John McDavitt
Business Process Analyst
John's exceptional contributions have been instrumental in the success of the Gato site launch process and the continued cyclical development of Dos Gato. His recent role as project manager for the new Calico Timeline template, used on the 125th Anniversary site, exemplifies his dedication and skill. John oversaw meticulous testing of the template to ensure seamless integration of completely new content types. He effectively managed a project board, maintained regular communication with the testing team, and ensured validation across a wide range of devices and browsers. The level of detail John provided in the development and testing phases of the Calico Timeline template resulted in a highly functional and visually pleasing new template for Gato users.
In addition to his work on the new template, John spearheaded the site review process for the 125th Anniversary website. Despite a demanding timeline, he ensured the swift development and launch of the site by promptly notifying stakeholders of changes and maintaining clear communication with the Division of Marketing and Communication. Thanks to John's commitment and hard work, this high-profile website was successfully launched on schedule and without any issues. The new Calico Timeline template has been so positively received across campus that multiple Gato editors have requested access to it for their own projects. There is no higher praise than these requests for access, which highlight John’s excellent project management skills.
