Bio

I am an engineer who has recognized a passion for information systems with a specific interest in cloud adoption and trends. My core skills of problem solving, project management, creativity, and the ability to learn and adapt, allow me to solve many challenges that are common throughout the information technology industry and embrace the cloud native future that is upon us. The most important thing the Computer Engineering program at Purdue University taught me was how to teach myself. I did not leave the university knowing how to do one job or one task. I left knowing I could learn anything I need and be successful at it. This skill is critical in an industry with technology and services that change rapidly. My recent experiences at Assessment Technology, Inc. and CGI have helped me solidify the type of professional I am and will continue to be: - Motivated to learn - Fearless when taking on new responsibilities or projects - Attentive to all the details that make a project successful - Committed to delivering quality - Belief in the importance of communication As a Solutions Architect with CGI I was provided the opportunity to develop my technical project management skills as well as my ability to interface effectively with clients. This involved comprehensive requirements gathering and effective communication of the overall solution. This evolution has lead to a role change where I can be more client facing and help our clients solve their IT challenges in creative ways. As time has progressed I have found myself in a more strategic role that allows me to help shape the future of our clients digital transformation and drive the internal development of cloud native offerings and services.
