I am a diligent and resourceful Operations/Data Analyst and IT Consultant with 12+ years of professional programming, analysis, engineering, security, tech support, diagnostic/repair, systems administration, and communications experience. I have a B.S. in Information Science, several IT certifications, and a perpetual desire to learn. I bring a unique combination of deep technical knowledge, strong communication skills, fast-learning, and proven problem-solving ability to challenging, collaborative, structured, high-impact enterprise environments wherein accuracy, organization, and efficiency are priorities.Since building my first computer at age 10, I have been dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and its dissemination. Nearly every aspect of my life is tracked in a spreadsheet or database (e.g. groceries, finances, medical, maintenance, projects, hobbies) which I use to help others learn from my successes and failures. I appreciate my supportive family, friends, coworkers, and cats. My hobbies and creative outlets are cooking, photo-editing, electronics, computer builds, game design, boardgames, movies/TV, and comics.I enjoy teaching as much as learning.I think any problem is solvable, given enough time and resources.I strive for efficiency, supported by detailed documentation.I believe empathy and understanding build strong, lasting relationships.I embrace the challenge and adventure in a world that is constantly changing.
