Jon DiPietro’s Summary

My professional mantra is “domesticating information technology.” I show businesses how to identify and implement the simplest, most cost-effective IT strategies that will get them to the next level. I’ve developed a broad range of technical skills over the past 20 years, complimented by twelve years as an entrepreneur and consultant.

I like to describe my work history as a journey up the “information food chain.” I began my career as an instrumentation and controls engineer, designing and maintaining automated machine control systems. As technology advanced, I became more involved in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, interfacing with them to build ever more advanced data collection and reporting systems. Eventually, I transitioned into developing enterprise software and database applications (primarily focused in areas of process and quality control).

Jon DiPietro’s Specialties:

Developing software applications, aligning business and technology strategies, dulling the bleeding edge.
