John M. Peters’s Summary

Experience: More than 25 years of systems analysis and application development, predominantly for Hewlett-Packard Company. Strong background in data warehousing/business intelligence. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Good with user training and support documentation.

Goal: My ultimate goal has always been to help my organization prosper through more effective and efficient use of technology. Sometimes meeting this goal requires technical savvy; other times, people and communication skills. I'd like a role where I could do some of each.

John M. Peters’s Specialties:

I have programming experience in several high-level languages, including C. In the data warehousing arena, I've designed and developed entire data warehouses, created data loading and data extraction/summarization processes, and provided end-user reporting, from detailed reports to highly-summarized metrics dashboards. I've supported all of the above, including writing documentation and providing training. My best strength is my ability to explain technical concepts to just about anyone.
