Welcome to my personal site. My name is Yogi Grantz. I am a senior systems programmer analyst with San Diego County Office of Education, Software Application Services department. I have been with SDCOE since summer 2002. Prior to that I was a senior programmer consultant, working for State of Ohio Jobs and Family Services for six years, starting July 1st, 1996.
I graduated from Mississippi State University with Masters degree in Industrial Engineering in 1995, Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1992, and Bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering back in 1986. I worked for Dirgantara Indonesian Aerospace company from 1987 to 1990, afterward I went back to America to continue my study in Aerospace Engineering while also being a Graduate Reseaarch Assistant at MSU.
Throughout the years I have been intensely working with large and complex programs and database-driven applications in various platforms with various technologies, such as Microsoft .NET, Open Source php/AJAX , IBM, and Unisys. Currently I am in charge to lead the development and implementation of a sophisticated Travel Authorization and Account Receivables module to integrate with existing Financial Information Systems. SDCOE FIS is being used by more than forty six school districts of San Diego County. My prior project at SDCOE was design, development, and implementation of a mission critical county auditor requisition system, which also became integral part of SDCOE FIS.
I keep myself abreast with leading-edge technologies by continuously self study, research and taking online courses in Computer Science and Information System. I also support small to medium sized businesses with their web-based applications. The websites of the companies that I support are listed under my portfolio page.
Feel free to browse around, and if there is anything I could do to help you email me or post a message on the contact page.
