Christopher P. Email & Phone Number

At my core is a mission to make sense out of data. With over 25 years of experience as a data transformer, automation master, and solution architect, I provide clients with the goods to make critical business decisions -- such as when to build a new multi-million dollar data center, how thousands of miles of network cabling are routed, where critical equipment is located, strategize a move to the cloud, or when a service contract needs to be renewed.My first foray in data transformation and automation began with managing an author and editor database at an academic publisher in New York. Much to my astonishment, some forms were still being typed on paper. I created a new database and automation process which increased my productivity by over 50%. Using time saved, we launched a marketing brochure campaign, where I again automated the production process. This resulted in happier series editors, increased manuscript submissions, and more time saved. I was completely hooked. Taking night classes in programming, spending many hours on the phone with Microsoft, and soaking up knowledge -- I was dreaming in tables, joins, keys, indexes, objects, and code -- and loving it.I took the leap and started out on the help desk at Aperture, a small facilities and data center management software company, where the real fun began. A passion grew out of automating tasks by writing scripts to reduce time by an order of magnitude. As a result, I worked on teams creating new products, architecting processes, engineering workflows, and implementing multi-year data transformation projects in data center infrastructure management. I view myself as a digital alchemist and translator, bridging the gaps between technical -- and non technical ​teams​. Looking forward to new opportunities to create and implement tools and processes to make business better, faster, and more competitive.
