Paul Pinneo has been named the University of Illinois Springfield Employee of the Month for June 2022. He has worked as Web Specialist III for the UIS Office of Web Services since July 2019.

Pinneo’s nominator describes him as “a great team player, always helping the office/campus as a whole with his contributions outside of his day-to-day duties.”

“He is always pleasant to work with and I get nothing but compliments about Paul for his responsiveness and willingness to jump in and help at a moment’s notice,” said Jessica Baumberger, his supervisor and director of UIS Web Services. “He is very smart and talented. He is always up to solve any problem and is great at thinking outside of the box to solve tasks in the most efficient way.”

Pinneo played a large role in the recent launch of a new UIS website, including developing the many data integrations from various campus data sources and vendors to create more dynamic content. He also played a huge role in implementing the new design and migrating and auditing content to ensure the site follows accessibility and usability best practices.

“He has been imperative to the web migration project and would not have been able to get the site launched in the short period of time without his hard work and effort,” Baumberger said. “He is also great working and collaborating with departments across campus. We are very lucky to have Paul as part of the university team.”
