboards based on their assigned capabilities. A sample of a student dashboard is shown below.

 

As a tech-savvy person, I can quickly become acquainted with any technological tools for taking memos, keeping track of staff permissions, and scheduling meetings, among other daily official activities.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT APPLICATION SETUP FOR SOUTHWALK CAPITAL IN ABUJA, NIGERIA – A MICROFINANCE AND LOAN SERVICING COMPANY.

The financial service-related application comes with easy customizable programming Interface. It has the functionality of managing Branches, Borrowers, Loans, Repayments, Collateral Register, Calendar, Collection Sheets, Savings, Savings Transactions, Investors, Investor Accounts, E-Signatures, Payroll, Expenses, Other Income, Asset Management, Reports, and Accounting.

INTERNET LIVE TRANSMISSION/BROADCASTING

ONLINE TV/RADIO CHANNEL WITH PROFESSIONAL LIVESTREAM TO MULTIPLE SOCIAL PLATFORMS

Over the years, I have earned diverse experience in live streaming. This experience enables me to conveniently work on any broadcasting software and distribute to social or satellite stations/platforms that allow live broadcast sequences via Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) or dedicated streaming servers.

 

I have also understood the rules of frames, sound parameters, bandwidth management, and system configuration required for live streaming. Learning from these experiences enables me to configure my streaming settings/parameters to suit any environmental network condition for a smooth streaming experience.

 

My experience in website development enables me to set up online video-on-demand or live video/audio channels. I also have a traceable record of setting up a live radio and television channel on Android, making it available on the Google Play Store. Reference: VOWTV on Play Store.

 

WEB DESIGN FOR PERSONAL USE, COMMUNITY OR E-COMMERCE

WEB DESIGN, BRANDING, E-MAIL CAMPAIGNS AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT WITH AUTO POSTING TO MULTIPLE CHANNEL

I have earned diverse experiences over the years in website development. These include debugging, website transfers, backup/recovery, DNS routing, API integrations, and All language translation. My experience in graphic design and animations enables me to create a unique front-end look and feel for user interfaces.

I have advanced experience in automating certain website updates or blog posts to automatically repost instantly or on schedule to e-mails and other social handles like Twitter, Google My Business, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Then, manually convert the post into motion video for TikTok broadcast.

 

I can conveniently build a social community website where users can communicate, own and customize their profiles and lots more.

My experience over the years with website themes and plugins enables me to reconfigure any website themes, plugins, or tools from the program package files to be remodified to fit into organizational activities terms, phrases or usage.

 

E-COMMERCE WITH INTERNATIONAL ONLINE PAYMENT GATEWAY FOR ONLINE STORE SALES, DONATIONS, OR RECURRING PAYMENT FEES. Recommended for Companies, Schools, Religious Bodies or N.G.O.s

 

Application Programming Interface (API) and integrations is a unique experience I have come to be acquainted with over the years. Most payment gateways are sequenced to work on dedicated platforms via specific integration processes. I can configure the use of online payment for any purpose. Whether on an e-commerce store, payment-related management, or website. My experience in branding and Domain Name System (DNS) enables me to maintain clients’ unique URL appearance for easy user references for any payment setup.

 

COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND MANAGEMENTS

COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING, FILE RECOVERY, WORKSTATION SETUP WITH REAL-TIME MONITORING, DESKTOP REMOTE CONTROL AND WIFI/LAN NETWORKING FOR OFFICE SETTINGS

 

My experience over the years has earned me fundamental knowledge in Wireless Fidelity network protocols (Wi-Fi) or Local area network (LAN) cabling/Networking, which enables me to manage multiple computers to be set up as workstations involving an act of configuring more than two systems to communicate with each other and also to be controlled by a dedicated system assigned as a server. I can also easily set up file transfer and printer sharing from segmented points via static internet protocol (I.P.) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). I understand the process of router configuration, point-to-point radio, service set identifier (SSID), captive portal, bandwidth management and lots more.

 

I have come to professionally understand the importance of certain security settings and restrictions on P.C.s and the use of parental control. Thus, I have been able to run a personal cybercafé business centre of more than ten computers and have also set up and configured more than 30 computers for companies like schools and call centres. These restrictions help maximize organizational P.C.s’ lifetime and allow management to control official focus and time management.

 

Remote control and live monitoring help organize stays organized and keep investigative track record of certain low or high performance of staff. For instance, senior management from distance offices can remotely give an explanatory solution to staff on their dedicated official P.C. and save time scheduling a physical meeting for the same purpose.

 

Depending on the speciality of an organization, it is important to have all P.C. security and control in place for all official computers.
