Task

While working as a Web Developer / Designer for the CDC NCHS I proposed a better and more efficent way to display and interact with the various health data publications that were being disseminated by the CDC NCHS by placing them into interactive jQuery DataTables which I customized by having multiple meetings and presentations with decision makers to determine what kinds of filters and options should be included in the implementation. I also engineered the solution so that the full lists of these publications which was very extensive going back decades and included thousands of individual publications could be sourced for the DataTable not by code on the webpage but rather by specifically encoded CSV databases that the customized jQuery and Javascript code I engineered would then transform into HTML and interactive entries within the DataTables. This would allow for easy updating to the DataTables simply by adding to the CSV databases as well as a way to easily keep all of the entires in centralized database locations. I then customized the UI / UX for seamless integration into the CDC NCHS website and implemented the solution into production which is still being used by the CDC NCHS today. This received positive feedback from the NCHS Director as well as the head of the NCHS Office of Information Services (OIS).
