With over 18 years of experience in the technology industry, I am a hands-on Chief Technology Officer (CTO) known for leading by example and fostering a collaborative, innovative environment. At the Scheduling Institute, where I have been since 2013, I guide all major technology initiatives and drive strategic direction. My journey at SI has seen me grow from Senior Developer to Tech Team Lead, and now CTO, overseeing the development of custom web applications and integrating key systems like AWS, NetSuite, Salesloft, RingCentral, Angular, PHP/MYSQL, Dell Boomi, and Marketo.Our team excels in building and enhancing our client web portal, developing a new mobile content app, an iPad sales tool for field teams, and maintaining some home-grown internal applications that have proven their value. I implement stringent security measures, mentor our software developers, and manage our NetSuite, IT support, and Office 365 environments, all while ensuring continuous learning and productivity optimization. Additionally, I support marketing team initiatives, leveraging technology to drive effective campaigns and enhance customer engagement.Beyond my professional life, I am a musician at heart, playing piano and singing, which fuels my creative approach to problem-solving and innovation. While I strive to push the boundaries of what technology can achieve, I believe that people and processes are the true drivers of success. Technology is vital, but with the right people and processes, we can achieve extraordinary results without change for the sake of change.
