About Andy Everett

I am the IT innovator, game-changer, and pioneer that speaks the customer’s language and understands critical business needs. You could say I’m the Rosetta Stone of the tech world, the one with the translation skills to deliver customer-focused communication that deciphers “tech speak” into a universal business language that is easily understandable.My superpower is viewing innovation as a necessity to progress and turning vision into a reality. Improvement is a constant mindset--complex problems and challenges are paths to possibilities. I am excellent at seeing the problem and solution differently (i.e., backward planning). This allows me to frame each step forward as we progress towards a larger goal.I balance creativity with a deliberate practical, and functional side that includes rigorous standards. Planning and road mapping while keeping both long and short-term objectives clearly in mind ensures that the result improves efficiency, lowers cost, and meets expectations. My entire work record can be tied directly to measurable results.Leadership comes naturally to me. I manage with enthusiasm and energy that persuades others to stay engaged and focused even when that task itself is routine. What motivates me as a leader is mentoring my team in the art of Product Design and helping them see and optimize their potential.My career has experienced excellent upward mobility, and it’s my goal to continue on that path with a company where I can play a significant role in technology innovation.SKILLS & EXPERTISETechnology Architecture | Enterprise IT Solutions | Cloud Computing | Digital Product Development | Design Thinking | IoT | Agile Development & Methodologies | Test Driven Delivery | iOS/Android/Web | Continuous Delivery | AWS Platforms User Stories | Sustainable Framework | Team Building | Leadership | Analytics |Communications | Digital Products
