I'm obsessed with driving revenue growth, operational efficiency, and ROI by enhancing business applications through better application software. I have an exceptionally strong background in the analysis and design of transportation and logistics systems (characterized by sophisticated interactive applications, high transaction volumes, specialized revenue accounting processes, and extreme time-sensitivity).As a strong-sense critical thinker, I favor long-term solutions and am biased to prompt action based on short-term circumstances, stakeholder feedback, economic analysis, Agile principles, and risk management. As a team leader, I focus on creating an collegial, ego-damped environment where praise is deflected down and I stand up to take the heat.My approach to excellence in enterprise architecture and program delivery starts with engaging the stakeholder community and includes gathering and prioritizing requirements, applying quality principles throughout the initiative, observing lean practices, and finding order in chaos. I am an evangelist and relentlessly "will-do" in keeping business and IT aligned. Managing the software engineering process, particularly technical debt, is a primary focus. I have migrated mainframes and client/server networks to the AS400 and now am focused on AS400 to cloud migrations.I’ve worked in the transportation and logistics sector as an ISV for more than 20 years. LTL/400 and AgiliTrans, my transportation management systems, are installed in 12 of the top 50 LTL carriers in North America.Other skills and experiences include software project quality assurance reviews, Agile coaching, troubled project recovery, data migration project management, the Cloud, SQL Server, and IBM’s System i (AS400).My professional certifications include PMP, Scrum Master, CSDP, CGEIT, CISA, and ITIL Foundations v3.My avocation is emergency management and disaster response, including rescue operations and aviation logistics.
