About MeBelieve it or not, before designing software solutions, I designed in a fabric store. That's right, my journey began in high school at a fabric store, where I helped customers choose fabrics and designs to fit their needs and budgets. Today, I apply these exact principles to designing software systems that meet clients’ requirements and budgets. I am a passionate management and technical leader who gets things DONE. What I DoMost clients come to me because their systems are not performing, and their tech stack is outdated. I specialize in custom software systems tailored to fit your business needs. I am in lock-step with clients; I understand their challenges and vision. With their input, I plan and direct delivery teams to bring that vision to life. My background as a developer means I bridge the gap between business and technical teams, ensuring clear communication and efficient implementation.ExperienceWith 30 years of IT consulting experience across various industries, including nonprofits, private, and public sectors, I help organizations of all sizes. Most leaders inside these organizations lack the perfect fit "on the inside" - that person who can strategize and create IT solutions to solve their business problems. That's where I come in. I thrive on understanding user problems and generating innovative ideas to solve them. The joy of seeing a solution come together and a plan take shape is what drives me.My ApproachI am detail-oriented but can also see the 30,000-foot view, allowing me to balance the finer details with the overall strategy. I understand the challenges of limited staff and budget, and I know what it takes to deliver an effective IT system. I remove obstacles to ensure teams are productive and perform at their best. My software solutions are configurable, reducing dependency on IT staff and allowing for greater flexibility.Career Highlights* Achieved a perfect 5.0 rating on Clutch.io from clients.* Introduced Agile practices and techniques to turn around strategic projects that had issues due to poor planning and requirements, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and secured additional funding.* Developed an innovative approach to apply Earned Value Management principles, improving the management and monitoring of Agile projects.
