Senior Information Technology Business Consultant at Agency for Workforce Innovation, State of Florida
Tallahassee, Florida Area
Experienced MS-SQL Database Analyst / Administrator and Microsoft .NET application developer within the public sector.
My particular areas of study and practice include:
- Development of data warehousing and business intelligence solutions. I am particularly interested in the development of enterprise reporting, dashboard, and score-card solutions to provide insight into government IT processes in order to identify areas for improvement and/or cost reduction.
- The application of CMMI-DEV v. 1.2 and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) concepts for a consistent approach to IT process improvement within government entities.
- Utilization of Object/Role Mapping and code generation to rapidly produce n-tier application code based on the Model-View-Controller design pattern as well as WCAG 2.0 / 508 compliant web interfaces. The goal of structured code generation is to improve the quality and compliance of government systems, reduce the cost and "time to market" for initial system development, and lower the total cost of ownership in relation to recurring code-level maintenance.
