SUMMARY:

• I have 14 years of experience in system architecture and development of complex data systems for Enterprise and small business. Proven ability to lead multiple development teams on high - profile initiatives consisting of multiple cross-functional dependencies locally, remotely, and off-shore. Strong business acumen and comfortable interacting directly with customers, stakeholders, and executives at all levels. Very strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Easily learns new technology and can quickly determine alignment of new technology within tactical and strategic vision. Proven ability to effectively manage constantly changing priorities across multiple simultaneous projects within fast-paced environments.
• I have been building and expanding software development teams for 10 years ranging in size from one to ten. At the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, I established the .NET/SharePoint/SQL Server development team. The team offered application development services to customers throughout the Federal Reserve System. I led this effort successfully over the course of 6 years, building my team from scratch while simultaneously remotely leading a business intelligence team of 3 Developers, 1 QA, and 1 BA residing at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the later 4 years. Leading these teams in the hands-on matter that I did, including development, architecture, and leadership, gave me the opportunity to broaden the scope of my skill set very wide, with significant depth. I left the Federal Reserve after six years in search of what I could not find there, the reality of leading near the bleeding edge of technology and the many opportunities to make an impact on the world, big or small. At that time, that technology was the cloud; Now, that technology is AI/ML, Graph, Cognitive, Quantum, IoT, HoloLens, etc.
• I started my current position in February 2018 upon which I inherited an existing small team, the operations department as my internal customer and a 3rd party IT consulting group that was in the middle of migrating Dynamics 365 from 3rd party cloud hosting providing directly to Microsoft Azure. The 3rd party has since completed the migration and handed the entire system off to me which I also now manage the daily operations and support of. I am currently responsible for all aspects of information technology operations, information security, systems architecture and development efforts and manage a small team.
• One of my primary roles is leading the Application Development and DevOps teams to deliver innovative, cost efficient strategies and solutions that follow Agile methodologies and maintain HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2 compliance. I am currently leveraging the latest Microsoft technology to execute platform modernization and consolidation efforts, decrease system complexity, and eliminate down-time. I have current hands-on experience with the management and customization of Microsoft Dynamics 365, Office 365, and the Microsoft Power platform (PowerApps, Power BI, and Flow). I am also very hands-on with the latest Azure services available in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), Sales and Customer Insights, Cognitive Services, and Bot Services.
• I am looking for an opportunity to take my career to the next level with a company that has a vision and needs a hands-on technical leader/architect who can execute and deliver. In such an opportunity, I would directly influence IT strategy as well as be accountable and critical to its success. I have a passion for continuous learning, efficiency, and exploring new ideas.
