Hi - Thanks for taking a minute to get to know me, and what I bring to the table!

First, I've been working in the tech field for a long time - and I've seen and helped implement a lot of changes over the years. My most recent certification is as an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, but I have achieved certifications in a bunch of tools, including SAFe, Windows, the IBM JAZZ (Engineering) tools, and Novell way back in the day... I'm a huge believer in always learning - I'm currently working on getting my IBM Cloud certifications, but I'm also looking into a number of other technologies as well, including RedHat OpenShift, IBM Food Trust and others. There's SO MUCH to learn out there!

My customers all know that I am dedicated to their success - they all have my personal cell phone number, and I often get calls "out of the blue" for help with something at the spur of the moment. And that's ok – that's why I give them the number. While I don't have all the answers to all the questions, what I CAN do is bring together the right people to help solve the challenge at hand. I know that IBM is a big organization, with a LOT of data out there on the web. A Google search is great, but sometimes the volume of data returned can be daunting. Please feel free to reach out to me if you're having trouble finding an answer, and if I can't help you right away, I'm sure I can help connect you to the right resource.

Other stuff that I put in my resume - I have a broad technical knowledge combined with outstanding leadership ability and creative problem-solving skills. I'm an Analytic and creative individual with experience in matching software and process solutions to Business Stakeholder needs. I'm an excellent verbal and written communicator, able to document and explain complex concepts and processes to non-technical individuals at all levels. I have built and led diverse geographically distributed teams to satisfy a wide range of customer technical needs, and I have both professional and personal contacts around the world with whom I communicate regularly.

Finally, for the last few years I have:

I've created a few How-To videos and shared them on my YouTube playlist or you can access those and others at the How-to Videos page at the ABS Site.
