As a Data & Analytics Leader, I have experience leading a Data Engineering Practice, including staffing decisions, service offerings, sales/pre-sales, scoping and SOW writing, & client/project leadership. Additionally, as a Partner/Owner at Axian, I was responsible for all Finance & Internal Systems areas including Financial Planning & Analysis, Payroll/Bonuses, Invoicing, Corporate Taxes, Corporate Insurance, 401k Trustee, Office/Cloud based back-office Networking, Office 365 subscriptions, Employee Onboarding/Off Boarding, Employee Laptops/Hardware, & Medical Insurance Coverages (aka Open Enrollment). I enjoy solving puzzles as a team, working collaboratively, & taking on new challenges every day using technology as my solution set.I've worked in the Data Engineering & Business Intelligence industry for over 20 years, combining my MBA and Data Analysis skill sets with my experience managing large implementation projects and small programming tasks to provide value to stakeholders. Additionally, I've translated my practical experience into Data & Analytics curriculums at Portland State University’s School of Business & Center for Executive and Professional Education, where I've enjoyed teaching coursework in Data Analysis, Data Warehousing, & Data Visualization and Storytelling.
