Lead Technical Operations & Training Coordination 2024 - 2025

CodeIgniter 3 Bootstrap 5 Training Coordination IT Support Windows OS Specialist

Operational Leadership & Modernization

From 2023 to 2025, I served as the Training Coordinator for both Computer Learning Centre and Grand Training Limited. This dual-brand leadership role required balancing the complex scheduling of corporate adult education with high-volume youth workshops.

The 2024 Digital Transformation

Parallel to my coordination duties, I spearheaded the 2024 modernization of the company's digital infrastructure. Rather than starting from scratch, I performed a comprehensive visual and functional overhaul of the existing 2015 platform. Working within the established CodeIgniter 3 framework, I migrated the frontend to Bootstrap 5 to achieve a mobile-responsive "2024 look" and engineered new backend features to expand the system's capabilities.

  • UI Refresh: Replaced the dated 2015 interface with a streamlined, high-productivity layout.
  • New Functionality: Integrated custom tools into the CodeIgniter core to automate repetitive coordination tasks.
  • Data Visibility: Improved the reporting views to make managing corporate enrollments and course schedules faster and more intuitive.

On-Premise IT Support & Tutoring

Maintaining the physical training environment was central to my role. I provided on-premise IT Support on the side, managing hardware labs and network stability. My deep product knowledge allowed me to transition seamlessly into instruction:

Architecture & Technical Logic

A sample of the CI3 logic used to manage brand-specific course data within a unified database.

// Handling precise scheduling for 2024-2025 term cycles
public function get_schedule($brand_id) {
  $this->db->where('brand_id', $brand_id);
  $this->db->order_by('start_date', 'ASC');
  return $this->db->get('training_sessions')->result();
}
