Farewell to Kraig Eisenman

It is a bittersweet month as the REDCap@Yale team bids farewell and best wishes to our colleague and good friend , Kraig Eisenman.  Kraig will be moving into the exciting frontier in spinup as a Cloud Engineer at Yale.   

We will miss his cheerful can-do attitude, thoughtful insights, and careful attention to detail. Kraig has been an integral member of our team since 2016.  We have a sense of collective pride in his many accomplishments which contributed to excellent services and sustainable growth.  He and Brian Funaro worked together as a dynamic duo not only providing technical support, but also making suggestions for improvements along the way.  His contributions have helped our team expand from a boutique- to enterprise- level service provider.  He was a key contributor to the notable teamwork that led to the Lorimer Award. 

Some of Kraig's notable contributions include:

• Helped REDCap transition from an on-prem database system to a fully cloud-based implementation with expandable on-demand resources and system redundancy
• Guided the User Interface (UI) of the Yale REDCap Portal website
• Back-end system engineering including continual updates, improvements, and around-the-clock troubleshooting
• Maintained and rebuilt our development and testing servers
• Drafted and updated our technical and security Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Spearheaded our efforts with the InCommon application for integration

We believe this transition is a positive one for both us and for Kraig.  His experience working with researchers will inform his future work at Yale.  We wish him all the best as a Cloud Engineer service provider.

Thank you, Kraig, for all that you have done. 

Best wishes,

Your friends at the REDCap@Yale team
