At Prairie my work has been focused on creating an environment that enables a variety of Civil Engineering verticals to work effectively from small offices, home, and in the field. We're migrating systems to SaaS where possible, Azure architecture, VDI, and further away from the domain each day. An ideal vision of a zero-touch deployment of equipment is becoming increasingly real! Pre-Prairie despite my work being primarily IT I also was heavily involved in developing sales forecasting models, and a new standard costing model for manufacturing -- including the design, reporting, and analysis of proper methods for labor, VOH, FOH costs. I've also been working heavily on a project to re-engineer several processes related to material movement; including barcode consumption. I've also been tasked with leading our purchasing department with goals of reduction of inventory. We were successful in pulling out more than $2M in raw material inventory over 9 months.I relish the implementation of new applications that improve processes and experiences. My role at Prairie and previous companies has been one of both developing systems, applications, and tools but then also of leading my team and guiding them to providing those same things for our staff and clients. I've found in the past few years I've taken even more satisfaction at seeing the fruits of their labors than at the success of my own.Specialties: Network design, Systems and Server management, Virtualization and Cloud (Azure), InfoSec, ColdFusion web application development, JavaScript and Ajax-type dynamic development using Prototype and jQuery, Windows Server/System setup and support, MS SQL, MySQL database management, graphic design and web layout with CSS, end-user training, and generally any need at integrating IT with the wider business users. That purpose is largely what drove my pursuit of an MBA and has served me very well so far.
