Rebecca Oglesby - Automated Systems Controls & I.T. After graduating from the University of Georgia in 2004 with a degree in computer science, Rebecca continued working with Eprida, with whom she worked as an undergrad studying automated system controls. She has become a veritable "jack of all trades" in her field while working for Eprida. Her list of projects include website development and a website database application that utilizes PHP, MySql and HTML to interface limited user access to a journal article database and customized user libraries. However, it is of her work in system automation that she is most proud. Rebecca has integrated computer automation into the system of a hydrogen production unit for the purpose of assuring correctness in a runtime environment while maximizing system productiveness. She is very dedicated to her work with Eprida, and considers it an honor to have the opportunity to use her limitless desire to effect change along with her considerable computer skills for the practical production of alternative forms of energy. |
