Greater Chicago Area
I have over 20 years of experience working in the digital arena, ranging from tagging some of the first e-texts in SGML to overseeing the execution of mission-critical website application development projects. I have evaluated and actively developed using a wide variety of technologies, including HTML, ColdFusion, multiple proprietary Content Management Systems, and most recently, Drupal. I am also conversant in the tools used to measure and leverage these underlying technologies for optimal organizational success, such as Google Analytics and HubSpot. None of these technologies matters without the planning and process to support it, and I’ve developed the discipline over the years to engage with the non-technological elements that ensure success. I provide the initial project estimation and expectation-setting, I resource the project teams and assist in project timeline planning, and I provide ongoing account services to actively guide clients to their next concrete success. I’ve brought that same discipline to bear internally as well: overseeing internal systems changes; developing technical processes, guidelines, and project checks; translating a transparently open culture to one of company-wide entrepreneurship through Open Book Management.
