I am a technology enthusiast excited about delivering IT solutions that drive business value from increased automation, systems collaboration, or workflow reengineering. I have a technical background in software development across desktop, mobile, and web platforms as well as experience in various data storage models. My focus is in the analysis of business requirements and designing solutions to enable businesses to be more efficient, effective, and economical, which will hopefully drive deeper mutual appreciation of Business-IT synergy.
