RESUME PAGE
MY RESUME DETaILS
I am seeking a strategic technology solutions position in which I can leverage my 30 years experience leading successful technology initiatives.
In my role as Chief Solutions Officer and Co-Founder of eGov Strategies, I worked with customers and led our team in various aspects of the business: strategic product direction and product priorities; implementation leadership and approach; training deliverables and training delivery; regression testing & quality assurance; and customer support and retention.
I am a motivated solutions architect - comfortable with agile & waterfall project management - and very results-focused.
2024-25 INITIATIVES
Several side projects have led me to pursue software development efforts in both AI and Data Analytics. More on Data Analytics is listed in the next row.
AI PROJECTS:
dugger.ai - created a software portal w/ secure login that utilzes the Open AI API to create AI summaries for collections of documents like government agenda packets. (Python + Open AI)
AI Chatbots - uses local search feature to look for answers locally, then uses an Internet search if a good match is not found (WordPress)
DATA ANALYTICS
As a slight departure from the web, I have thrown myself into the world of Data Analytics and its intersection with AI - a nice complement to my Excel skills and knowledge of SQL and programming. Check out my Data Analytics page for more.
TECHNOLOGY
I bring a well-rounded background in product management, implementation, training and end-user support, with deep experience guiding projects from concept to completion. While my recent focus has been in the Atlassian and Agile ecosystems, I’m equally comfortable managing traditional waterfall projects.
Marketing
I created and led marketing for two initiatives from the beginning - and each became successful leveraging "startup" budgets. IndyGov.org was recognized as a top government website at the end of 1990s and eGov Strategies was acquired by a Silicon Valley-based VC in 2020.
