I have always been a social person. I am the guy you bring to a wedding or work event because, by the end of the night, you have six new friends dancing and laughing together. Little did I know that this innate talent for communication and listening would serve me well in my career.My passion for IT was ignited 15 years ago when a friend taught me binary code on a bar napkin at 1 AM. It was a revelation - the perfect blend of technology and relationship-building. I knew then that this was the career path I wanted to pursue.Over the years, I've honed my sales and business management skills, but my love for technology has never waned. As an IT professional, I have a unique ability to look at technical issues from a business perspective. I understand that technology initiatives must improve business functionality and continuity to succeed.I take pride in being able not only to solve technical problems but also communicate effectively with clients and build lasting relationships. In short, my passion for technology and love of people has led me to a career that allows me to do both. I'm excited to bring my unique blend of skills and experience to every client I work with, helping them to achieve their goals and thrive in the ever-evolving world of IT.If you're interested in learning more about how I can help you (or if you want to know more about my napkin knowledge), please shoot me an email at dlofgren@jmachicago.comCore Competencies● IT Solutions Strategy● Business Analysis & Budget Planning● SaaS Business Management ● Project Planning & Project Management● Security Auditing & Risk Assessment ● Business Development Strategic Planning ● Financial Analysis & Expense Management● Information Technology Management● Software Engineering & Application Support● Cloud-Based Solutions Innovation
