An accomplished and innovative problem solver, I seek simple and elegant solutions to complex problems. I take a user-centric approach to the work I do as a business analyst and technologist. I understand that people are the critical equation in any process and I endeavor to engineer systems that empower them to be more efficient and effective in their daily tasks. Over time, I've found that business solutions optimized for people yields powerful ROI, both financial and non-financial.I am passionate about usability, efficiency, collaboration and cognitive science...why our brains work like they do. This passion has led me throughout my work history to architect innovative solutions that truly focus on the end user. I believe that the business analyst role can benefit greatly from a design thinking approach. I understand that business systems and processes are multifaceted, and only by careful examination of all of the facets can we build solutions that address the needs of all involved. I inject this drive to improve the user experience into all the work I do, from the very beginning phases of a project through to project delivery. As a technologist, I utilize business-facing experience with strong analytical, technical and personal communication skills to deliver transformative business and knowledge management solutions to my clients. I am also an avid mind mapper and technology evangelist. I believe that using technology in the right way, for the right purpose, can greatly enrich our lives. I have a strong background in helping companies deploy collaborative technologies with a focus on their organizational culture. I have a passion for teaching and have worked hard to be recognized as an accomplished instructor, known for my ability to explain difficult concepts in a clear and concise manner. The common constant running through all of my professional and personal experience is the desire to help people do better and more meaningful work.
