A business manager with experience in IT system specification, selection and implementation.
More bioI am a generalist, and my expertise is more in how to use systems to get the job done than in the technical details. In my last position as a System Integrator I managed small projects to implement fact sheets for mutual funds. This work entailed gathering and documenting requirements, prototyping interfaces and reports, estimating project costs and negotiating pricing with the client, determining data sources and specifying adjustments to the database and business rules as required, being the subject expert for the development team, performing quality assurance on the data using custom Excel spreadsheets, performing quality assurance on the developed product myself or by supervising Q/A resources, getting project acceptance from the client, following up billing, managing the project backlog and preparing project status reports for management.
In my job before that I helped author RFQ documents for health care systems and did other consulting contracts. Three jobs ago I supported a 100-user Windows network for a public accounting company. Prior to that I held jobs in IT Management and General Management.
I have programmed in VBA for MS Office, and have dabbled in .NET, Java, Javascript and web development, including the implementation and maintenance of a MIVA Merchant e-commerce website.
I run a tech support business in Thornhill, Ontario (a suburb of Toronto, Ontario). My web page is at www.thetechexperts.ca.
