Dear Viewer:

As a highly-skilled senior IT manager/engineer with 20 years of experience planning and executing major technology initiatives for diverse organizations, I seek a position as Project Manager or Analyst for a solid company. Throughout my career I have amassed a broad range of technical expertise, spanning from business intelligence systems through disaster recovery, application development, data center implementation, server deployment, infrastructure upgrades, business intelligence and healthcare systems using DICOM and HL7. Across all areas of expertise I have demonstrated a talent for analysis and planning that lets me evaluate the requirements of a project and develop an execution strategy that aligns with business goals.

In addition, I excel at keeping team members on track to ensure efficient, cost-effective implementations. I’ve also led multiple continuous improvement projects, with a focus on delivering greater functionality and productivity through new technologies. Highlights of my achievements include:

  • Supporting sales team as a DICOM sales engineer and directing the development team of additions needed in products to excel in market.
  • Adapting an EMR system with limited functionality to meet all the needs of the company. Evaluated the system, suggested additions, and developed an integration strategy.
  • Launching business management processes that aligned with the new EMR environment, including delivering new reports that significantly enhanced business functionality.
  • Assuring business continuity by launching a disaster recovery initiative that deployed redundant servers and backup processes governing changeover during an outage.
  • Circumventing thousands of dollars in lost revenue and landed a $500,000 contract that stipulated mandatory backup facilities as a result of the disaster recovery project.
  • Reducing invoice generation time and improving information accessibility by replacing an obsolete reporting system with a new server-based Business Intelligence system.
  • Leading a healthcare software startup to achieve HIPAA compliance. Defined the policies and procedures that led to a passing score on a third-party compliance audit.

I believe that my accomplishments demonstrate the project management experience, technical expertise, and leadership skills necessary to successfully manage your IT project teams.
