I’m an architect of solutions. A strategic thinker, doer, a translator and a facilitator. A highly adaptable, patient and experienced technology professional seeking a position in a creative environment. I thrive in a multitasking environment, enjoy sharing my passion for technology and building trust between business units. I’ve succeeded in breaking the traditional perception of a technologist by being a patient listener, learner and teacher.
At my core I'm a personable nerd with broad interests who's roots in technology are deep. I love interacting with people on a personal level and establishing trust in order to make folks feel comfortable with technology.
