Summary

Solving business problems with technology is what drives me. I believe it can make life easier for us if implemented correctly and for the right reasons.

I help teams focus, design solutions and implement them. When new issues arise, go through the same cycle. I believe that while perfection is a goal, delivery is a need. To achieve that balance teams need to work together, and in my 15+ yrs in the IT world I've seen it in small and large organizations.

I can provide guidance, training and work with different groups of stakeholders and business owners to translate requirements into a functional solutions.

If you'd like to schedule a session, send me a message and I will reply as soon as possible.
