I have a real passion for improving people's lives by implementing technology. This passion has led me to help my fellow employees by using technology to help them work smarter. Whether that was implementing a better way of storing CAD files, or automating the input of shop floor hours into our accounting system - I concentrate on how technology can reduce mundanity. In other words, helping humans do what they do best (creative tasks) by using computers to do what they do best (repetitive tasks).I have found that a holistic view of technology is the best way of understanding the best tool for a given job. Over my career I have filled a variety of roles in IT - from more front line roles (wiring buildings, fixing consumer computers, administering small to medium sized networks, programming, and database administration) to more managerial roles. The experiences from each role I have held has helped me solve real world business problems by finding the best mix of technology and process improvement.Specialties: Project Management, Software Development, Database Administration, UNIX administration (IBM AIX), Glovia Superlayer development, Microsoft .net Development (C#), Microsoft SQL Server DBA and Development, Oracle DBA and Development, Java Development, SSRS, Project Management, Kronos HRMS/WFC 5.2-7, VMWare VSphere 5.5, MacOS 7-10.10, ERP Implementation in Manufacturing Environment, and Process Improvement.
