I know first-hand how difficult it is to achieve tangible business results with analytics and technology programs.
I overcome these challenges with a relentless focus on delivering value via incremental agile development processes.

Highlights of my project portfolio
01.
Incorporated Predictive Modeling into Day-to-Day Business Processes
Operations management needed to predict and manage production output, while considering the variability in staff skills, product mix, attendance, work duration, overtime, and task complexity.
Normalized the Data: Developed a system named PACMAN (Performance and Capacity Management) that normalizes various factors affecting lab output.
Enhanced Diagnostics: Made it straightforward to pinpoint discrepancies between predicted and actual output.
Informed Decision-Making: Provided management with clear insights, reducing the need for guesswork and preventing potential overcorrection or exacerbation of issues.
02.
Brought an API product to market, generating $3+ million in revenue
The gem and jewelry industry needed a programmatic way to access accurate diamond grading report information to facilitate trade.
System Engineering: Developed a microservice that natively runs in the cloud, ensuring scalability and security.
Product Development: Led the complete product launch from conception, design, pricing, marketing, business development, and client outreach.
Customer-Centric Approach: Collaborated with customers to understand their needs. The result was fantastic adoption, and clients praised it as the best API they had ever used.
03.
Transformed a troubled software development program into a productive agile development shop highly aligned to business needs
Our mission-critical software development program was error prone, slow, and unable to meet business needs.
Leadership Alignment: Created a steering committee to align development to business initiatives such as new product development, regulatory requirements, and operational improvements.
Agile Transformation: I spearheaded the shift to an agile development culture and foster empowered, self-directed teams.
System Modernization: Led the transition from a legacy monolithic system to a modern microservice architecture, supporting rapid development while maintaining the stability of revenue-generating systems.
04.
Created the Laboratory's quality control program
Management needed to establish a quality control program to monitor and maintain the Laboratory's renowned quality and consistency.
Statistical Process Control: The program was deeply rooted in Statistical Process Control Theory. Control charts helped management detect changes in output quality.
Performance Metrics: Instituted metrics for assessing both overall laboratory performance and individual employee performance, which were essential for ethical and actionable staff reviews.
Management Tools: Developed reports, training, and processes to help management drive the metrics.
About Me
After 20+ years of bringing tech and analytical solutions to production, I've learned what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to operationalizing development and analytical tools.And, it's hardly ever about the technology.It's about setting a vision and creating clarity for your teams.
