Brian Crowley Email and Phone Number

A senior IT manager with a software development background, leading multi-disciplinary teams to create quality solutions to business challenges.I pride myself on being able to relate sometimes complex technical issues to non-technical members of an organisation, whilst also being able to gain a deep understanding of those issues. This allows me to offer help and support to the technical teams in the technical resolution, whilst also undertaking wider stakeholder management that is often required. I have experience of managing large teams in matrix managed environments, also ensuring that I do not lose sight of the individuals who make up those teams.Having come from a development background, I have practical experience of Windows and web application design and development, including different architectural approaches; I have extensive experience with database development, including performance optimisation of existing database applications. I have a track record of improving team delivery through a mixture of re-organisation and process improvement. An enthusiast of Agile principles, I am also a keen practitioner of automating as much as possible and have had particular success with this in the packaging, release, and deployment of software products.Specialities:Problem solvingSoftware architectureDatabase design and performance tuningMatrix management of teams, including offshore elementsExperience with DevOps techniques and tools, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code
